    How a persident creates change

    Hillary is too wedded to and embedded with corporate interests to create the fundamental changes we need in our society. Because she is so uninspiring and the quintessential insider, she will never have the popular support a president would need to confront the corporate oligarchy that frankly, Hillary is a member of. Obama or Edwards would have the potential to inspire the popular support that would enable them to face the most powerful foe in the world-US corporate oligarchy, and perhaps even win a few battles.
