I was only speaking of justice, concerning the profiteers involved in our 
present economic mess.  I genuinely believe that Obama is packaged by Madison 
Avenue & bankrolled by bankers and hedgefund managers.

David Brooks wrote a column a while back in the NYT about how that breakdown 
of $200 coontributions is very misleading.  Most of Obama's money is coming 
from the monied powerful.  People are under the misconception that they tend 
to support republicans.  that just isn't true this year.

Would I expect a lot better from McCain, not really.  I just believe he is 
less dependent on them.  Just my opinion ....bobford
