Reply #40: Remember the Gordian Knot [View All]

How exactly is he going to reach across and work with Rush Limbaugh and Peabody Award Winning Commentator Bill O'Really? ? As a former CEO I can tell you that CEOs are doing their job by explointing every advantage for their shareholders. They will only change their business strategy when a new reality either in the market or by regulation forces them down that path. Think about it can you really expect corporate America to give up power voluntarily. The fault of giving a blank check to corporate America lies in the government that sells itself for pennies on the dollars.

We get the weak wishy washy government we want. If we choose Obama over Edwards we are saying to corporate America change if you want to, we aren't going to force you.

We are the only developed country that withholds essential medical care from its citizens based on their ability to pay. We are the only developed country that allows its corporate entities to basically bribe in a legal fashion its legislators. Hope is not going to undo this Gordian Knot, which was finally undone not by the many who tried to unravel it but by Alexander who took his sword and cut thru it.

If your supporting Obama you want a feel good solution to a problem that requires brass knuckles. We don't need a comforter or a hope monger we need Bobby Kennedy.

Remember Eisenhower's final warning as president that our greatest danger was the military industrial complex. That was because he closely viewed how corporate greed outmanouvered the military. He simply didn't have a chance to see this complex grow to insurance, pharmaceuticals and big agriculture.

Just remember how they carved up Jimmy Carter and you will know why we need a smart quick-witted, no-holds-barred trial lawyer.
