August 10, 2007 at 11:33 AM #72790AnonymousGuestIn my jaded view, I’d say that the president is just a puppet for the corporations that funded his campaign. Same goes for most of the senate as well. Even those who aren’t out and out puppets still have to makes sure they don’t step on their financier’s toes too much w/regard to the laws they write/pass.

Drunkle, well, that is a little too simplistic and primarily inaccurate statement.
Andy, I have to say that the majority of time I share your view, but that isn’twasn’t the context my dialogue with Alex.For the sake of simplicity:
