IMHO:

Any person who would be egotistical enough to want (and possess) the president’s job…would be a failure in the eyes of at least 50% of the people. It really wouldn’t make a rats ass who is president.

I don’t have an ounce of love for any politician. That includes Obama.

My interest lies in the systemic problems with our government and election process.

My guts cringe at the hold in virtually every aspect of our social existence that Corp/Government has over a subtaintial number of our population. We have a voting population that’s large in numbers and they wake up every day wondering whether to scratch their ass or wind their watch. They are political numb-nuts. Politicans gravitate to these folks, promise them the world, then boldly ask them to hand over their credit card to pay for their promiseds and these numb-nuts, in some kind of stupper, hand over the credit card…then find out later that they can’t even make the minimum payment.

No, were not oppressed or suppress as say Iran or China…YET. To be naive to believe the same authoritarian type government is impossible in the U.S. is, in my humble opinion, is a fatal belief.

Whether Republicans or Democrats hold us hostage with their respective poliicies and ever growing government, the outcome is always the same in the end…they take and we give. They contine to grow in power while ours (We The People) equally deminish.

• Our politicians are a wholly owned subsidiary of corporate America. They only have a reptilian self-interest. Politicians sold out cheap; they gave away the country for chump-change, and a future promise of a board of directors’ chair when they get thrown out of office.

• Obama raised the bar too high with the promise better government. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt but now he’s in the quicksand, so, he better deliver or go under.

Teddy Rooseveldt (a Republican!), slapped (metaphorically) J. P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller. His point was: no corporation is the equal or above the U.S interest. Teddy (for all your faults) where are you, now that we need you?

“Western democratic capitalism never foresaw that in a society governed passively by free markets and free elections, organized greed always defeats disorganized democracy.” Matt Taibbi – “The Great American Bubble Machine”

Now! Until we rid ourselves of this idea that “capitalism” is heaven sent, we will never rid ourselves of “corporate America”, which is basically the root cause of our problem. The line of $hit that Reagan fed us, which the majority fell for, has finally caught up with us.

Obama or any person, who is attempting to resurrect this “dead” nation has a tremendous task to accomplish. Far too many voices of division within the walls of the house. The “family” is not going to reach any goal until “unity” becomes our priority.

But having said the above…we are a nations of “give it to me now” junkies. We’ve lost our voice to others and have become dependent…and we are in denial to that fact. But, the facts remain that our apathy and ignorance holds us hostage against a vile, corrupt government who once claimed to be our servants. It’s the other way around.

Despite Obama’s aspirations…he doesn’t have the polticial strength to overcome a corporate run government…and nation.
