HOW PROGRESSIVES CAN MOVE OBAMA TO THE LEFT

One reader's comment at the end contains an Edward R. Murrow quote that so aptly fits things these days: A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.

Although he relates the truth about the Washington mindset versus that of the rest of our country, I doubt Uygur's conclusions that we can change it in the way he proposes, because he ignores the fact of who is really in control, and it isn't Obama. I'm in the midst of reading Family of Secrets: The Bush Dynasty, the Powerful Forces that Put It in the White House, and What Their Influence Means for America by Russ Baker. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning how our country (and the world) is really run...and by whom. Anyone who bucks the commands of the "elites" will probably suffer the same fate as the Kennedys and Martin Luther King. Obama has no doubt been made aware of that, as have all past presidents. The Bush presidents were chosen for us by the elites (despite the will of the people in 2000); the Bushes are part of the ruling system, which is why we had to endure Dubya, a nogoodnik idiot, and his handlers, Dr. Evil Cheney and Igor Rove. If you would like to learn some of the secrets of the ruling class, read Baker's well-researched book. No fly-by-nighter, Baker is an investigative journalist of excellent reputation who has been conducting his investigation for many years--and he has come up with gold: people who had kept quiet about things they knew are now coming out of the woodwork to tell the truth. This is a Must-Read for anyone with curiosity about why things stay the same in our government, no matter who is president.
