OK, so, so far pretty much every individual who makes it to a top position of power, seems to start out with good intentions, only to take a dive on their policies, principles and decency (illegal wars, increasing internal monitoring, no roll back of victimless crimes, etc etc). How could John be potentially any different? Perhaps he could have a 24/7 audio and video broadcast, in real time, so the citizenry can monitor him at all times? Perhaps someone could ask him a long list of Policy/Accountability Promises Questions, and then he can be slashdot-questioned every 2 months on his performance on every one of his platform positions? Has this guy been compromised already? (Compromising sex pictures, drug charges kept under the table, monetary bribes/compromise.) How can the usual types of compromise, which evidently occur for most (all?) USA presidents in the last century, be handled by We the People? Would love to see some possibility of A Better Obama...
