5. It would take a President with enormous speaking ability to rally
a grass roots groundswell to convince the bought and paid for Congress to even consider such an idea.

But (and heres where reality falls short of Hollywood) that President must believe wholeheartedly that the nation needs to end corporatism, and that his Presidency may become a single term in office as a result.

I really think that was the unspoken message the Obama campaign convinced people they were voting for, even if it was just an advertising campaign that ultimately was as meaningful as selling soap.
