25. The problem isn't that Obama can't change the system alone—the problem is that
he's going right along with the system in too many instances.

I don't think anyone expects him to single-handedly "change" the system. But I expect him to fight the system when the system is fucked up.

That would mean NOT propping up the disaster of a banking system we've been operating under. It would mean pushing aggressively for a national single-payer healthcare system when the time is more ripe for it that it's ever been in our history, instead of continuing to let HMOs and Big Pharma shape the discussion. It would mean NOT looking the other way and refusing to prosecute fucking CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
