Obama on FISA = Same Old Shit

When push came to shove, Obama caved to corporate pressure. What explains such a move on his part? It's simple: we "the people" aren't his true constituency - he just wants our votes. His true constituency is corporate America.

I cannot respect anyone that favors the needs of juristic persons over the Constitutionally protected rights of natural persons.

I think we are in for some major political battles over who owns this country: corporations or individuals. I know which side of this equation most career politicians fall under.

Consider the name of this blog and what it means.

I like most of the opinions held and given voice by Olbermann. The guy says some really great stuff from time to time. If he has a political opinion with which I would disagree I haven't heard it yet, but there is this one thing...

He seems to think that if the Democrats win a landslide election that everything will somehow "auto-magically" get better for the USA. As if the Dems weren't up to their eyeballs in corporate funding and favors that must be paid back. As if Obama wasn't basically just politics as usual. Etc.

Olbermann is certainly anti-GOP and I can't disagree with that at all. But I am far more lukewarm on the Dems than is Olbermann. Olbermann comes across as fairly enthusiastic about the Dems while simultaneously kicking them in the balls anyway.

Personally, I just don't trust any political party really. And that's the point Olbermann was making by referencing George Washington.

So why the enthusiasm, Keith? Just kick them in the balls and be done with it.
