True Colors
As a wholly-owned subsidiary of corporate America, the US Congress will not give the American people anything without us organizing ourselves to make demands. That strategy applies to Obama as well.
While Obama is unlikely to invite Nader to be part of his cabinet, the fact that Obama insisted that Nader not be allowed into any of the presidential debates means he is committed to denying the American people a voice in its governance. Love Nader or not, he has walked the talk for democracy in our country, and excluding him from the discussion about our future shows Obama's true colors.
