Excellent commentary by Lou Dobbs over at CNN- “Dobbs: Will the Democrats save their souls?” A very good read!

Quotes from that article:

—The ascension of the so-called Lou Dobbs Democrats in the November election gave hope to many that our representatives and senators were awakening to the need to represent the largest single group of voters in the country, 150 million working men and women and their families. The reality is, however, corporate America and special interests still dominate our legislative and electoral process.

—Corporate America will fight as hard to control the Democratic agenda as it has to control the Republican agenda in Washington. Of great service to their efforts will be the “think tanks” bent on preserving the status quo and the all-but-absolute domination of corporate America over our political process.

—About one-third of the families in this country bring in less than $35,000 of income each year, according to the Census Bureau, a figure that’s nowhere close to ensuring the quality of life and standard of living to which many Americans have grown accustomed. I fear the American Dream may finally become the American Pipe Dream.
