The only way to change this country...

[Bonn1997]

according to Thom Hartmann is to hope that Supreme Court composition favorably changes by having successive Democratic Presidencies (and then get rid of corporate personhood). He acknowledges that the Congress could get rid of corporate personhood too through an Amendment but clearly won't. He argues that Pres. Obama has a lot less power than we think. I don't want to put words in his mouth but this is my understanding of what he's said on the radio and I agree entirely with him.

1. Ditch corporate personhood,

reign in the banking industry, and invest in renewable energy and sustainable agriculture.

Nationalizing the Fed wouldn't be amiss either.

2. I think his point is that there's no way to do that now unless you want the corporate powers to

destroy your presidency and your party

3. But the ruling democrats now support our present Corporatocracy. We, the People, are Screwed. eom

4. If President Obama sides with the big corporations every single time BUT appoints several

progressive or even moderate, reasonable humans to the Supreme Court over the next seven years, I believe he will have done more good for the country in the long run than any other human over the past 40 years.
