@ Masterkrain – it wasn’t until SCOTUS ruled in favor of corporations that Superpacs like the one depicted here and under Mr. Ramirez could form. Money has always been a corrupting part of politics, now it’s just gotten worse.^ (cut and paste from my comment under Ramirez…..)If you can’t fight the gov’t by superpac, join gov’t by superpac.Eisenhower warned about the use of money in politics in his farewell address. We have indeed gotten to the point where we have the best gov’t money can buy…it’s just that the people buying the gov’t are the ones who are remodeling it. The SCOTUS did not do our nation a service with their Citizen’s United ruling.Respectfully,C.
I thought it was going to be all about Hope and Change?I don’t see any Change( and apparently neither do you).As far as Hope, Americans are still Hoping that O can keep the promises he made during his campaigns.
Just contact your Congressperson for a tour ticket. But who gets a “sleepover” has always depended on “contributions”. Of course, in 1812 the British did the biggest makeover of the house, Cheney just tried to sell it, and now Boehner is still looking for offers.

I’m guessing Truman… but I still don’t like the trend.
