    constitution

    basically Obama election is a bit deeper than most comments it is a universal rejection of the bourgeoisie from 1792. therefore any attempts to renew the economy by the old methods will fail. we are in 2008 not in 1936. these schemes to continue with this capitalistic bourgeois enslavement are over.

    and hes got no other choice. i believe he should revamp the constitution and include the American natives which are the real Americans, the rest of the lot are just immigrants. therefore to act properly he must act just and be real on a real world. globalization has brought him to were he is now but for a reason. if he fail the consequences will be far worse. forget this financial bourgeois system it is over think in the future a new system a new nation a new ideal.
