Great summary Peter. Thanks.
And Barack Bush's "solution" proposed in the SOTU is insufficient. It's not enough to keep "foreign" corporations from buying candidates. We need to keep all corporations from buying candidates. We need nothing less than an amendment to the consitution IMO. Not the watered down faux remedy Barack is talking about.
No legislation will do - it could only be a band-aid on a gaping wound about to go gangrenous. I don't even think any legislation could shut-out foreign corporate money. They'd just get American subsidiaries, holding-companies or purchase majority shares in US corporations....or other means best known to the Criminal Class. Nope - Amendment to the Constitution ONLY. Problem is we have about the most apathetic lump of Sheeple at this point - more worried about their pocketbooks and survival [by design, this] than things political and unaware that the second controls the first. Obama is Bush Light in blackface, I'm sorry to say. He is such a disappointment and I held up little to no hope for him...and STILL find myself disappointed in him. May he awake and find his morality. I doubt it. Perhaps if the People lead, he'd follow...but we have no leaders among the People now. All assassinated or marginalized one way or another. Were King alive today we could turn things around fast. But they do shoot people like that and will do so next time, as well.......
