Will the people who have all the money and all the power let Obama be elected?
I want him for our next President very badly. Between the prejudice, the greed from the corporations, and the attitudes of some people in this country I'm afraid we could end up with McSame as the next President. That is one scary thought. I really hope I'm wrong.

3. you start with a false premise. There are people with much money/power who DO want Obama elected

you make the mistake of assuming that the very wealthy and powerful are a singular monolith that controls absolutely everything.

4. The power brokers messed up years ago.
They saw the internet only in terms of a new marketing tool.

They didn't realize what it meant when you gave every single human being the ability to own the equivalent of a printing press.

6. I'm nervous too.... I think people will take to the streets
Then Bush will declare Marshal law . God I don't even liked posting this, but we are getting closer every day and Bush is getting more belligerent. Proof is in the bold faced lie he told about the Saudis releasing oil.

8. mr pig 'needs' change with the quality of his dope...
mainly, mr pig needs plenty of slop, to wallow in. Death, cruelty, despair, bloodshed. But too much good thing sometimes see the slop run over onto the sty itself: the French Riviera, Malibu and the gated communities of lovely America/Europe etc....junyer has done much too well, tapeworm-wise, sukking life out of the Golden Goose, with the pig rolling over the monstrous losses (from theft and fraud etc) into the base value currency/GNP. Keeping junyer's economy booming required the subprime nonsense, and the Plunge Protection Team hasn't featured a legit businessman since '03, even greedspan finally fled like a liar from truth serum- they, the fill in PPT members aka the Filthy Few have spent about $? trillion just subsidising the stock market, nudge wink, with the devaluation of the national wealth hidden in 40 cent overvalued dollar, 1500 an ounce gold, worthless real estate and warehouses full of 100 dollar bills (the Busheviks fly planeloads of 'capital' around like the Cali cartel flies drugs)...
What is absolutely delightful about modern day piggery is the sheer hopelesness of the situ in respect that the pig must/will buy time until junyer's gone, then the truth will emerge. BY May 18/09, next year at this time, the first hint at the totality of the destruction of global wealth management, of CAPITALISM, will be starting to impact the dupes who elected junyer bush, the same dupes who put into power the ted bundy like psycho, a petty thief who watched snuff films for xxxual excitement! And that was 8 YEARS after the democratic party had rescued the economy after 12 years of regan/oldbush! And regan was put in power ONLY 6 YEARS after nixon was fired for 'crimes and misdemeanors'! And gay marriage has become a non issue anyway (though regan and bush1 and 0 used the gay issue to get power in 1st place!)
Enjoy the ride, Ma and Pa Uptight,you deserve it....sheeese
maybe an honourable man like Barack Obama can resue mr pig? (and the rest of us too)
