Dawn, we all have hope that Obama was doing a stealth internship to his masters - and he will, once in power, try to be his 'own man' and OUR President - but I think the chances of this scenario are slim and decreasing rapidly!...sorry....but let us have hope...
I think it is time to remember again (or realize, as the case may be) we had a coup d'etat on 11/22/63 - and no one has been brought to account. Since then we have had many further sub-coups or renew-coups [your call] and again, the real villians never brought to account. Add to that all the deaths, covert-ops, government overthrows, corporate malfeasance and theft of the Nation and World - unpunished, plus vote theft and manipulation - and anyone who really thinks a maverick 'good-guy' populist could ride in on a white horse?!? Pardon my cynicism - now turning to deep depression. The man is being handed on a silver platter a shattered Nation and World, 3 wars - I'll bet four by the 20th. America is bankrupt and the economic pain and reality has NOT YET EVEN been HINTED AT!....and he is still all smiles. I rest my case. Oh, one more thing....Obama is calling for cutting spending on entitlements and money for you and me - no cuts for intelligence, military, government, etc. [not to mention the bailouts for the ultra-rich and corporate masters - with more coming. For you and me tighten your belt and pre-purchase your funeral; plan how you'll survive homeless and jobless, no pension, healthcare, etc et al....] http://www.democracynow.org/2009/1/7/oba...icit_could
