But that is against the rules of the present system...systemic change is required

We will not get past this, Mr Obama is a token, perhaps unwittingly, perhaps not
The facts are, that we can no longer sustain ourselves, this system works well, so long as there are resources to steal and people to exploit, but the resources are running out and the people want the lifestyle they have been promised....and given a little taste of to boost consumerism.

Its over....get used to it, and the old rules will no longer apply.
The system is moving its wealth away to greener fields, we either write off the future of our kids or start constructing a sustainable society.
