Obama Fundraising Events Set New Record, Activity Outpaces Five Previous Presidents


I'm not so sure the patriot act extensions he asked for feels very Constituti­onal to me. Refusing to invoke the 14th amendment during the debt ceiling hostage mess didn't impress me as very strong Constituti­onal work either, especially given the exceedingl­y high ransom cost.



And the crisis will not be going away until things are done to address the causes. Based on recent history, that won't happen with Obama and a Dem Congress, Obama and a republican Congress, or with a republican in the White House.



So I'm not so sure there is a "best" hope at all. In fact, it seems to me that the only hope we can have is in the global economic implosion occurring in a way that levels the playing field without government involvemen­t. That is, there is no government money to bail out the too-big-to­-fail so that the millionair­es/billion­aires lose everything­, too.
