Nestled among the lofty rhetoric of "hope and change,"� Barack Obama made a core promise during the 2008 campaign that he would put an end to the corporate cronyism that has long pervaded the political system. "The days of sweetheart deals for Halliburton will be over when I'm in the White House,” he proclaimed. What President Obama left out however, was that the days of sweetheart deals for his cronies had only just begun"“with his chief corporate advocate, Google, quickly emerging as the Halliburton of his administration.
Though the Internet giant recently faced serious federal antitrust charges that might have broken up other companies, it emerged virtually unscathed just two months after President Obama won re-election with significant financial and creative assistance from Google and its executives. Unquestionably the president’s most indispensable corporate ally, the terms of Google’s recent antitrust settlement are just the latest example of crony capitalism benefiting the company under the Obama Administration.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
