It's the tiny American economic elite, whom he auditioned for. <br>

"Dominant social groups," if you're feeling sociological, or the
"ruling class" if you like the old-time religion. It's the same

<div>I think we already know the answer to that one; but a
better and more accurate way of stating the question might
be “Who isn’t he working for?” The answer to the newly
restated question is “not us”. I am afraid that Obama is
working for Obama first and foremost – opportunistically
supporting whatever at the moment looks like it will be best
for Obama and his future interests – political and
economical.</div>

to Renege on Afghan Drawdown</b><br>
"The Obama administration has decided to begin publicly
walking away from what it once touted as key deadlines in
the war in Afghanistan in an effort to de-emphasize
President Barack Obama's pledge that he'd begin withdrawing
U.S. forces in July 2011, administration and military
officials have told McClatchy." This report indicates not
only that the "surge" failed militarily, but that the
political policy in which it was embedded - that troops
would be withdrawn whether the surge succeeded or not - has
also failed...<br>

<b>Obama reportedly agrees to allow rich bigger tax cut
than middle class</b><br>
By John Byrne<br>
Thursday, November 11th, 2010<br>
David Axelrod, the senior adviser to President Barack Obama,
says that the White House has conceded to Republicans in
giving into tax cuts for the wealthy, a legacy of a Bush-era
policy to reduce federal taxes for various income classes.
He doesn't, however, say that the rich should enjoy the tax
cuts forever, but the decision to agree to a temporary
extension of the cuts may be a moot point, because it likely
will simply push the issue to a future presidential term...<br>
