I am voted for Barack Obama. But there is another side to the story!

"In the U.S., we know that the next two final presidential candidates, Republican and Democrat alike, are going to each have to raise something like half a billion dollars. And that's not going to come from me and you. Primarily that's going to come from the people who own and run our big corporations. So the G8 is this group of countries that represent the biggest multinational corporations in the world and really serve at their behest.--It doesn't really matter whether we have a Democrat or a Republican in the White House or running Congress; the empire goes on, because it's really run by what I call the corporatocracy, which is a group of men who run our biggest corporations. They really are the equivalent of the emperor, because they do not serve at the wish of the people, they're not democratically elected, they don't serve any limited term. They essentially answer to no one, except their own boards. They are the power behind this. Today corporations exist for the primary purpose of making large profits, making a few very rich people a lot richer. That shouldn't be."John Perkins,"The Secret History of the American Empire: Economic Hit Men, Jackals, and the Truth about Global "
The rich of the world were eager to loan money to the poor nations of the world, for the money came with strings—strings which would become chains of immense debt over time. After the poor nations had spent their loans, often squandering them at the economic marketplaces of the rich nations, they had little to repay them with. But the interest was due month after month, year after year, and that often required taking out more loans, with more interest, and growing indebtedness, dependence, poverty, and economic slavery.

Stu's Views: Hillary Clinton for president?

February 5, 2008
By Stuart Baimel

"Clinton, compared to Obama, has shown herself to be far humbler(?) in her ambitions for the presidency, focusing on solutions and results rather than grand, gauzy rhetoric.--The American people will find a Hillary Clinton presidency to be humble(?) and bipartisan, much like her seven and a half years in the Senate. -------

Obama for president: It's no 'fairy tale'

Abstract:
He stands tall and proud on podiums during state primaries and caucuses, both in victory and defeat.
