The Vice President can hold a meeting with big oil and yet keep the meeting and attendees secret from We the People who pay his paycheck and for the offices he works out of. These two will lie cheat and steal until they are stopped. Any sitting President can change big oils course by just letting go of some of the reserves. That is such a small thing but such a large statement. Bill Clinton did it. You defend these two because they are your mentors and employers. When Democrats take over the White Out House to turn it back into the White House in January they will have an open avenue to find out just how much corruption really went down. And I'm expecting a great amount. You see if they don't and try to use the same powers that so called Executive Bull Crap Privilege gives them, the Neocons will be crying wolf. Don't forget the President picks the AG. There will not be any more stone walling from the Judicial Branch of Government as they may find their legal heads in the noose also. While you wear blinders to not look at the way this past 8 years has gone for the majority of Americans, you promote all that you do and accomplish by using the same tactics. How many places will invite Bush and Cheney for a speaking engagement in New Orleans after their term is over? How many soldiers will never vote again? How many sick and handicapped patients can the VA handle while pushing it's older soldiers aside? We the people will rejoice when January 20th, 2009 comes around. The road back will be tough but it will not be the rich helping only the rich anymore. Only then you might look in a mirror. When you go on vacation stateside somewhere and you get mugged by someone who should be home or in some kind of sports tournament you'll remember these words. What goes around comes around and Most ignorance vincible ignorance.
