This Recession Isn't Over: Now for the Hard Part

Yes, our system desperately needs a third party and run off voting, plus real, not make believe - feel good campaign reform, since our representatives are bought and handsomely paid for. What real change are we seeing from Mr. Obama. Nada. We have traded Iraq for Afghanistan and when needed, we have plenty of off the record mercenaries (Blackwater, et al) to help us out in both places. While corporations win big time, the middle class is the biggest loser. Congratulations, we have gotten what the framers of the constitution glimpsed...a corporatocracy the likes of which has never been seen before. If American in Paris thinks Government Statistics are solid, and that American Media is not bought and paid for, wow, I find that kind of denial unbelievable and deeply troubling.
