Dawning the mask of faux populism Obama would have us all believe that he feels our pain and recognizes the hardships of the average person. He would have us believe that his "new, better" jobs action will actually create jobs. A slight snub to the supreme court for the recent ruling allowing for the outright buying of elections, which is already happening anyway. A token mention of greed and rewarding failure while he himself rewards failure. Pretty talk with no substance or direction.
