Tuesday, December 22, 2009, 10:59AM ET - U.S. Markets close in 5 hours and 1 minute.
Here's a sample of what the famed consumer advocate and former Green Party presidential candidate says of Obama in the accompanying video:
Nader's main gripe is that Obama has "turned his back on the very people" who voted him into office, imploring the President to invite representatives of consumer, environmental and worker groups to the White House -- "as they elbow their way between the hordes of corporate execs, speculators and criminals that have received invitations there."
Notably, the accompanying interview was conducted prior to reports that Obama has backed away from a campaign promise (threat?) to raise taxes on corporations overseas profits.
Gee, I wonder what Nader would have to say about that...
In all seriousness, if Nader's views of Obama are shared by other progressives and "lefties," his warnings about the Democrats being the minority after the 2010 mid-term elections may very well come to fruition.100% agree you tell em Ralphie!
He is doing exactly what his International Banker masters expected when they made him president.Just like you Ralph!

I'm upside-down on my $8k first-time home purchase. Upside-down on my clunker stimulus car I bought. I've since been laid-off and can't afford my house or car payments. My house and care are both worth way less than I paid. My only option appears to be bankruptcy! Am I Screwed, or is their a way out of this mess?
I am one of the lefties who voted him in office (and donated hundreds to his campaign). I am furious at Obama's support of the financial oligarchy and recently dropped my democratic party registration. I will never vote for the lesser of two evils again.
Ahhh! A breath of fresh air from good ole` Ralph! An Honorable and Trustworthy Man. Ralph Nader and Ron Paul are the voices of the common people.
100% agree with Nader. I voted for Obama, if he doesn't passes health care bill for 45 million american without insurance and doesn't brings a change for the common people, I will not vote for dems in 2010. BTW, that doesn't mean I will vote for ignorant GOP. Obama is portraying himself as a weak preseident and I won't vote period.
All income tax is paid to the owners of the Federal Reserve. Not one penny is paid back to the taxpayer in a government provided good or service. The "peace price" is Obama's reward for further indebting the nation to the bankers.
Just exactly what we need to throw in the mix for Obama. Now he has another complaint from the left wind progressive anti-business side too! Well, maybe someone should of told Obama that being President is not just making speeches. You actually have to take a position and not switch it or alternate it based on who saids what. Also, you have to accomplish something too! Oh well! He learning on the job I guess!

Our guvermint is going to hell in a hand baskit. Our polatishinss are as crookid as a barrell of snayks- with out the barrell!! Allso how did Prezident Obamma win a piece prize the day we bommed the moon??
what we need is jobs not bailing out banks month after month people that dont have jobs just get on welfare because there aint no jobs then the state takes a big hit when thousands of people turn to welfare because tax payers have to fork the bill. thats why obama keeps saying women go back to school get your degree because companys would rather hire someone sexy and hot over a man anyday. if you think im full of it just look at the goverment level more women in the u.s have jobs than men whats that tell you sad sad sad and you wonder why men cant get a job da.
Ralph Nader is a senile, angry loser. I used to respect him, until he gave us Bush.
To the dude who is upside down. It seems like greed got the better of you. Regarding the Nobel prize, Obama should not have accepted it, it is a conflict of interest and the Organizers are seeking a payback. No sitting president in his right mind would have accepted it. Show you how immature Obozo is.
Obama watched a college football game last night. This morning he was awarded the Heisman Trophy.
Nader is another Liberal loon. It's funny when a out of control liberal president is being criticized by another liberal. I noticed he did not criticize Obama for increasing the national debt and bailing out everyone but the taxpayer! no he is criticising him for not doing enough to help the stupid consumers. So I guess if Nader were inthe white house we would have even higher taxes than Obama!?! WTF! -THE CONSERVATIVE RESISTANCE "growing stronger every day"
