13. Obama was a good guy...
Any politician who included "restore Habeas Corpus" in his Blueprint for America--was a candidate
who knew that our democracy was in trouble and wanted to change it.

Whatever has its talons around our country, is bigger than the Presidency.

I believe Obama is totally powerless to render any meaningful change. He wasn't even supposed to win.
Hillary was their inevitable one on the left and McCain was their boy on the right. Obama surprised
them and won Iowa and Hillary surprised them and came in third in Iowa.

I'm sure Obama has been told---Go too far and we'll destroy you. Does anyone actually believe that
the stock marketing tanking on the day that Obama announced tougher regs on banks--is really a coincidence?
These people can move markets and give a nod to their financial talking heads--who will ask a thousand
times a day, "Is Obama going to far with his liberal regulations on banks and how will his destruction of
the economy affect the middle class?"

Oh please. It's over. Either Obama wont' run, because he won't want to be a part of it--or he'll acquiesce and
do their bidding. Either way, we lose. It's so over. Anyone who doesn't see this need a big ol bowl of reality.
