The American election cost 2 billion.

I'd say that alone pretty well removes any claim for America to be a truely democratic country.

To become president, you've got to raise such an enormous sum of money that you'll be owing massive favours to special interest groups for your entire term.

I wonder how much money the oil lobby gave Bush this time around?

I think it's pretty safe to say that any restrictions on CO2 emissions are not going to happen.
