THE FLOODGATES ARE OPEN

Corporations and wealthy Americans have used PACs to poure tens of millions of dollars into the 2010 elections in order to influence Congress to continue tax cuts that help them and in the process start the demise of most social programs that help the middle class and the poor.
As I write this I am filled with sorrow for America...­­why has this set of obstacles come forward at this time in our history? We are leaderless at a time of most need...why has President Obama not heard the cry of millions? The call of so many writers and  thinkers calling him to action fall on deaf ears. After the 2008 election I was so hopeful, so optimistic about where America could be after an Obama administra­­tion...an­d now I am sad and tired of the whole process. Does he understand the magnitude of disappoint­­ment?

The calls of some to just buck up and move on are simply not relevant to me any longer...t­­he political process and the office of the President is bought and paid for by the aristocrac­­y...the sell out is complete and I have seen America's better days. Only a miracle can change things now.
I do not expect a miracle or any reaction from my fellow Americans whom I consider mostly ignorant and dumb.
