1. #1    "....change the rules of the game. Ban big business from making political donations, and replace it with state funding. Shut down the lobbying industry. Make a big populist speech announcing you are driving the money-lenders out of the temple of democracy: it'd be surprisingly popular in a country where people can see they're being ripped off every day"
   Add that to the list of things Obama SHOULD do.
   As opposed to the things that he CAN do.

2. #2    Cause Obama never intended to make any progress. Simple as that.

3. #3    Excuse me! But what does "rape and slavery" have to do with: 1) a prez that is not doing his job; and 2) a Congress that is not doing theirs. I would think that the very people that were going to rape you, and you knew they were rapists, that you would bring them into your home and make them a part of your family so that could have free rein over your wife and children.
   
   So why are we making these stupid excuses for criminals and their corporate machines? Oh, I see, they are supposed to be separate. Everyone is separate and know one knows they are being used and abused, or are the users and abusers? Kind of like spouse abuse, huh? The wife knows but doesn't want to talk.
   
   It is also like conspirators that knows about the conspiracy but doesn't want to talk.

Certainly, no such universal power was meant to be given them.

   And that should take care of making any excuses for the Congress...

5. #5    Two Words: Hughey Long! Without the power of grassroots populism which significantly threatens the status quo and causes movement for change, we will have nothing more than Obambush until 2012 and then worse. And with permanent unemployment of at least 10.2% on AVERAGE and much higher in certain geographic regions you might think workers would have a chance by uniting. However, this time no Hughey Long or populism with influence will or can emerge. With globalization and foreign labor certification and training, it is an ugly illusion to think workers have any power at all; six workers for every one opening and yet the H-B1, H-B2, H-B2A, L-2 ad infinitum over the past 20 years has succes...
