Obama Calls Political System Broken
<AMES, Iowa -- Presidential hopeful Barack Obama is criss-crossing the state with a message for all Iowans.>

<...Obama did not hold back in his criticism of the political system.

He called it a broken system saying politics have made it difficult to find solutions to the country's challenges.

"It's not designed to solve problems. It's designed to keep people in power and so people understandably have given up on the process," Obama said.>

<..."He seems like a very electrifying candidate. He speaks intelligently and to the point. He doesn't seem like he beats around the bush.

He seems like he lies the least of any of the candidates when he's speaking, so I like that," said supporter Eric Putnam, of Fort Dodge.>
