I was listening to 'Red Ken' Livingstone today on the subject of Obama's presidency and he made what seemed like a valid point when he said that Obama's been hamstrung by a US Senate which is heavily 'influenced' by corporate America - hence the lack of progress on many key issues which don't suit the paymasters. Apparently it only takes 41 of the 100 senators to effectively block anything Obama wants to do so it's not difficult to imagine how this could be the case...
