political speak. I commend you for confronting him; but I don't see the reason for optimism that you do. If he is so close to the NYC Fire Department how is he just becoming aware of the explosions? If he has known about them, how can he view them with such aloof ambiguity? What is he doing about it? Someone in his position of power could immediately put this on the front burner of the nation's consciousness with one brief speech on the House floor.

He was right to point out that if the people want accountability they have to demand it. However, he conveniently forgot to mention that the party he admits he is so loyal to, the Republicans, along with the Democrats, have conspired to increasingly entrench themselves in power and insulate themselves from challenge, giving people plenty of reason to sink into apathy and making it inordinately difficult for those who are not apathetic to force accountability upon the ruling class.

In the meantime, the killing continues, our rights continue to erode, and our wealth continues to be plundered.

Again, congratulations on your passion and courage; but anymore than a hopeful, desperate confidence in this man is sadly misplaced.
