Its not just George, absolutely not. I agree wholeheartedly. He is the yes man of a group of very wealthy industrialists and has no choice but to do their bidding. If he didn't, he would not be president. My observation is that he goes along with it though. Drunk with power maybe...who knows, but he goes along.
Wouldn't matter if it was Clinton, Bush, or someone else. You do not get elected unless the industrialists allow it.
