Or have their lost their spines? After all, the police are public servants, and were even once referred to as peace officers, charged with resolving disputes, defusing danger and, when necessary, applying lethal force to keep the public safe.

by Robert B. Reich

08/17/09

My friend Sally … voted for Obama and still likes him, but she’s increasingly upset about his policies. ‘He’s giving away the store,’ she complains, pointing to his penchant for compromise. ‘He gave Wall Street $600 billion in bailouts and doesn’t even want to regulate it, gave big polluters 85 percent of the cap-and-trade permits, and has promised the American Medical Association, Big Pharma, and private insurers whatever they want in return for their support of universal health care.’ Sally says she voted for Obama because he promised to change American politics, but she thinks corporate interests are more powerful than ever...
