I will be a good boy and withhold my outrage for a few more months - tops, but people who really want change (and yes, we do need it) need to be outspoken and be applying the heat. Due to our toothless prostitute called the mainstream media being incapable of "watchdogging" anything except their own paycheck and feeble job security, the public will remain in a state of ignorant bliss. Tim Geitner was going to be the new head of treasury regardless who won the presidency because the selection was never the President's to make. In case people hadn't figured this out yet, the President of the United States is not the most powerful man in the world. He works for the internation banking community best defined as Rockefeller's G-30 group. They call the big shots not the president.
I hate to say it because I voted for him too, but Obama is a mouthpiece just like Clinton and both Bushes were. Change will only come from the street level upward. Other than guys like Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich, there is no one in DC who will even speak of what really needs to be done. I think Obama is a smooth talking car salesman but I guess time will tell.
