On Congress, Obama and the Lobby.

Leading a modern American Congress to populism, or for that matter any basic and fair reform, would be like molding a prison yard of child molesters into good grade school schoolteachers. We have been reduced to a nation on the dole.

Here is a case where NYT columnist Frank Rich has accurately sensed the underlying current: everyone in power is addicted, and everyone without power is an unwilling enabler.

The question is quickly becoming: if not Obama and his new executive powers and solid foundations, then how massive must the forces be to undo it all?
