Charlie Leonard:
"...If you listen, it's clear Barack Obama has abandoned the mantra of hope and change — and the personal responsibility he spoke of so eloquently just three years ago. When the president speaks about “fairness,” it's all one-sided, as if none of us outside the ranks of top corporations played any part in the housing boom and bust. Seriously? All of the speculation on credit was the fault of greedy bankers? Were we all that stupid, or maybe, just maybe, were we all just a little culpable?
When the president speaks of the economic challenges of the middle class, it's entirely the result of selfish businesses that “play by their own rules.”
The truth is that globalization and technology have forever altered the ability of low-skilled workers in the United States to demand the wages and benefits they received when our economy depended on a domestic manufacturing base..."
