His endorsement of what he calls the "Volcker Rule" for once puts him squarely on the side of ordinary Americans as opposed to the banking bandits who have so thoroughly fleeced the public. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/robertscheer/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20100127/cm_uc_crrscx/op_1712779 uc/20100127/op_1712779 Robert Scheer opinion Wed, 27 Jan 2010 08:00:00 GMT Robert Scheer - The state of the union is just miserable, no matter how President Obama sugarcoats it. He will claim that progress has been made in stabilizing the markets, increasing national security and advancing toward meaningful health care reform, but he will be wrong on all three counts. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/robertscheer/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20100120/cm_uc_crrscx/op_1712704 uc/20100120/op_1712704 Robert Scheer opinion Wed, 20 Jan 2010 08:00:00 GMT Robert Scheer - The president got creamed in Massachusetts. No amount of blaming this disastrous outcome on the weaknesses of the local Democratic candidate or her Republican opponent's strengths can gainsay that fact. Obama's opportunistic search for win-win solutions to our health care concerns and our larger economic problems is leading to a lose-lose outcome for the president and the country. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/robertscheer/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20100113/cm_uc_crrscx/op_1712624 uc/20100113/op_1712624 Robert Scheer opinion Wed, 13 Jan 2010 08:00:00 GMT Robert Scheer - The Chinamen did it. In the great American tradition of finding foreign scapegoats for our problems, the hunt is on to somehow hold China responsible for the misery that Wall Street financiers inflicted upon the world. Even the normally restrained New York Times editorial page argued Tuesday that China's tying its currency to the dollar was a devious trick that "is exacerbating economic weakness around the globe."
