The list of Obama's terrible voting record -- not even to mention the Afghanistan war! -- made me cringe away from voting for Obama. I agreed with McCain 20%, Obama 40%, and independent Chuck Baldwin/Ron Paul 80% (though Nader is equally impressive). I think it's obvious who won my vote :) Your political honesty is a breath of fresh air, Sibel.

Thank you for your honesty and bravery. <br /><br />Like you, the 2006 congress proved to me once and for all that there is only one political party and it's what I like to call the National Corporate Party of the U.S. <br /><br />Obama is is another front man for the powerful elite that control him. He showed us who he was BEFORE the election. A man who stood for more war, more wiretapping (fisa & patriot act) more pandering to AIPAC and banker bailouts. Anyone who is disappointed in his presidency so far apparently didn't believe his very words and actions before they voted for him.<br /><br />I too am worried about his next 100 days considering what he's done or hasn't done in the first.

I hated that slogan from the beginning, and it's ripe now to be criticized. Keep up the fight, and don't be discouraged. Arrest the banksters!

Change, unfortunately, is not what we got. What we got was merely cosmetic or a trimming round the edges. I look forward to this piece. Change, unfortunately, is not what we got.
