Obama, Remember Who Your Friends Are

Truthout, Editorial: "In the wake of a crushing Democratic defeat in the Massachusetts Senate race, we find ourselves faced with the one-year anniversary of a spirit-changing day in the history of the United States, the inauguration of President Barack Obama.

For unknown reasons, the posters and the flag are no longer there."

Kucinich Shreds Democrats for Betraying the Promise of Change

By Sahil Kapur

"Every area of the economy is still about taking wealth from the great mass of people and putting it into the hands of a few. If you don't have a economic democracy, you don't have a political democracy."
