2. What I like best of Cornel West is his honest common sense

I respect that, and I respect him.

4. Testify, Brother West!

Prof. West once again fearlessly speaks truth to corrupted power.

5. I too believe Obama favors big biz over the people who installed him but...

it's always been that way and will never change. Obama stated he would take away the billions in tax breaks from the Oil Companies and we saw that promise disappear.

6. The people who installed him?

That would be the Wall Street bankers, who figured out they needed to buy the Democrat brand this time around. They knew it would take less money to buy a Democrat than to try to rig an election for the third time. As usual, the powers that be support the best option for them (not Kucinich or Edwards), and dress it up to make it look like the people had a choice.

12. People don't talk about how

this economic problem has effected minority communities the worse. But I forgot, they're not considered part of "Middle America." But even "Middle America" is being given the cold shoulder from Capitol Hill and the White House.

Told us ,vote if you want to it is not going to change.The roller coaster ride, during the Pres campaign,just had a few more tracks added. . A free ride courtesy ,of the Corporation of the grand USA.The Hope ride.Barack ,is right hope is all we have.Yes this is a rigged game . The Rich always having the advantage.The question is are we going to make him do it as he cried out during the campaign?Should I write a letter to my Republican Sen?That is a laugh,I have to contemplate that ,hmm being poor 42 cents for a letter, or half a bag of dry beans to contribute to the food bank?I think the bag of beans would give me greater satisfaction rather then the letter.What little act of civil disobedience can I do?By the way if President Obama had true humility he would have not accepted the Nobel(I am sure he was instructed by others to accept it for the publicity).I still say having Barack Obama as President is still a + ,this fight has only begun. We cannot disparage all or blame someone who was "willing" to take on the Den of Vipers.Thank you the corporations that offered a thriller season of Hope,to those of us willing to suspend or disbelief.
