When I voted for Obama to give him a shot at being our senator here in Illinois, I had high hopes. He hasn’t served as our senator enough to get his chair warm — almost immediately he went on the presidential campaign trail.

There is no doubt he has the personality to rally the masses, but his proposals for defense, economy, and social issues have been mostly a matter of finding a parade and jumping in front of it.

People in general are so fed up with the mess dumped on us by Washington —” not just the Bush blunders, but those from Clinton and both the Republican and Democratic Congresses —” they are ready to follow the first person who can sound good even without a substantial track record.

Bush and Clinton are an easy pair to follow and LOOK good, but the next occupant of the White House is inheriting such a can of worms that it would take a master of D.C.‘s political culture to be able to force any kind of rescue to take place.

Once again we are faced with poor choices —” a military hero, (a one-string banjo) a novice (well packaged) or a clever, power loving clone —” the Clintonness.

for the past century the distribution of wealth in America has been characterized by a situation in which 1-2% of the population owns 60-70% of all the wealth in the country, with one eighth of the population (12.5%) owning 7/8s (87.5%) of all wealth.  This situation has held basically steady for 100 years.  See the Commission on Industrial Relations report to President Wilson in 1916, Ferdinand Lundberg’s America’s Sixty Families (1938) and The Rich And The Superrich (1967), C. Wright Mills, The Power Elite (1956), and Kevin Philllips, Wealth and Democracy (2002) for abundant factual confirmation of this statement.

These interests control the (so called) American economy, the (so called) American government, the (so called) American media, so called American education, and the rest.  Obama, Hillary, McCain, and all the rest represent these interests, and if they did not, you would never have heard of them.

We learn in recent days that Hillary loaned her campaign 5 million dollars.  The idea that someone in a position to loan their campaign 5 million dollars—or 30 million, as did Romney—has the faintest notion of the world that any but 1 per cent of Americans live in—it ludicrous nonsense.  But Americans, after 12 years of “education” and a lifetime of “free press” will believe any nonsehnse, no matter how stupid.

What’s a shame and a crime is pretending that it represents even merely constitutional government, let alone democracy or anything decent.

Lets face it Bush became President on the Florida scam he has more money than brains, so in the comments anout Hillary you might want to rethink that. As to Sen Hillary R. Clinton I see alot of men hating,  and yes women who have been conditioned to think that the only place for women is in the house not running this country. I find it funny these same being white men young and old who in their own areas talk about African Amercans like dogs but to their face kiss up not wanting the stigma of raciest, here these same men who think the Presidents chair should only be held by men are voting in the primaries for Obama so he defeats Clinton and in the general election they will either not show up or revert back and vote for Mccain. I find these type of people sick and repulsive.  Its sad to think in this country women have not come as far as one would think, I say move over you over stuffed men and lets put a woman in that Presidents chair, lets break this notion of the male only club in DC and in the rest of this country. Lets stand up and put a woman, Sen Hillary R. Clinton , don’t get mad cause she can do the job and help her country get mad at yourself for hating this woman for all the wrong reasons and woman in general.
