Still, there as this:

> Change is building an economy that rewards not just wealth, but the work and workers who created it. It's understanding that the struggles facing working families can't be solved by spending billions of dollars on more tax breaks for big corporations and wealthy CEOs, but by giving a the middle-class a tax break, and investing in our crumbling infrastructure, and transforming how we use energy, and improving our schools, and renewing our commitment to science and innovation. It's understanding that fiscal responsibility and shared prosperity can go hand-in-hand, as they did when Bill Clinton was President.

There were some words, too.

^^^^^^^ CB: To posture as if Obama's admin has been some huge "betrayal" ( of the rev) of these words is social democratic/ultra-left/Meneshvik FRAUD AND PREVARICATION , demagogy. Basically, the Modern Menshevik position is that Obama did not single-handedly institute stronger Keynesian ( bourgeois "socialist") measures. What a joke.

Who do u Mensheviks think u r fooling ? U don't have a socialist program. U r not chastising O with failing to win (single- handedly) a socialist or Marxist program. U r chastising him for not instituting Paul Liberal Krugman's program. F R A U D !!!

And what goddamn American President ever fulfilled all their campaign promises , unless it was bad stuff ? U hold Obama to a standard higher than the country has ever had. Same ole racist story. Black professionals held to higher standards than whites. Teddy Roosevelt did not win the Presidency , let alone institute 8 hour day, women's suffrage and unemployment insurance.
