Except part of the power of the President is exercised for the purpose of making it seem that lobbyist interests are the same as 'the people's' interests.

John McCain is openly a member of global elitist special interest clubs and think tanks like the council on foreign relations (cfr) (http://www.cfr.org/bios/662/john_mccain.html) and the American Friends of Bilderberg (http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/John_McCain_is_an_American_Friend_of_Bilderberg). He needs a better PR agent asap. Disgusting.

I thought the essence of America’s strength is distributed power — not ONE powerful person. Military discipline supports a hierarchical leadership style, and maybe we need to remember the danger of a military approach as our freedoms are being eroded by concentrated power in the administrative branch. We haven’t had a democracy for many many decades. We now have an endangered “republic”…what’s next?
