Do You Like Chomsky Better Now?
Chomsky says:
"they're simply recycling, the Bush-Paulson measures and changing them a little, but essentially the same idea: keep the institutional structure the same, try to kind of pass things up, bribe the banks and investors to help out, but avoid the measures that might get to the heart of the problem."

Simply... while I appreciate your dedication to a cause, please spend the five points to promote it in your own question rather than off topic 'spamming' in unrelated questions. Thanks!
Poyzin and JohnM... I can only assume then that you judiciously read the article, but remain steadfast in your absolute agreement with Obama's economic policies?

No because for me it would be impossible to like him more than I already did barring falling in love with him. As much as I admire him as one of the few voices of reason in this world who's really trying to tell people the truth and respects common people physically he will never be my type. Sorry :)
Chomsky is a genius. He's virtually always correct on almost every issue. In a world full of cowards and liars he stands out as a refreshing voice of reason

The only thing I agree with Chomsky is from his book "Media Control, The Spectacular achievements of Propaganda". This was Obama's bible during the election.
There are the specialized class who tell us what is important. We are the "bewildered herd" who takes all this in. You have to whip up the "bewildered herd". Right now, the AIG bonuses are the things that are whipping us up.
Also, the specialized class must come up with a slogan that no one can be against. Obama used the slogan "Hope and Change" without ever defining those terms. Who can be against "Hope and Change"?
Obama was a student of Saul Alinsky and Noam Chomsky. I have to give Obama credit because during the elections he proved these guys were dead on.

Uh, yeah, I'm so surprised. It's obvious Obama is not and never can be that much of a "change" because people would have never voted for him otherwise. There are multiple examples of this in social movements throughout history; many progressive leaders were nonetheless still conservative in many ways, e.g., many white women pushing for the vote still relied on racist rhetoric and couldn't allow black women to march with them because it was still too socially controversial. Hmm, let's see what powers we have limiting Obama ... (1) the lobby of the wealthy; (2) massive multinational corporations; (3) about a zillion wingnut conservative rabid-capitalist lobbies. If Obama tries to change too much, there're loony-bin conservatives right on his heels, ready to pitch a b.i.tch about anything that might limit their ability to generally bilk and screw over the population.
Obama is, however, considerably different than Repugs on social issues, and that is also important.

I don't like him any more than I used to but that is simply because I don't think it is possible to like him more. He is absolutely brilliant. These are the people that should be running our government; intellectuals. Not politicians.

Noam Chomsky is a miserable, deluded, left-wing nutcase. He thinks the United States is the cause of all the world's problems, and is a shameless apologist for every leftist dictator in the world. He sees evil where there is good, and good where there is evil. His professorial demeanor causes the gullible to swallow his propaganda, and they become infected with the worst and most insufferable kind of ignorance--that which mistakes itself for extreme intelligence.

chomsky is an Anti-American vile jewish communist. Of course he's complaining, hissing, pissing, and whining. He wouldn't be happy until America is just like Cuba or North Korea.
Fortunately, this thoroughly discredited worthless vile pile of filth will be dead soon.

Better? No.
I like him the same.
