[Marxism] "Obama defends Republic Windows and Doors workers"

[Dbachmozart at aol.com]

Wow - for a second, I thought that I was reading some gushing report from  
Progressive Democrats of America, but  alas, this on a Marxism list.
 
 
This is false! It can't be true! Obama cannot support 
the workers  because Obama is a capitalist who cannot 
support the workers! This is false!  It can't be true!
 
 
This is a silly caricature of what Obama's left critics have been saying.  
Bourgeois politicians, especially slick ones, are quite capable of leftist  
rhetoric when the situation calls for it. ACTIONS speak louder than rhetoric,  and 
so far, Obama's actions -
 
support for NAFTA
leaning towards keeping the Bush tax cuts for the rich
support for the Wall Street welfare ripoff
support for making it more difficult for working class families to claim  
bankruptcy
 
are not at all worker-friendly. To those people we talk politics to who are  
pro-Obama, we say as Malcolm X did -
 
time will tell.
