7. Nonsense. President Obama is the reason Obamacare & Dodd-Frank was pushed through Congress.

I am an Obama Mama and Woman For Bernie. About 70% of Barack's donors are exclusively Bernie's small donors now. President Obama is far from a friend of corporations. His Wall Street donations were down significantly in 2012 versus 2008 (they weren't that big to begin with, anyway, compared with true corporatist Hillary) because of the passing of Dodd-Frank and his Justice Department getting (and continuing to prosecute) historically high fines from Wall Street corruption cases.

My own state of NY has benefitted tremendously because of the Obama Justice Department's prosecuting Wall Street firms and various hedge fund owners yielded so many billions that a $3 billion state deficit turned into a $3 billion SURPLUS that has allowed for the fixing of infrastructure long delayed throughout the state and around NYC that had idled after Congressional Republicans shut off funding after the American people voted in a GOP House majority in 2010.
