re: Cornel West sums up my feelings about Obama

Here is the thing with the Presidency, no matter who is in charge. The past couple decades have seen a large growth in Corporations and less and less small business.

Corporations have the ability to influence politicians. They control the politics...that's why an uber liberal President will move to the right, and an uber conservative will move to the left. Both end up in the middle embedded in crony capitalism. This is what keeps those in poverty from never moving up...the American dream is dead to them so we end up providing welfare.

It won't be fixed until the system crashes.
