Note to Andrew Leonard's thought: Count me as a cynic, based on Obama's previous actions, who see his non-appointment "appointment" of Elizabeth Warren to do "something" with the Consumer Finance Protection Agency as ultimately being a sidelining of her, an attempted sop to progressives (smart ones, like me, won't bite) and semi-progressives (who grudgingly, or stupidly, will bite), and that's typical of the man.
Also, note to Leonard's thought: WRONG on how much Obama "invested" in finance reform vs. what could really have been done.
Call this another hypocrisy alert.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
