I am a Ron Paul supporter. In the video above I think Obama had the right idea. I think he meant what he said, like I think Ron Paul means what he's
saying. The problem is, I don't think they have the power to do it.

You have a good point there (I think a lot of us here believe presidents don't make policy). The strings are pulled by a select few behind the
scenes.
I think a lot of us who are counting on Ron Paul hope he has the fortitude and the courage to shed light on the forces who are dictating our policies.
Some people may not agree with all his policies, but he's shown he has the conviction on doing what he thinks is right for America.
Obama has shown he's a push over and I don't think he has the backbone nor the fortitude to go against the status quo in Washington.
I'm hoping if Ron Paul does win the presidency, and if he finds his back is against the wall, he comes out fighting and spills the beans to the
American people and tells us who's pulling the strings behind the scenes in Washington. I think if he did that, a lot of people in this country
would rally around him.
He's an old insider that has seen a lot of corruption during his time in government. Sometimes when you get up in age, you get sick and tired of
people getting away with the same political bs. You start feeling like you have nothing to lose, and now its time to set the place on fire. It's
not about your personal safety anymore, it's about leaving this earth knowing you did something good for humanity.
I kind of feel like that about Ron Paul. He's not afraid to go against the grain. He's not afraid of people making fun of him or joking about his
policies. He knows he's right and he knows the majority of the people agree with his perspective on America.
