I think you've missed the point. The point of a free country is that that it should be the other way around, the people have the power. Unless of course the US is not actually free, which it sounds like is what you're trying to point out to me...

During Katrina actor Sean Penn personally rescued more people in a motorboat than the scoundrels who committed treason by exposing their own spy during that operative's ongoing service-the only people I can think of in history to act in such a horrible manner.Tank You,President Obama,for making them pack their things and go!The same type of people who turned Bessie away from a "White Only" hospital to die...May their house fall down,so they can't live there no more!Thank You Incedibly4Posting!

A wonderful, inspiring, heart breaking video. Interesting have the art and photographs together. Thanks to all for this, especially Ms Bessie Smith.

Too bad the video editor got so obsessed with funky transitions and overlays; there are some good pictures in there.
I love Bessie Smith! She was truly "The Empress of the Blues."
