I see it, he is endangering himself far, far more with these little "hints."

Haha, it reminds me of a kidnap victim trying to secretly ask for help.
My question is ... what was the context?
Now sure, Democrats have their pockets filled by special interests, but NOWHERE NEAR to the level of Republicans. Democrats are inconsistent because half of them are bought and paid for and half of em aren't.

I have a friend who campaigned like a dog for Obama.
Elderly lady, anti-corporation, gay rights advocate, dog rescuer, pays to spay and neuter pets in the neighborhood,
the soul of charity.
Absolutely thrilled that the first family would get a shelter dog.
Overjoyed that gays would get equal rights.
Ecstatic that corporations would lose their overwhelming influence.
Then came the gift of a Portugese Water Dog from a political dynasty, the defense of the DOMA, and an Oval Office full of lobbyists.
Now when the President is mentioned, her smile vanishes into a tight, thin line. It's sad. I feel sorry for her loss.

I couldn't agree more, but when I watched the speech the public just clapped obliviously to his little hint. That little hint he dropped about trying to overcome influences from "powerful interests dominating the agenda of Washington", those "powerful interests" he speaks of are probably the bankers; I liked how he said they aren't happy with him and speak of him "like a dog", very enlightening.
