[Peace-discuss] Hey, Obama-lovers: he did it again...

[C. G. Estabrook]

Are you *defending* him, Tom?

He is after all the president.  Instead of accepting the Republican/business 
view, he could have led in the other direction.  But it's been clear for a while 
(since he entered politics, in fact) that he's desperate to flack for the 
business elite.

I hope you weren't polite about him.  Regards, Carl
