Corporate Misadventures Abroad / Economic Crunch at Home
~ When Obama is too candid, he scares me a bit. And his record is not good. He sold us out on health care, peace, economic reform, capital punishment, wars of choice, civil rights and constitutional mandates against wiretapping, torture, rape, and murder.
