I would never expect the "Very Serious People" of the "Beltway Crowd" to say anything negative to power. They are too insular and beholden to "access" to show real courage. It is, as it has always has been, up to us to put the kind of pressure on our government to change what we don't like. As LBJ put it{and I'm paraphrasing} "I agree with you. Now make me". Back then it still took powerful forces to even get to a President. We have a distinct advantage in the present age. We have this powerful tool that we all use every day and it's the peoples voice that is heard here. We just need to find a way to turn our disparate voices into a forceful choir that Washington can't ignore.
