With the Corporate Media Silencing 3rd Party Candidates, How Can We Question if Obama Really Is For 'Change' ?

I never heard anyone speculate that Obama might, against all the odds, rally to the “No to Bailout” cause. His Yes was pure. He told reporters in Clearwater, Florida last Wednesday that "issues like bankruptcy reform, which are very important to Democrats, is probably something that we shouldn't try to do in this piece of legislation." In addition, he said that his own proposed economic stimulus program "is not necessarily something that we should have in this package."

In the crunch, almost invariably, Obama does the wrong thing and in my opinion he always will. Just count out the moments of surrender: reauthorize the Patriot Act? Aye, from Obama. The “class action fairness act”, sought by Big Business for years. Aye from Obama. Capping credit card interest rates? No-o-o from Obama. FISA? Aye from Obama. With Robert Rubin at his side, his bailout vote was as sure as that of the harlot of the credit card companies, the six-term senator from Delaware, Joe Biden.

(BTW-I'd sooner shoot myself in the head than Vote for McCain, but I live in California where Obama is far ahead.)

Obama's turn to the right is further proof that he's a lesser evil in comparison to McSAME as a NY resident, which Obama is sure to win, I am suporting McKinney, Nader is great too, to protest this Bush lite programs. However in close states like Florida or NC, people have to do a lot of thinking in order to avoid the Bush/Gore robbery. In the long run we need to have strong left wing progressive parties and not this lousy rightist bi partisanship Those uf us who want to learn more about alternatives, should read Counter Punch, The Nation, The People's World, Granma in English, In These Time, Mother Jones and the Progressive.

The other candidates serve the function of "none of the above" on the ballot.
