23. It's hard to know if the comment about Obama and Zelaya

was "cover" to keep his "Change You Can Believe In" going....or was the truth that he and Hillary and the rest of Dem Establishment were always on the same page with foreign policy but pretending differences. It was a shift on Social Issues important to Dems that was the "Change" but the Foreign Policy/Wall Street Business view is pretty much the same for both Dems and Republicans. And, it's now finally being revealed that we will be living through "endless war" as the 1% grow wealthier and the rest live with "endless austerity." The next President inherits both. Great Timing...isn't it. Start a new war at the end of your second term and let someone else sort it out.

We don't have a slate of candidates ready to take the till of the ship because when they get to DC they are captured. I had high hopes for Sherrod Brown, & Sheldon Whitehouse, But, I could see the light go out of them in frustration watching them on C-Span after both of them were newly elected where they tried to ask the important questions and push bills to help move forward issues that Dems used to care about but they never could get the visibility from the "Old Guard" who kept tight reign on them. Even Al Franken has become subdued and we no longer have Dennis Kucinich who tried to be a conscience for the House and was a thorn in sides of the hypocrites.
