Shameful that Obama has rather than condemn them, used them more and more of them for more things. One has to conclude he doesn't just have bad advisors and somehow surrounded himself with Bushees in other clothing [of the Emperor's New Clothes variety], but is himself just another, if more intelligent and articulate, one of the puppets for the Oligarchy. Have we had change? Patriot Act repealed? Homeland Security scaled-down? Banksters thrown in jail and crooked Finance controlled? Etc. Some rhetorical flourishes and some new icing on the 'let them eat cake'.
Peter, you already put it perfectly when you said the Republicans and Democrats play good cop/bad cop with us.
Anyone who still believes in Obama is seriously deluded.
