Who really has the power in Washington?
Mr. Romney, everyone knows where the real power is. It is not with the government, for if it was, Congress would not be so fearful and powerless, nor express such worship of a lame-duck President. If the government held the power in Washington, 9/11 would not have been such a convenient 'surprise attack,' Jack Kennedy would not have been assassinated and Iraq would not be such a fiasco.
We could argue that the people hold the power, but that would be a trite and cynical proposition. It is acknowledged that the people in Washington care more about fattening their portfolios than they do for the American people. In fact the American Dream seems to have created a lot of 'me firsts' who care nothing for the common good of America, nor her citizens. And that is acknowledged by Americans; and that is the motivation behind America raising up a Hero in Obama to defeat the Establishment's choices: you and Ms. Clinton.
It is obvious that there is a Shadow Government or a DEEP STATE that runs the show in Washington and that VP Cheney may be one of the puppet masters. I, like many American Liberals deeply fear for Mr. Obama's life, for, in America, they only assassinate liberals.

Yeah and when/if Obama get’s assassinated many ignorant people out there will call it a race thing, then a giant race war will probably start for a political struggle. People should be smarter than this by now, they have been experiencing the same bs since long before the Romans. Luckily the No Child Left Behind act will make all of our kids smarter, thanks Mr. Bush!

I likt to put the corporate lobbying in the equation of “who holds the powere”.
Coups d’etat are no longer necessary for the corporate business, but they do run in the background and affect our society in a big way

Manpollo: so you are suggesting that the DEEP STATE is the Corporate Elite? Maybe Eisenhower’s Military/Industrial Complex?
Some folks talk about Corporatism and corporatists (representation of groups rather than individuals) and some, like the far-left speak of fascists.

Coyote… follow the money..
corporations are the new countries. unelected (shareholders are easily manipulated) and unaccountable.
Who pays the piper calls the tune?
are there any running for high office who are not compromised by the stench of lobby money? maybe Obama is outside that scenario?
I hope so for you Yanks.
(and for the rest of us)
