Genie....As my friend Bobert has already noted, there is no sign of even the toenail clippings of a progressive polititian in Mr Obama's administration.

With the financial edifices crumbling around us and the spectre of the worst depression in living memory looming over us,I will repeat what I said months ago.
"The US doesn't need a mealy mouthed Harvard lawyer as leader.....they need a "rabble rouser" to unite the people who will bear the brunt of the crimes committed by previous administrations, both Republican and Democrat....Fuck the politicians, they were instrumental in creating this corrupt mess. Its patently obvious who our real enemies are, so let the people unite against them....not fight and argue amongst themselves.

Over here in Scotland we have a saying in the old Scots tongue, "Ye need smeddum tae be richt coorse....or richt kind"

"smeddum" is bravery, guts, the ability to be inspired to go on, when the obstacles seem insurmountable....spirited.
The American people at this juncture need smeddum to rid themselves of the parasites who have preyed on them for decades and made their country a pariah to the rest of the world.....Ake
