The election results were, for the most part, I think, a referendum against corporate rule and corporate money/greed and corporate personhood and plutocracy. I believe the person who will do the most good for the most people beat the person who sought to do the most good for the fewest.

Our measley $150.00 donation to Senator Sherrod Brown was more successful than the $40 million spent against him. I LOVE IT!

I love it that all that corporate money was wasted in many cases. I guess they thought we would be their willfully ignorant puppets and believe all their LIES since they are the mighty "job creators." They have NO clout. They had all they could ask for the past 12 years, low-no taxes and very little regulation, and they just took the profits and ran. Tax em' big so that they have to hire and improve infrastructure and train to get their breaks back. Why give them more? They haven't proved that they will act wisely and intelligently.

well-paid/employed workers = monied consumers = long-term profit for business = strong country and economy

The REAL people spoke; we need to do so much more in that vein. Are those corporate bigshots, who said they would fire people if the wrong person won, keeping their word. If so, the lawyers should be busy suing those blackmailers. If not, then I guess the bullies didn't walk their talk and have lost face and respect. Not like they derserve it anyway.

I have renewed faith in our Democracy. Voters stood up and clearly said that our elections can't be bought by corporate interests with lots of money and falsehoods. I realize it will be a tough battle against a Republican House, but I do think that some of the wind will be taken out of their sails, now that Mitch McConnell's number one agenda of making Obama a one time president is over. I also think voters need to send a strong message to the Republicans that if they don't play fair, then with the election in two years, they will be thrown out.

I voted yes, because there is no visible change in Republican attitude toward the hobbling of this Democratic administration and any programs to improve our economy. The Republicans are lead by a group of red neck neo-con, tea-party fascist who believe it’s their god given right to trample on our civil liberties so that they my enrich their wallets.

The Republicans in the House of Representatives will not legislate anything that will assist the 99% only the 1%. The Senate has the filubuster which allows one crazy Republican to stop bills dead in their tracks. The Republicans are so racist they will not stop at anything that will let a black President succeed at his job. On the other hand, Obama is a righty, as well, so I do not expect much of anything to be done except for more of the same do nothing politics of the right wing agenda.

The similarity exists in the campaign tactics because it is still the old Prescott Bush-Harriman regime and their henchmen trying to control politics. They have control of the Hughes estate, Kryder, Schultz, and all the slush money of any estate they can filter through law firms as "Foundations."

For example, the Federal Reserve entered Sands Capital Management into its database the same day it entered Marathon Oil, aka Zapata Oil:

NIC 2006-07-17 SANDS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT INC. located at ARLINGTON, VA was established as a Domestic Entity Other

NIC 2006-07-17 MARATHON OIL CORPORATION located at HOUSTON, TX was established as a Domestic Entity Other.

The link here is Burger King International and KeyBank. Thomas Wakefield, Rebozo's lawyer and once head of Tampa, FL. coca cola operations, aided the laundering of Florida East Coast Railway bankruptcy assets by setting up the cash mongering Burger King Franchise through a front man who is/was business partners with my dear papa.

Unfathomable lands of the FEC Ry were leased to franchise operators through the Burger King entity, and in 1970 (Penn Central Bankruptcy), long after original stockholders of the FEC Ry had any energy left after a 40 year bankruptcy, common stockholders were forced to accept 40 cents on the dollar while all of the lands of the railroad were removed from its asset column. This includes the fabulous Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach as well as groves, coastline, and most of what was resold AFTER the Florida land boom for cents on the dollar, to the more fortunate.

The bank which handled this was primarily Barnett, now Bank of America. However, hiding behind Barnett Bank after the boom was the Harvester-DuPont Bank, Florida National, which was busy ripping up the state via the St. Joe Company and phosphate mines.

Separating the realty of the FEC RY from the actual tracks and cars was absolutely contrary to the Will of Henry Morrison Flagler which ordered that upon his death every rr car, implement, hotel, and tenement be repainted with the words "FLAGLER SYSTEM," all of which was part of the mutual investment of common stockholders. This lasted till that generation died, while the railroad was in bankruptcy.

Key Land Company was the Wakefield/Rebozo enterprise in which Nixon was embroiled.

The Key System was more or less the San Francisco sister system of the Flagler System.

BKI is a BAIN Capital operation AT THIS TIME.

KeyBank is now the depository for the Mormon Prophet who worked there 20 years until the late nineties. However, in those days the bank was known as Commercial Security.

I hope that this research of Hidden History will extend far enough back into the origins so that someday the head swallows the tail of this story I have worked on for 20 years.

From the days of the Union Pacific, every railroad bankruptcy has squirreled gold bonds and real estate away into the Harriman trust companies, far away from common stockholders and the public eye. This is how U.S. land was consolidated for centralized ownership for the seemingly sudden appearance of mega-giant retailers, littering the landscape with strip malls, suburban sprawl, and the fast-food operations everyone loves to hate.

Nobody hides as much history as the railroads wherein lies the key bank to the neverending cycle of bank failures, booms and busts. This is because railroads make bonds that outlast us for generations, they make maps which are impossible to comprehend in total, and because there is only one American railroad- that of the 37th Congress and their heirs and descendants, the UP. Our other railroad, Norfolk Southern, is owned by the Queen, courtesy of Robert Fleming, grandfather of Ian.

No progress can be made until these old obstacles and violations of our free enterprise system are understood and amended. Transportation is too powerful and controls the cost of everything, more so than oil.

Recognizing our inability to change the past, let's try to take advantage of our opportunities in the near future. Here is a start on our Demagenda:

1. Change the filibuster rule. (Are you listening Harry?)

2. Hold Senate hearings on where the campaign millions came from. (China? Saudi Arabia?)

3. Develop new rules for the Supreme Court.

4. Redistrict federal electorial districts via an independent commission. (Not party related.)

5. Require a paper trail for all federal election votes.

6. Offer bills on issues with greater than 60% public support:

a. More progressive income tax,

b. Close access to Off-shore tax havens,

c. Move subsidies from carbon fuels to a renewable energy development and research, (a direct approach addressing climate change.)

d. Push Medicare for all. (Overhead drops to 3%)

e. Develop an infrastructure repair and modernization program. (Jobs, jobs, jobs.)

7. Hold Senate hearings on unconstitutional activities by our government.

8. Presidential nominees not acted on in (60, 90, ??) days are authorized.

9. No new wars.

10. Get Obama out of the Oval Office to work with the Congressional Democrats on an agenda.

Let's discuss what's most important for the country to have addressed as we watch things fall apart from inaction.

Sure, let's all be jolly and amenable to compromise..let's all be civil...eh? .isn't that the Democrat way? Isn't that what Obama pretended to do in his first 4 years: "Oh, don't be angry...let's be civil and compromise!" And Obama spent all his time giving in to the Republicans. Really embarrassing that I even voted for the little creep. He was supposed to be a fighter but he turned out to be a push over. Damn right I'm bitter. I know he won't be any better this next time around....because he's a wuss. It's either that or he is so vile and evil that he knows full well the lies he tells us to get elected and has no intention of following through with his campaign pretensions. He is so vile and evil and crooked that he would now say that his winning the election was a "mandate" for him to continue doing what he did before...sell out the people that voted for him...continue murdering people with his drones...continue giving the healthScare maggots just what they wanted in Obama/Romney care...continue prosecuting the whistle blowers who spill the beans on criminal wrongdoing...continue to let the Wall Street gangsters steal from retirement accounts...continue to bail out the gangsters when their gambling bets lose...continue to spy on American citizens...continue to use Homeland Security for everything but real national security...continue to let corporations send our jobs overseas....and on and on. Now Obama can even assassinate any one of us any time he sees fit. And it is not just Obama but anyone that holds that office in the future...and that office will be the puppet of corporate America. Fascist America.

Obama's win was not a "mandate" to keep doing what he did in the last 4 years. It was the horror of the prospect of a Romney Presidency. We need to make that quite clear to President Obama.

Mysogyny and Corporate raiding are two things, at least, that Romney and Obama didn't have in common. And I'd say that Romney certainly had Obama beat on lying. But Obama was certainly not without sin on that last account.

Am I happy that Romney didn't win? Immensely so!!! But, I'm afraid, unless Obama really does change his tune (and actions) from his last four years we will see, eventually, what would have occurred much sooner had Romney won...massive uprisings. I believe that had the Green Party made a huge showing...and by some quirk actually won...then it would have sent a strong message that our ruling elite have lost their corrosive and coercive powers. I had no realistic expectation that Americans, in numbers, were brave and bright enough to effectively buck the entrenched, corrupt two party system. But, at least, I feel that I did not waste my vote this time when I voted for Jill Stein.

I fear that the only way the criminal, right-wing, ruling elite will stop their economic war on the people will be when the people, as in all those other countries around the world are doing, revolt in mass unrest. As prices for food, gasoline, and other necessities dramatically escalates, driving the value of people's savings (if they have any) down... driving more people into poverty...as people start needlessly losing their loved ones because of lack of expensive medical care...they will eventually cower and die themselves or they will strike back at their wealthy and greedy tormentors.

Oh, Zod! There's that M-word again (mandate)! Now Obama believes that everything he did in his first 4 years is just the way it should be in the next 4 years. Never mind the noisy nattering nabobs of negativity who don't agree with Obama's sell-out to the corporate right and Murder Inc. who make scads of blood money from the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians. I would be very shocked if Obama did in this next four years what many Democrats hope would be a shift to the left...for a change...and truly represent all those who voted for him.

And, again, we are getting a hint of "blame the lazy people who merely voted for Obama" in his statements saying essentially the same thing he did before that "voting is not enough you have to do more...get more involved--you have to 'make' him do what is correct". Maybe what Obama meant was that we all had to riot in the streets to make ourselves absolutely clear on the matter? Occupy Wall street was not enough it seems. Obama just kept bending over for the corporate maggots who commanded him to. He will most likely continue in that posture for the next 4 years.

When angry people did react against his previous anti-democratic, anti-progressive, war-criminal actions he got mad at us and couldn't understand why so many of his supporters were upset by his actions. Now he's essentially repeating the same old verbiage that will allow him to blame the people who elected him because THEY didn't do enough.

I didn't throw away my votes on Corporate America and Murder Inc. I voted for Jill Stein. Everyone else wasted their votes on more of the bloody same.

The only thing that your votes for Obama has done is to temporarily delayed the inevitable...when you all wake up and realize that voting for the least evil of the two party system candidates will not change things for the better. Hope dies hard and you suckers will find that out very soon. I'm happy that Romney lost but sad that Obama won. Obama really didn't deserve to win...and neither did Romney. But the wealthy won again and America lost again.

And speaking of a movement...I think I feel one coming on right now...movement...my A$$! Now, could you be more specific as to what you mean by "movement"? Wasn't the majority of Americans voting for Obama a "movement"? It was an "action" but so is rioting in the streets. Sounds like just more rhetoric to bandy about. Sounds like just another way to wheedle more money out of people who can't afford it.

Like, all these "movements" all beg for money. Do you know how many leeches try to game the system (the people) when they come up with bright ideas that they want people to believe are "movements". Maybe write a book or two, create a web site, go on talk shows, beg for money. They're the scavengers, bottom feeders, of the political money machine. They can make a very good living that way.

So much for taking money out of the political system. And with all of the money that the Republicans threw into the election...didn't do them much good did it? If we're going to get money out of politics..."movements" begging for money is not a good start. Movement...now there's another M-word for you. Mandates and Movements and, oh yeah, Money! How about Mickey Mouse? How about Mooch?

The Pirates of the Caribbean now plan time to parlay.

My view, Mr. Hartmann opens a new chapter in honest journalism. This story is more than interesting about the secrets of Adelson Sands Corporation. It has substance of crime, and likely even murder because of greed, fraud, and complicity in the political arena. All which is busting out into the mainstream media like it or not.

There is no recourse for the guilty perpetrators but to lie and deceive like hell. It reminds one of an old cowboy movie as the villain suppresses or oppresses openly the common range civilian citizen. Like the movie “Open Range”. Starring Kevin Costner, Robert Duvall, ending in where the citizens of the town kill the rich influence. For me hopefully this is not going to happen in America, but when having a conversation with some and finding out it is popular to start stowing food and collect material for reloading weapons on your own as in the patriot, one wonder what will happen.

This election as ugly as one may want characterize did flush out many backroom secret deals. All making the citizen not even wanting to work for a Republican. Its interesting why, for heaven’s sake Romney said, he could not have undocumented labor on his payroll. Actually all this hoopla shows how much of a super power America is not. Moreover, until many or all of this corruption in the capital can be resolved America will never have a Golden Age. Reconstruction will not occur because of obstruction of intrinsically dishonorable, greed, and self-indulgence. Especially the well establishes Watergate that is still connected. Likely even better reinforced with dark money that is tapped from the Citizens Treasury.

The rant that Obama has no leadership is laughable, when one considers the grief and strife that President Obama went through to put Health Care as a goal and turning off the wars the second primary goal in his first years is the reason I voted for him. The Obstacles have been incredible and obvious; Republicans are to blame for the depreciation in America’s credit besides crazy war expenses. Those millions of voter that did not see this vision are the ones that need the health care, the primary mental care that is blinded by hate.

IF Mormon Bishop Mitt wins That will be a sad day for democracy and prove Fox Hannity Rushs lies and Mitts flip flopping worked. ! Lets Hope voter suppression FAILS Lets .Pray voters in long lines hang tough ! I voted for Obama because we can NOT trust a man who will not stand firm on any position or state what his plans are and what he will cut- or voucher-ze , privatize A man who thinks he is above all & looks down- dismisses 1/2 of America. and out right refuses to release income tax returns as other Pres have done. That tells us Mitt is hiding something big. Trust Character Integrity & Guts are what we must have in a President .
