After three years in which his administration coddled corporate lobbyists, he has finally begun to emphasize the need for the rich to pay more taxes. This has come late in his term, and he might well continue to favor the rich and Wall Street in exchange for campaign contributions in 2012, but there is a glimmer of hope that Obama will defend a fairer budget policy.
此外，美国总统奥巴马的立场也逐渐左倾。在关照了企业国会游说者整整三年之后，他最终开始强调富人多交税的必要性。由于任期将尽，他可能会继续倾向富人和华尔街去换取2012年连任的竞选经费。但这也有意味着一线希望，或许奥巴马会维护一个更公平的预算政策。
