4. Obama

I assume they are including Obama in the "One ruling party". I also assume Hillary Clinton is in it. It makes one cynical to realize that mainstream Democrats really don't offer us much change. And yet, people go gaga over both of them in this forum. I think Obama is a nice guy and maybe he really thought he could make big changes in the country but he didn't go after the corruption on Wall St. and his signature health care program came from Mitt Romney. If he had gone after a few of the corrupt financial heads at the big banking firms and if he had at least allowed the single-payer option to be debated I wouldn't feel so cynical. Perhaps Cenk is right.
