16. While all that is true
Obama cannot be seen to truly call a shot yet, or he risks evaporating all his political capital, before he is even pres. This was the aim of the right, when they question all his change mantle. With regards to his cabinet picks. They wanted him to get ludicrous john Bolton type partisan lefties. And then brand him an extremist. I'm afraid that legal action, and retroactive reactionary regulation, fueled by just the zeal you are showing,is our payday. Not a very grand one. But one, none the less. Working on Obama constantly with body blows, in support of publically financed campaigns. THAT, would be a great achievement. To battle against the winners that Paulson has chosen, that will be lifelong hard right republicans. Paulson will be sugar daddy, and Obama will be scrooge. This will become intolerable. Pub. Fin. Campaigns, AREEEEEEEEEEEEE the answer. And Obama is the best candidate to achieve this, of any candidate ever. Because of his Lobbyistless funding. We are screwed. This is true. But we have the capability to get screwed less than in any time in recent history. It will take work though. We need a movement. I am busy. Anyone, ANYONE!
