    Shame You Can Believe In

    Obama voted for the bail-out, he's retaining the key players in our economic "crisis" to continue the plunder of America, he's keeping the same Secretary of Defense--who supported the Iraq "surge"--and bringing back a cavalcade of players from the Clinton administration; the same people who've walking in and out of the revolving door of private wealth and obscenely corrupt federal power since I was fourteen years old.

    I was a young, naive volunteer for Obama's campaign, once upon an ignorant time. Happy thanksgiving my ass.
