What two parties?

Let's face it. Obama and his crew cater to the moneyed power players and that's it. Period. He caved to the Health Insurance Industry (no public option AFTER he dismissed single-payer outright), is balking at having Elizabeth Warren be appointed to the new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection agency (he could have appointed her immediately upon the creation of the agency or he could now appoint her while Congress is not in session) and now he won't even comment on the Google/Verizon agreement that's in the wings.

He talked the talk during the campaign for presidency,

"The most important thing we can probably do is to preserve the diversity that's emerging through the Internet...something called net neutrality," he declared in April 2008. "I will take a backseat to no one in my commitment to network neutrality."

but he certainly doesn't walk the walk. Even his Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, is crabbing at the "Professional Left" as he puts it. Gibbs is not even taking back his words. Instead, he uses the lame word "inartful" to describe his comments.

I've written about it before, but the two parties in power are cut from the same cloth. The only difference I see is if the Republicans were in power we would be symbolically hanged immediately by being dropped through the scaffold and snapping our necks. With the Democrats it's more of a case of slow strangulation (the boiling frog analogy). Either way, those of us who are not very rich and powerful are dead.
