True words. The global elite are all in collusion it seems too. In the US, with corporate personhood sheilding them from all kinds of accountability (we CEOs and managers didn't commit mortgage fruad, Wells Fargo did! So go after the bank itself, leave us alone!) and the ability to spend however much money they want to essentially buy elections - it truly is scary how elite the elite are.
Whether Obama or Romney, we're all screwed. Still, it'd be interesting to see Romney elected. I feel like Obama gets a pass for being the first Black POTUS and the same people hounding Bush's policies say nothing while Obama has been an extension of his predecessor. I think the people will be more adversarial with Romney in the White House and the anti-war and civil liberties folks will be up in arms again.
Bush got ripped for spying on Americans while Obama gets to not only spy via the national security state but also enable indefinite detention and even kill folks (US citizens) with no judicial oversight whatsoever... yet no one says a word.
