Sorry posted this on another thread by mistake..A

I agree with Carol and Freda, if Mr Obama was a Socialist, or anything resembling a Socialist, his candidature would never have been endorsed by the Democrats. Just look at how the semi-Socialists like Mr Nader or Mr Kuninich are discriminated against in this wonderful "democracy"

Mr Obama will have been well vetted before his adoption as Dem presidential candidate to ensure that he won't rock the corporate boat.
The fact that he is "black" and talks in euphemisms were handy tools to fool the American public into thinking that he represents "change"

Neither of our countries will achieve change without the participation of the ordinary people directly ....call it a "popular movement" call it "revolution"...it does not matter, but the enforced nationalising of the banking system has crossed a very important bridge for the left.
If ever we had the chance to take our future into our own hands this is the time.
If only Mrs Palin's energy and conviction could be harnessed to left wing ideals, we would be on a rollercoaster ride to to change, independence and the real freedom that we all want.

One thing is certain, from the hands of an intellectual, mealy mouthed,corporate lawyer, change will never be delivered....Ake
