At the end of an article about how the recession is affecting businesses in Berkeley, comes this very pertinent question:
Why is President Obama going along with all these Wall Street bailout fiascoes? Want to know my own personal theory? The guy is either the Hamlet of the 21st century -- or else its Dr. Faustus.
Is Obama like Hamlet, unable to step up to the plate and act in the face of obvious injustice? Or is he more like Dr. Faustus, having made a deal with the devil in order to get elected and then discovering too late that he doesn't particularly like having his soul owned by Mephistopheles -- but knowing that in order to get out of his contract with America's economic mafia, he would probably be dooming himself to becoming the next JFK.
