Sorry I hit the send button in error before I replied. I was going to send the article below but with the heading: Quotes from Chairman Henwood.
“The left has been immobilized by Obama, for the most part,” says Mr. Street’s comrade Doug Henwood, a Manhattan Marxist who produces the popular Left Business Review and hosts a weekly radio show with socialist sympathies in New York and California. “A lot of people think the country’s being run by a left-wing radical.” But in fact Mr. Obama is “a kind of centre-slightly-left politician” overseeing the resale of America’s financial assets at fire-sale prices to the same private interests that screwed them up in the first place.
Cheers, ken hanly
