I am a teacher in Chicago. Obama has been involved with neoliberal economic/social policies here since 1994. He began his public career by assisting venture philanthropy (the Joyce Foundation) and Mayor Richard Daley and the Chicago Commercial Club (his original and most loyal booster) as they pursued a city plan to "gentrifiy" African American poor neighborhoods through destabilization, i.e., pushing them from their homes, closing schools and medical facilities, and curtailing public services. He knows exactly what he is doing and which side he is on. Arnie Duncan works for him, not the other way around. I'm not sure, however, who works for whom when it comes to Penny Pritzger, his choice for Secretary of Commerce.
Regardless, it really is time to stop with the "man of the people" hooey, especially when Abraham Lincoln's birthday rolls around.
