Obama met his agenda. First and foremost, it's to get re-elected. What's that worth to progressives? Hmmmmmm....

Agenda: Developments in Financial Markets and the Federal Reserve's Balance Sheet , Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF), Overall Economy and Consumer Spending, Federal Funds Rate and Unexpected Declines, LIBOR, Broad Stock Price Indices,

No We Can't / Yes We Can / No We Can't. Obama had millions of followers eager to fight for his agenda. But the president muzzled them~and he's paying the price. Feb 02, 2010 9:27 AM

"Why is our economic system consigning billions of people to degrading poverty, destroying Earth's ecosystem, and tearing up the social fabric of civilized community? "

"The Illusion of Money Liberation from subservience to Wall Street begins with a recognition that money is just a number of no intrinsic value. "

"Wall Street grows weaker as the myths underlying its power unravel. "
