An in-depth interview; this 50:45 minute show taken from Wisconsin Public Radio - recorded yesterday explains very succinctly the very process which adulterates any leader in our political system. This includes Obama, [I]even the omnipotent Ron Paul[/I] (OMG!!:shock:) - if he were elected, [I][B]anyone,[/B][/I] [I]no matter their ideals or intentions upon being elected[/I], and what he says [B][I]we need to do to to ensure that this does not continue to happen[/I][/B]. Mr. Jarecki discusses the military industrial complex, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Gen John Eisenhower, President-Elect Obama, Senator McCain, and the current strangleholds keeping power concentrated among the few.
I personally enjoyed "Why We Fight" and found this to be even more instructive and pertinent to this very moment in time. I found his analysis of McCain's candidacy to be very, very telling and agree with his analysis wholeheartedly.
[I][B]Very enlightening - highly recommended listen.[/B][/I] :idea::idea::idea:
