Forgot to respond to this...

I'm surprised that you are sticking with Obama Carol...what do you expect him to do? Most of the really nasty stuff is well out of his control.

I like Kucinich myself but he simply hasen't the charisma to do the job and looking from here, he could no more crack "Middle America" than Obama has done.....Its got to be the heart first, head second.

As we used to say   "Up here for thinkin' doon there for dancin'"


I'm not sticking with him. I was never totally with him in the first place. I'm just willing to give him more time before I form an opinion about his presidency. The fact is, there is no-one who can do what you are saying needs to be done, regardless of how much charisma they have, as long as our media is owned and controlled by the corporatocracy.   It's just not going to happen. They control how the vast majority of people in this country think and view reality, and until they lose the power to do this, nothing substantial is going to change.
