OTOH, why is it that even when a different party wins - even after he says stuff like "change", "end wars", "close gitmo", "open government" - the same wars continue, the rich get richer, and the same broken policies dominate the government?I think the current democrats's lack of ability to get much substantial done is pretty convincing proof that a handful of bankers and defense contractors do seem to control the government and the elected party is more of a figurehead than a leader.
