[WS:] As opposed to other candidates who will not go on the ruthless business of serving corporate power?
Get real, Dennis (and others). The corporate power exists regardless of the party system, let alone which candidate gets elected. The party system is product of that power, not its cause. The candidates must either bark with the corporate pack or else be swept aside or assassinated, politically or literally.
With that in mid, your criticism of Obama is not valid - it only would be valid if Obama served corporate interests and other candidates did not, or if he served them more zelously than others. So unless you show me that this is the case, I simply do not buy this line of criticism.
