I said the corruption took on a different form under Bush. As far as 9/11 goes I simply question why building 3 collapsed. Plus those building did indeed fell like a demolition project. I differ with you on Michelle Obama in that just her being there (presidents wife) (black) changes the perception of some.
I fail to see where you said that corruption took on a different form under Bush, but that aside, I agree to the extent that each president has taken on his own forms of corruption, with the exception of pandering to some aspect of big business, which every president from Washington to Obama has done. Money is power and every president by nature craves power, not one being an exception.
Your point on Michelle Obama is well taken. She is a focal point that highlights the rapid changes this country has gone through in less than a century. Her family is one of the multi-generational wealthy elite who show that the capitalist system is colour blind for those who take initiative and use it under the great American system. She shows that the racist mentality that would once have kept her poor and far from ever taking up residence in the White House has died out. She is an iconic reflection of the large and fast growing population of black people who are now counted among the wealthy elite in America. This did not happen in the last year, it has been building up for generations, and she and her parents are the proof of it. Long live the America that produced Michelle Obama under Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, and Kennedy!
