Obama or McCain we'd still have the same **** going on.....
Every president since JFK has been a puppet for corporate america. Every single one, elected or challenging was carefully selected so that they could do the work of the people who made it possible for them to get where they are.
Obama's no different from Bush. He's not ending the war in Iraq, he's moving it to Afghanistan. The same defense companies that have bagged riches from that war will keep on rolling in the money from the next war.
Obama pledged to protect the American market and back out of NAFTA and the like. He has since not acted on it.
The only thing that has changed is that people were catching on to Bush so these guys wanted to introduce a guy that appeared the exact opposite but in reality would play the cards the same.
2008 was the perfect time to play the race card to get him in. And it worked fooling everyone into thinking America would be making good changes. Instead it's just like Coke, great new look, same great taste......
