Well, I personally do not have that answer. I am sure that there are members that have opinions on this. But please try to back it up with real facts. This would make this thread more productive.

The fact is that Obama is neither. How could he POSSIBLY be when he is funded by Wall Street? Frankly, I wish he were. I wish there was one politician out there who WOULD offer a real, viable alternative to Capitalism. But they all - including Nader - support the system, with their own modifications, of course. Cynthia McKinney may be an exception as today I heard her suggest we close down the Fed and truly nationalize the banks, not just bail out the bankster capitalists. But until someone suggests we nationalize the profitable companies (like Microsoft or the pharmaceutical industry), I think people can rest easy that the red flag will not be waving over the White House...
