[QUOTE="804brown, post: 897770, member: 29553"] People like you enjoy blaming individuals or parties. You believe if people like Frank or Obama or Pelosi,etc are gone, all will be perfect. The problem is with systems of governance and power. It is the fact that we have the best government money can buy. We have a system that bends democracy to the whims of a rapacious economic system. Where the rich and powerful easily and legally buy our politicians at every level (city, state and federal) if they are not actually in control of policyt at some regulatory agency themselves; that is the famous revolving door of lobbyist/regulator. For years they lobby for an industry, then join an administration and ''regulate" that same industry and then maybe go back to lobbying for that same industry. You can continue to make fun of his teleprompter like a good little republican. That gets us nowhere. Criticizing the only grassroots response to our corporatocracy (the OWS) also gets us nowhere. Get off your computer and join one of these occupations. [/QUOTE]
