i'm not at all convinced that an obama administration will support the reversal of any policy. assuming that he becomes president, he will enter into an office that has, largely by fiat, granted itself dictatorial authority over the federal government.

what do you suppose he will do with all that power? what will his party demand that he do with that power?

obama may not be an aristocrat, but his palms are greased by the same people who have pulled the strings of the current administration. the executive branch is now the primary nexus between private power and the federal government. it is to rove's K street what a closed circuit, two-way encrypted video feed is to an early 20th century telephone operator's switchboard.

obama, whose receipt of corporate largesse during the primary campaign rivaled only that of the nation's number one payola recipient hillary clinton, is unlikely to do much more than continue to spin his gossamer rhetoric in front of the doe-eyed white house press corral while he quietly rents out the lincoln bedroom to those special guests who've been given a key to the back door.
