"We need a law to stop candidates needing ALOT of money to stand for office in the first place." That is exactly the way I read events. Obama received big BIG $ from corporations for his first election, and getting much less now. Obama says exactly the right words, speaks from his heart, means to be a good president, but the forces against him are way too high, our government is now an aoligarchy and will not change until and unless the people demand change. As long as there are people who believe the lies and distortions, they continue to live in denial and delude themselves. 
I wonder where Obama's economic principles lay, after all he did pump more money into rescuing the banks instead of the homeowner or students with debts. After coming into office Obama codified into law things that were counter to his rhetoric. Was it because he agreed with what he signed? or was forced to sign? or was confused? You decide:

Obama enabled a “Foreclosure Crisis that is actually the biggest transfer of wealth in the history of mankind.  It has been planned by insiders for decades, and NO insiders have been prosecuted.”

Obama to sign indefinite detention bill into law.

Obama “embraced deficit hawkery.”

Obama authorized killing Ben Laden

Obama authorized drone attacks on Afghanistan & Pakistan ... “193 drone strikes in Pakistan since 2009”.

Obama authorized support for Syrian rebels to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his government.

Obama enables USA to become a “surveillance state, with not only government agencies but private data miners watching and recording our lives.”

The Costs of Capitalism's Crisis: Who Will Pay?

"Austerity?" "Fiscally conservative?" both imply the people who will pay are those who produced the goods and services, not the banks and corporations that created the crisis. Sound familiar? Does it sound fair? How much more austere can you be? 

The outrage heard around the world:

I think Obama cannot punish or regulate the banks because they have bought the government. His hands are tied. It is too big of a can of worms to open let alone having to fight Republicans or politians with a buisness interest every inch of the way. It is the public who has to pissed off enough to empower the president to take command of banks@corporations. They are too greedy to stop or curtail. I think they will kill the golden goose or take us over. It will be one or the other. I wonder if it was big money that backed Obama on the understanding he never would. Yet it's the only way to get into office. That it is now the norm for any president is worrisome We need a law to stop candidates needing ALOT of money to stand for office in the first place.

Cripes-to the animals on earth we the humans ARE the bleeding aliens !!

Comment by michele ricketts on October 28, 2012 at 8:52pm

Yes- that " a disturbing thought" regarding just the 1% difference in genes makes ALL the difference.So aliens don't need to have a vastly different Dna fromnus to be super-duper.
I have another disturbing thought and it sounds atheist in nature ( if other life forms are our new " gods".) And that is there is indeed life sprinkled like mushroom spores all over the universe but no matter how smart it becomes no life-form WILL EVER EVER able to travel across the massive distances involved.
( so maybe we will only get signals sent thousands of thousands of years ago just as much of the starlight we see has been travelling for 100s of thousands of years + and is no more than a dead star now...

Florence Jenkins massacres Mozart

I can't figure out if laughing or crying is the best remedy for Jenkins and politics.  

Thanks Chris Breman, I'm sharing.

Stiglitz: "Shocking" how Obama, Romney are avoiding housing crisis ...

Because of these and other financial reasons, I did not vote for Obama. He does not want to offend banks, and lets homeowners and their families suffer. Foreclosures that should not have happened results in gross offenses and no one has been prosecuted.
