“Will Vice President Biden listen to real Americans on his blue ribbon commission on the middle class? I doubt it. I suspect he’ll prop up a couple of Lou Dobbs-approved families and show some moderate understanding of their plights to hang onto the big suburban house and the big suburban lifestyle. And will President Obama check back in with a suffering family or two and find out if anything remotely related to the TARP funds or the stimulus bill helped save them from eviction or foreclosure or bankruptcy or the collection calls that harass — and stress that never abates when the mail comes and yet another creditor is getting threatening? I doubt that too” – Smith (community organizer for the California Nurses Association)
