Both Obama and Romney are corporate tools, but the bigger truth is that Obama's nothing but a politician at a time when we need real leadership. And I mean 'politician' in the worst sense of the word. In the 'used car salesman' sense. It turns out that doing what's right for transnational corporations is what Obama is about, and trying to sell it as good for Americans is what he does afterwards.

So with a Democrat in the White House or without one, We The People keep getting screwed. What's it going to take to get you "organized", demanding a Democrat out of the Democratic president?
