(84,711 posts)than those of us following the "trials and tribulations" of the Clintons, (and those before them..that helped bring them to power) who live in fear that eventually there might be an American Awakening.
As, those of us who've been around awhile...following this stuff for years,...and the honest reporters (not the Fox News Crew & Neocon supporters) who tried to expose what was going on to the American People...but were always discredited, and in many cases, driven out of their jobs, for doing investigative reporting have sadly learned..the "Media, Industrial, Corporate & Military Contingent" has the power.
And, that power has only grown in strength through two terms of Reagan I & II, Poppy Bush I, Clinton I & II, followed Bush I & II (stolen election) and then followed by Obama, I & II, (the clean up act), who had a mighty job ahead of him when he promised "Hope and Change." But, the system was sadly so corrupted by 2008 that it was obvious that two terms of Obama couldn't even hope to change much. Obama did manage to do some positive things....but, could never address the fundamental rot at the heart of the system because it is more powerful than the President, at this point.
