Would that include the corporate pirates of Wall Street? From Dr Wu's, "Your Pirates and Mine": .....We asked the young Somalian why does he pirate? He answers, "That's where the money is!" We ask the young Wall Street executive why does he sell toxic commodities and pass them off as AAA? He answers, "That's where the money is!"

All of our priorities are wrong but this did not begin with Obama. It's been going on for a long time now. But just like his predecessors and beyond a few cosmetic differences, Obama will basically stay on the same course, a course that has been generally inimical to most of our own best interests. We have no real say in these matters. The majority of the politicians regardless of affiliation work for a few thousand people, not us. We don't even choose our candidates. They are chosen for us by those who are willing to throw the most money at either and/or both parties. Thus if a candidate is not pro corporation(meaning he accepts no corporate campaign finance) he is never brought to the forefront in an election. Usually he is marginalized by his own party and the corporate owned media. This is why for example candidates like Ralph Nader, Dennis Kucinich or Ron Paul will never become president. They don't accept corporate campaign finance so they can't be bought. When it comes to corporate campaign finance the republicans and the democrats are two sides to the same coin. But people remain complacent and continue to the play the game that has been invented for us thinking any one guy or one party is the answer to solving our problems. The truth is only people collectively can demand change or keep the few good things we have left. But it will go on and on, the pointing of fingers between democrats and republicans and we the suckers will stay in line like the good sheep we are.
