...it is not a pretty picture I see shaping up. Obama was handed a Nation in a horrible situation and he can't be blamed for that...but what he seems poised to do is [thus far] not going to change much for the better for the average person. But then neither major Party are parties of anything but the Corporations, Bankers, Financiers, Powerful, Rich and Greedy - even if one party more than the other. Time for real change - boycott both Parties forevermore....but I don't think America nor Americans have it in them at this point. Ergo, I fear we are doomed to a rather ugly downhill spiral into the dustbin of history. I'm very sad for my Nation and its likely fate - more so for the average person who will have no reserve upon which to survive the coming depression and upheaval.
By the way, in the interview on DN! two interesting points briefly made: 1] that GM had purchased the public transit system in LA [other car companies did the same in other cities] and tore-up the tracks; melted down the tram cars - in order to force people to buy their cars [and the oil companies behind them]. 2] GM developed a very likeable and environmentally friendly electric car until Bush came into office and then they were all recalled from lease and crushed. Two still exist in a museum. How many people know either fact - or the thousands similar? How can we learn the lessons of history when in America history is not spoken about - only propaganda and mythology?! The same is true of the financial crisis - it is not new - only the end game of the same-old game; but you'd never know it on the MSM.
