But only because I didn't have a choice and the only consistent outcome of the election would have been that one corporatist or another would have gained power.

No, I'm not saying that Obama is bad or is going to do a bad job, but I was never thrilled about the choices we were presented. So none of this kind of thing is at all surprising. I just hope that, on balance, his administration maximizes the good and at least makes it less obvious than before that this is really the United Corporations of America.
