41. How easily we are deceived

Wed Apr 24, 2013, 01:54 PM

While I too applauded the Departure the evil ones I realize that there is little substantive difference between either Corporatist administration. Bush and Obama are bought and paid for by corporate interests. Obama really fooled many Ito thinking he was any different from Bush. Most of Bush's policies have been kept or expanded by Obama. It's great theater when both sides act as if there is a great divide between Obama and GOP when in fact they work for a very small and powerful segment of the population. Nothing meaningful will change as long as there is no campaign finance reform. Meet the new boss ,same as the old boss. Obama disappoints.
