The powers that be are much bigger than any president, so to buck the sytem will be very tough, but it would be to everyone's benefit (regardless of party affiliation) to change what is clearly NOT working.

Instead of bitching about Obama, months before he even takes office, perhaps intelligent people can look beyond shallow and ignorant political party loyalties, and come together for a common good.

It is time to move on... oil is yesterday's power.
