Dylan Ratigan gets furious with Obama:
But let’s keep this in mind: We need to differentiate the desire for a strong leader with the desire for a so-called strongman – which is the kind of thing that leads to fascism. We need to do the work of democracy ourselves and stop leaving all the power in the hands of politicians.
There is little that Ratigan says that is useful. But when he rails against the oligarchy and its dictatorial control of our political system through the use of its money he makes sense. The oligarchy (wealthy elite) has so completely corrupted our political process with money that it is now little more than a corporatist (fascist) state run by paid off politicians.
