8. it is reality, and it also highlights how powerless a President like Obama can be

how does anyone who isnt part of that club fight such influence and wealth? I submit that it is almost impossible. Consider also that along with the war profiteering and all, Bush 43 also stole two American elections. And literally half the country doesnt care. Thats power.

read it. Digest it. Consider how far into our government these tendrils reach. I personally dont believe President Obama is part of this, which is why his detractors and opponents go to such lengths and insanity to discredit and stop every effort he makes.

which means that any progress he can make, is quite a victory.
