Read Potter's book.
In many ways he's as nigh-eve as Anne Frank ("Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart."). Or Elizabeth Warren, who thinks Obama made her his "special adviser" to make an effective CPA.
You don't get to be an executive in an insurance corporation (or "a special adviser" to the president) without having signed on to the 'Establishment' perspective. Or really, swallowing it hook, line and sinker.
These are particular personality types that have chased after the brass ring, believe that it's possible to succeed AND do good. Their entire egos' intactness require them holding on to that belief, and that Obama is the good and kind king. They haven't figured out how to question it, how to doubt it, how to come to realize that the system they've dedicated their entire lives to is corrupt to the core without losing their sense of self.
Potter is operating on the notion that it can be saved. That since it's a fait accompli, you work within the system, you nip and tuck it to get what you want or need.
The problem with that is that the same powerful forces that prevented it from being what was necessary in the first place are now more powerful (between the massive influx of money from mandates, Citizens United is buying them more and more poIiticians, more Iobbyists like you billy), they are 12 steps ahead of those who are trying to nip and tuck.
People like Potter (an 'establishment eIitist', in spite of his whistleblowing status) can afford to think "nipping and tucking" is the solution. They can afford to take the chance, wait it out. I guarantee ya that Potter's got GREAT insurance.
