1. My opinion, only, based on omnivorous reading

The Neocons weaseled their way into government, cut deals with the Banksters, and proceeded to lose Latin America and the Middle East.

Meanwhile, the Chinese stole Africa right out from under their noses, and expanded in their own back yard (Asia).

The free-market-privateers succeeded in dissipating 100 years of America's economic process, while the banksters sank the euro and everything connected to it.

Now that both Neocons and Banksters have come up criminal, we the unaffiliated have two messes to clean up. If we have the will.

The Banksters have an upper hand at the moment, because they still have the money (and aren't in jail). But the global economy is in such dire straits that even the Banksters can see that the light at the end of that tunnel is an oncoming train.

Right at this moment, neither group is in the power seat. Because the people are rising in revolt. Finally.

And Obama, trying to be everything to all people, is the craftiest of the lot, and therefore, the one to watch.

If you want heroes, look in Latin America and Iceland. And Anonymous, and Occupy.
