A super PAC has just been put together to catapult Hillary Clinton to the White House. The good news about such move so early in the game is that at least in appearance this could mean the incumbent won't have the nerve to try and change the constitution in order to go for a third term and that America's democracy won't be subverted after all. But on the dark side it reminds us of how distorted and ill our political system has become. Politicians devote hundreds of hours and millions of dollars to get elected and no sooner are they in power than they start all over again wasting so much precious time that could be used doing their real job. The damned thing is a circus and it needs urgent repair only that we the people seem not to have the will nor the guts to take back our destiny and talk some sense into these bureaucrats' minds.
For all his traveling and posturing our current president is an embattled politician who can hardly cope with four scandals and the power grabbing that has already begun in his party in view of the 2016 election, not to mention the midterm contest in 2014; his ratings are at the lowest so far and his supporters will inevitably start breaking ranks as the next chapter of this "comedy" draws nearer. This is precisely the moment when the people of this country should demand a change and make sure we steer the vessel to a new and more steady course. On the other side the republican party is still struggling to find a leader, it seems to be a bunch of old farts in need of a shrink instead of a political organization; this weakness in the political scenario is ideal for a move on the people's side, but we don't seem to be willing nor able to seize the moment. As I always say: no politician will bestow upon us any rights we haven't handsomely earned. Do we have what it takes to earn our rights back?
