1. I'm a strict Keynesian. I went to business school, and have no problem oppressing the poor in regards to my career, but at some point my employer still needs customers. Without a middle class, we'll be out of business. Obama is the best bet for at least slowing down the eradication of the middle class.

The difference is subtle, but I think they do. Democratic favors egalitarianism whereas Republican favors leadership. So, one represents the lower class while the other represents the upper class.
The Democratic Party is somewhat accurately named, since its origins are based in Andrew Jackson's successful mission to overturn Jefferson's vision of a government led by an elite of character and intellect. He extended equal voting rights to every dumb hillbilly regardless of education, wealth, or status (unless they are non-white or female, of course). A better name might be the Populism Party, the Pandering Party or the Mob Rule Party, but these are all synonyms with their chosen name.
The Republican Party was formed around a single issue and might as well have been called the Abolitionist Party, however I don't think this would have made much sense in the long run and their choice was probably better.

They don't in Britain either.....inflicting radical neoliberalism on a population isn't really a very "Conservative" thing to do

After Obama won, he appointed neo-liberals and moderates to the DOJ, who were then directed to forgive crimes of torture and false imprisonment. He did almost nothing to fight for a public healthcare option. The wars on drugs and independent countries have been continued and expanded. Laws expanding surveillance on the public were expanded. Enormous amounts of money have been dumped into fatherland security for useless security tools. Corporate control over environmental protection regulation continued unabated - the state to the west of me is a wasteland, and uranium mines will be opening soon in my state (the EPA has the full power to deny these permits). The list goes on-and-on.
I guess what really burns me about the man is his complete lack of moral principle and backbone - for someone from his family, intellectual, and religious background.
He simply should know better and do better by his background, by God, and by human decency. A better man would have demanded a public option every day for the responsibility of being thy brother's keeper, and called out opponents on their inhuman selfishness. A better man would have said that torture is an abomination and directed the DOJ to prosecute suspects with their full might. A better man would have said that the mother earth is the only one the species will ever have, and that all new developments should proceed with utmost caution and sensitivity. Nothing he has said or done since election has had any fervent meaning to the people, for better or for worse. Someone once wrote that Obama radicalized all of LF - they'd be right by me.
