Reply #53: It may not be "your world" but rest assured, it is indeed our world

And it effects all of us, intimately, every single day. What, you think that this financial mess is solely of Bushboy's creation? Go back and look at Clinton's record on deregulation, especially in the financial sector. Go back and look at his participation in disaster capitalism in SE Asia. If you honestly don't see the government/corporate partnership known as corporatism, then you're either blind, a fool, or have some abiding stake in the status quo. Take your choice.

And as far as liberals having a seat at the table, well, we'll have to wait and see. But judging by the administration appointments, judging by the trial balloons being released, judging by this "sit down and shut up" memo, it's looking increasingly like the left is going to get shut out in the cold again. And frankly the only way to prevent that is to keep the heat on Obama. After all, isn't this a democracy, isn't that what a democracy is all about, making your desires about government heard by your elected representatives? Well, that's what the left is going to do, whether you, the Obama administration or anybody else likes it or not.
