If I could ask President Obama one question, I think it would be this...why does he always have to have a villain? Think about this for a minute. Obama is always bashing a villain....of his own choosing.
During the campaign and throughout his adolescent administration Obama has always vilified "the rich" (BTW, the rich defined as those who make more than $ 250k but not the super-rich because the super-rich throw really great fund raising parties) As Obama started his push to ram healthcare down America's throat he has railed against a variety of villains. First it was the docs who did unnecessary procedures to line their pockets. Next it was big Pharma, then it was the health insurance companies. Now that the voters of Massachusetts have summarily rejected Obama's health care fiasco, he is going after the banks. Now I am not here to defend obtuse Ivy Leaguers who can't understand why giving themselves mega-bonuses the year after the government bailed them out is a bad idea, but they are the the new villains in the Obama cross hairs. Thankfully Obama's aim is about as good as his ability to read public opinion, but why a new villain? It seems like the only people Obama has not vilified are the villains from radical Islam who want to blow us up.
Maybe Obama skipped his business law classes at Harvard or his finance classes at Columbia, but someone needs to point out that the "corporations" that Obama continually pummels are made up of employees, stockholders, and suppliers who feed their families, pay their mortgages, and buy their cars with salaries, commissions, and bonuses from their jobs...at corporations.
Maybe the common thread here is that all of these villains make money...but not enough money to be big donors to the Obama campaign. I can't figure it out. All of the employees of these corporations are regular Americans minding their business, trying to make a good living. I guess in the 3 years remaining in his administration, Obama will get around to making all of us a villain. Wait your turn.
