Why Obama will work for America. We need to take back our country. The bottom line is that our government no longer works for us. The government works for the lobbyists who have had a big hand in influencing (if not helping to draft) legislation favoring not the average American citizen but instead big business: health insurance, pharmaceutical and oil companies, and defense contractors, among others. These are the guys who can make the kinds of political contributions that are needed to finance today's multi-million-dollar political campaigns."

"We want our troops home, but we need a new type of President to march into Washington and take a fresh, uncorrupted look at the needs of the vast majority of Americans. We need this goverment fixed so we can be proud again.
