PA, Congress is part and parcel to "the mess in Washington"... Obama REFUSES to call for reform there and reduce corruption, un-fully- committee vetted earmarks, and lobbyist influence THERE... Charlie Rangel is just the recent bi-partisan example of the corrupt, self- seeking, do-nothing good-old-boy network there... That Obama can go against the powerful within his own party is telling of Obama's approach of limiting calls for reform only to Republicans... This is a large part of why Obama is no longer seen of a honest and serious reformer by the young...
Obama's partisanship IS GREATER than McCain's, in words and deeds... When has he worked across the aisle to do anything that was vigorously opposed by the powerful corrupt and corrupting self-centered special interests groups within the Democratic party??? Obama's "demand" the change be defined as "all power levels by controlled by Democrats" is what the threat is...
