So who's running the country now?

[KansDem]

Reports have surfaced since the election that raises doubt that W is in charge. So who's really running the country now?

[LiberalEsto]

1. Other. Cabal of super-wealthy

behind-the-scenes rethugs, Saudis, etc.

[solara]

2. The same people who have been running it all along

NPAC

[raging_moderate]

3. I voted

The Carlyle Cartelle, going all the way back to Nixon's and Bush's involvement in the Kennedy assasinations, Viet Nam, Watergate, Iran Contra, toppling governments in Iran and Iraq, and on and on.

4. Good call!

I forgot about that entity when I formed the poll.

And welcome to DU! :hi:

[Graybeard]

8. Bulls-eye on your first post! Welcome to DU.

Shadow government aka Carlyle Group.

10. Hi raging_moderate!!

[Justpat]

11. Welcome to DU

I agree that is the Carlyle group that has been running things
for twenty five years.

5. At the moment, nobody.

It is just sort of contiunuing on its own monentum.

[KansDem]

6. "President Inertia" (eom)

[Peace Patriot]

7. I wanted to add China in there somewhere with the Saudis. They own us,

too.

And I got distracted by other possibilities.

Osama bin Laden.

Iran.

M16.

Blackwater.

Bill Clinton. (There's actually an argument to be made...)

But I'm ending up favoring Redbear's "nobody." Drifting, as the rats flying from the sinking ship consolidate their Cayman Island accounts, burn up the shredders in the White House basement, and consult top lawyers.

9. still the saudis and the same international bankers

they just traded in the hummer for an escalade

l'il george is still the hood ornament

12. "Who Really Controls America" by George Carlin

A good rant, by the great comedian George Carlin:

He says it's mainly the corporations and in general, wealthy interests. I agree with Carlin.

13. How come those who said GW Bush is running the country didn't say why they feel that way?
