ParticipantSee my post on ‘interesting’ thread. Honestly, I’m not that impressed with cabinet nominations, esp. Daschle and the tax-cheat Geithner. There were even problems with that Richardson guy, and he seemed like he was pretty capable. But I don’t know that I care that much at this point. What’s the moral? Nobody in D.C. is clean? It’s pathetic.
However, what stands out to me more right now is the degree of outrage being generated on the right. The amplitude is just fake. It’s having it’s intended effect though, which is to influence the press negatively, which undermines a new President, which hurts our ability to cope with some MAJOR problems. We’re facing unprecedented problems right now, we don’t need to be piling on — it’s not helpful.
Just some background, I used to be GOP. I can’t stand them anymore. They sold us out. I’m not an Obama-maniac. Libertarian and anti-repuglican. I like Ron Paul. It’s a measure of our times when fringers like Kucinich and Ron Paul sound sane (half the time). And Ron Paul has been on the spot with Greenspan and this banking crisis right from the start. Ron Paul should get a medal.
Look, I’ll be the first to admit if Obama’s a big failure. I don’t want him to be though. The magnitude of the shit we’re facing is enormous, and the GOP should leave it alone right now, pitch in to try and make things work.

That’s the F#@K’n problem that they are considered fringers. The systemic choices are not different on major policies. They only main difference between the two parties are the constituants.
In the corporate-crafted and money-dominated swamp that passes for “representative democracy” in the U.S., concentrated economic and imperial power open and close doors in ways that preemptively suffocate populist potential. Big money is not in the business of promoting genuine social justice or democracy activists
Understanding public policy as a mechanism for the upward distribution of wealth, it promotes empire and inequality by underwriting the smothering K Street culture and the revolving door that feeds it—not just lobbyists themselves but the entire interconnected world of campaign consultants, public relations agencies, pollsters, and media strategists—without whose favor and assistance serious presidential bids are next to unthinkable.

ParticipantI am starting to loathe Obama and the Democratic congress dearly, though not as much as I despite Bush.
