This game of billionaire musical chairs, seemingly influencing or controlling the campaigns of both Republican and Democrat presidential candidates through Super PACs, contrasts unfavourably with Canada.

In Canada, the maximum individual political donation is $5,000. There are no Super PAC-like entities. The Conservative Party under Prime Minister Stephen Harper gains its strength, and a huge funding advantage over the other parties, through millions of individual donations in the range of $25 to $200.

It is much more democratic. A Newt in Canada would be much stronger versus a Mitt.

Obama has brought them out of the woodwork so to speak publicly on their endorsements or open plan to kick him out of office. Did we know before of these meetings like mentioned here near Palm Springs that have been going on for some time now? Herman Cain also had to be bigger than I thought if with the Koch Bros since 2005. I like Cain.

Meanwhile The First Lady appeared on Ellen and doing push ups with Ellen. 25-20, The First Lady over Ellen. Could you see Jackie O or the Bush First Ladies in that scenario?

Now Obama can say he runs on donations from the folks, like his campaign guy [?] who recently reacted to $1B reported supposedly in the war chest, it was inaccurate and retracted to a quarter of that, not to scare off small donors.

Its a class warfare—big capitalist match set in motion

Obama gone the Market could go “to the Moon” as Gleason would say.
