out of how many billions of you guys in the US and thats all you can come up with.Seriously steven harper is a better candidate and he is an idiot
Cake walk for obama
One must remember, it is the "system" that is the problem. When you have a primary system in place to elect a Presidential candidate that is a marathon race from beginning to end requiring enormous sums of money to continue, then it becomes basically "survival of the fittest" NOT the best candidate. As a result, this eliminates the vast majority of potentially good people who, despite their credentials, would have no chance whatsoever of securing the massive funds necessary to even start the process.
When Obama ran in the primary before the last election it was essentially TWO years from the time he started to the day he took office. He raised over $600 million dollars and McCain over $400 million(the first Billion dollar Presidency)!
Of course, once elected, there are no "strings attached" to the securing of those funds, yeah right! This is why, with very few exceptions, all these candidates still are or have been involved at some point or another in the Washington "inner circle" and are more often than not very rich themselves with the necessary political connections.
