Impassioned speaking is what has gotten your attention, however you refuse to listen. Again use your platform to offer solutions and not devisive right-winged hate.

Impassioned speaking wasn't what got my attention. It was the huge amounts of financier money going to an unknown candidate from the very beginning. That money, the media connections, and the political pull created the Obama "phenomenon." The "grass roots" perception came later. He wouldn't even have gotten close to the presidency without those three. But, it's really day one, so far he has a good score getting rid of Guantanamo prison.

I just wanted to revisit this post again. What do you think of Obama now? He bailed out Wall St. just like Bush did. He's sending more troops to Afganistan, Haliburton will make more money there. He can't come up with a decent health care plan. And, he's about to sign a treaty in Copenhagen that will give away our sovereignty to a supranational government. I don't know about you, but it's not a good score card.

You are well more informed than I am. I thought his grass roots internet campaign contribution program helped put him in the presidency. I also thought it was the vote of the people. Perhaps you are suggesting that the contributions he received from Wall Street and City of London helped by the votes he got. How in your opinion is he going to serve Wall Street?

[scuromano]

He would serve Wall St. (and, I hope he doesn't) by continued bail outs of speculative financial institutions, privatizing infrastructure, doing away with certain govenmental regulations. A good marker of what to do is what Franklin Roosevelt with the economy and putting on trial people like J.P. Morgan, the head of Goldman Sachs and others, then created regulations to curtail their speculative, monopolizing activity. Good historical reading: "Wall St. Under Oath" by Ferdinand Pecora.

Obama received 51% of the popular vote. It appears we have a great deal of people that are possessed. Your video is full of speculation and generalizations. As well it leans to the side of polarization. Use your skills and knowledge to effect positive change for all people.

[scuromano]

Well, I have been working to effect positive change, to open a dialog with the Obama presidency. The fact (not speculation) remains that Obama was put into the presidency by Wall St. and City of London finance, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. He owes Wall St.! So, will he serve them, or will he serve the people? People feel good about Obama now, but actions speak louder than impassioned speeches. With all that, I hope for positive change.

[scuromano]

Yes, how about that? I wouldn't quite say that the people have spoken. His campaign was still paid for and promoted by Wall St. The main objective of people like George Soros, one of he worlds biggest speculators, was accomplished: to knock Hillary out of the primaries. So, the question is: will Obama serve Wall St., or will he serve Main St.? Actions speak louder than words. Interestingly enough, he brought some Clinton people into his cabinet and Wall St. is not happy about that.

Guess what......OBAMA is your next President and the people have spoken....

So president McCain is going to nominate Howard Dean to a political post? Come on man. The liberals who control the democractic party love Obama because he holds their views. All Obamas friends, Wright, Ayers, and the like have the same views as they do.
