Obama is not in charge. Romney would not be in charge. Politicians are the public face of corporate power. They are corporate employees. Their personal narratives, their promises, their rhetoric and their idiosyncrasies are meaningless.

It produces brands that are different. And brands cost a lot of money to sell. Chris Hedges ☀
