In a recent poll, more people oppose healthcare reform than approve of it &#8211; thanks to the healthcare industry&#8217;s blood-stained money pouring into the airwaves and Barack Obama&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Reuters: &#8220;The financial community is donating more to Democrats than ever before and you&#8217;ve got more Democrats in the financial community, creating a very powerful pattern there. I don&#8217;t think you&#8217;re going to see the Obama administration and Congress willing to be tough enough in dealing with these things.&#8221; An author who saw the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Glenn Greenwald in Salon: &#8230;late Friday afternoon, the Obama DOJ filed the government&#8217;s first response to EFF&#8217;s lawsuit (.pdf), the first of its kind to seek damages against government officials under FISA, the Wiretap Act and other statutes, arising out of Bush&#8217;s NSA program. But the Obama DOJ demanded dismissal of the entire lawsuit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Bonnie Erbe: Funny how once they win election, politicians&#8217; promises go out the window. President Obama promised change. But some of his cabinet and subcabinet appointments have been anything but. I posit two examples here, first Treasury Secretary-designate Tim Geithner: Timothy F. Geithner became the ninth president and chief executive officer of the Federal [...]]]></description>

They can&#8217;t indict Bush officials for what they did because [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we have seen again and again, whistleblower protection is nonexistent. From Glenn Greenwald at Salon: &#8230;Thomas Tamm is the mid-level, career Justice Department lawyer who, in 2004, blew the whistle on Bush&#8217;s illegal NSA&#160;spying program by alerting The&#160;New York Times&#8216;&#160;Eric Lichtblau to the fact that&#160;Bush was eavesdropping on Americans without the warrants required by [...]]]></description>
