roachboy, simply and briefly, while as recently as in the 1976 presidential campaigj, a democratic candidate, a senator, proposed in a campaign brochure, a new congressional investigation concerning concentration of corporate control, and private wealth, and relationships of these holders of wealth and control, as the TNEC did in 1938. By 2002, only third party politician Nader was still proposing this. Now we have Obama as the probable democratic nominee. Even though wealth and power are even more concentrated today than 32 years ago, with a trend towards increasing inequity as foreclosures rise and property values fall and unemployment rises, Obama is not going to mention TNEC or propose any investigation. We are left with two major party candidates...McCain, a right leaning militarist, and Obama, a center right militarist...and we'll get posts to read here that Obama is not a center right militarist....not a 'status qyo, window dressing offering from the PTB'....those posts will confirm for me that the PTB's consolidation of the media and 50 years of the republican mighty wurlitzer have succeeded in making a center right militarist seem like a left of center 'change agent'...nice work...and if you buy into 'Obama as change', I hope you're correct....
