Allow me commence with the most ignored point of American politic, the electrodes. In the recent election, little over sixty percent of eligible voting population voted (a record of sort!) with mccain getting around 46% and obama around 52% of the votes. In relation to total eligible votes, obama received around 31% and mccain around 28%. Well, a whopping 41% of the population of this nation did not vote for either candidate. To insinuate that any president in the recent history is elected by majority is utterly false. Now the question is why this majority did not vote and do they have any power to wield? Time will tell but from where I am standing the great majority will be heard soon enough thanks to current financial debacles and eventual fall of capitalism. It has been irrelevant for the past four decade or so who is in the white house, the occupants have all been selected, promoted, and installed by the same group that brought us the federal reserve. Now these so call pundits will be more believable if they start telling the public the true essence of washington dealings and inform us of the true powers that rule obama and likes. Stop the shenanigan and pretended concern over the appointments made by the puppets of the big money when you know good and well that they are doing the biddings of their masters.
