centralized oversight

> Very heartfelt.  I agree with all the sentiments.  Unfortunately, we're ultimately on the losing side of this.  Obama, Clinton, Romney, Gingrich et al have already been bought and belong to the same paymasters.  Only the brand names are different, or the roles played: good cop or bad cop - no election will change that.

There is nothing wrong with being on the losing side of this; we need
to accept that we Americans will continue to live better than most,
but will be poorer relative to others in the world, as their gain will
be our loss. This is not a bad thing; the American needs to live
within her means, spend less and save more, conserve and stop burning
a dsiproportanate pewrcentage of the planet's dwindling resources.
Productivity gains, through technology, and more education that has
value in the market place will re-tool America, but she will decline
as she must. That said, the good news on the economy is real; we are
on our way up. Obama is btter than anyone else we might get and we can
live with him; he is a good man, a decent man, a man who cares about
us and wants us to have a soft landing into less prosperous times.
Don't worry, be happy. Revolution won't come so stop wishing for it;
wish for something santa can deliver; 7% unemployement and 4% real
GDP. We're only a few more big bail outs away...hold on to your jobs
and spend some money and we'll be O-kay. And, stop believing in the
power of presidents cause they will only disappoint you. Presidents
can't do much about the economy. They can do big work tossing
government out and look at what Obama has accomplished! Go Hilary!
