GUEST,DV BS: Have you seen Obama's energy speech! (328* d) RE: BS: Have you seen Obama's energy speech! 05 Aug 08

And Obama pandering opens him to legitimate criticism from both the progressives and conservatives.

Why? Because the educated voter knows we are on the brink of a very serious reckoning regarding energy and the environment.

We are going to feel pain--a lot of pain, as a result of the US political institutions being in bed with corporations.

There is no changing that fact. There is no way to save us from ourselves.

I doubt I will vote at all for president now. I really was going to vot for Obama until last Friday. But this feels like 2000 to me. What is the point? Voting for either candidate just means I am willing to continue particpating in a corrupt political system.

I'm about to join with my cynical friends who believe that no meaningful change can happen until either the corrupt political system is fixed or collapses under it's own weight, and new political systems in North America rise to take the place of the current US political system.
