If I were a greedy capitalist.

One thing I like about Barack Obama. He's well-intentioned. That's far more than one can say about most politicians, it seems to me. I think he's truly looking out for the middle class and poor people. In other words, he's for bringing relief to the 'have-nots.' Of course, that means the 'haves' tend to see Obama as an enemy. As a threat to their riches. Because he'd tap some of it to help the less privileged. The Robinhood syndrome. So little wonder that the Republicans -- the party of special interests and the wealthy -- have been bad-mouthing Obama since he took office. And I suppose if I were a greedy capitalist, I'd put Obama on my (s)hit list, too. But I'm a middle class socialist sympathizer. So, go to it, Obama. --Jim Broede

I'm looking forward to the day when a better economic system replaces capitalism. Yes, we can do better. --Jim
