Oil Spill Politics

Obama was shocked, SHOCKED I say, to learn that the MMS [gov't agency "overseeing" the oil industry, was actually just a lacky working FOR the oil industry -- rubber stamping their requests and serving thier needs.

Let's look at the real problem ... this is just a microcosm of the macrocosm.

It's clear the gov't doesn't just repressent the interests of the oil industry.

In just the past couple of years we have seen the gov't repressents and works for:

• The big "too big to fail" banks
• The private Federal Reserve Bank
• The health insurance companies [health care bill]
• The military industrial complex ...
• ....

I wonder if we can ever get back to a Republic,
with respect for the law and constitution,
for the people, not the corporacracy.
