I've often had this thought ever since Clinton got in office and then started pushing the free trade and taking the restraints off of wall street and banks. Getting things done that no republican could against a democrat congress/senate. Then Obama comes on stage with noble promises, but then right away brings in corporate america into his administration; pushes romney care instead of single payer; starts putting safety nets on the chopping block. Again, things that no republican would dare do. Good cop, bad cop.
