    SPIEGEL ONLINE: Why would Obama reverse himself?

    Ellsberg: He's a good politician. He said what he needed to say to get elected, and now he's just taking advantage of the office. Like any administration before, his administration caters to the profits of big corporations like BP and Goldman Sachs -- even though I think BP won't get off that easily this time. His early campaign contributions, the big corporate contributions, came from Wall Street. They got their money's worth.

    In fact, during the campaign of 2008, three candidates were backed by Wall Street: Obama, Hillary Clinton and John McCain. If you look at the rhetoric, the most promising was John Edwards. Too bad he turned out to be a jerk.

    I guess he's not a big fan, anymore.

    And he can see clear to the end of 2011. The man's magical! Oh well, for as bad as Obama is in his eyes he'll still vote for him in the next election. Doesn't say a whole lot about the wing nuts, now does it?
