This is What You Call Structural Change

This policy outline by Obama, and this endorsement of him, make me feel better about the prospect of an Obama presidency than anything else I've read or heard. The candidates have all kinds of dreamy stuff to say about what they're gonna do in office, but if the underlying problems with our system are ever going to be fixed, this is the kind of thing it will take. My biggest fear about the post-Bush era is that as much of an improvement as any not-Bush president will be, the mess he's leaving with respect to balance-of-power might never be cleaned up.

Democracy has to cure in sunlight if you really want it to adhere well and endure.
