4. The sheer brazenness of their behavior shows they feel no

need to even pretend they care about the people anymore.

The coup is complete, I guess.

If Obama wants to win reelection, it is not the people he has to worry about, the election will be about which candidate of either party Big Business approves of. And then they'll fix it so s/he wins.

5. Is Feingold outraged enough to run against Obama yet?

That's the only question that matters.
