Obama and Exelon...is this his vision of change?

I'll vote for either candidate come November and I will do so with enthusiasm. I wish I could join in the euphoria surrounding wither candidate, but I consistently find myself drifting back to the harsh reality of the political landscape. The latest article in the Sunday New York Times only confirms my worst fears about Obama that he is nothing more than yet another politician willing to compromise away principles in name of big name corporate donors and blind ambition. He's no different than Hillary and if this is his version of change nothing much will when he becomes president.
I'm sure this latest article will be labeled a hit piece by many Obama supporters, but the article shows clearly how Obama has misled voters about his record in the Senate over his Nuclear legislation. I know excuses will be made about how he only did what he could and how what else was he supposed to do, but the simple fact remains that when it came time to choose between the voters or the big donor, he sided with the big donor. Excelon. BTW, Obama is the candidate whose alternative energy plans include nuclear, but we never hear about that either, do we!
I am so frustrated with Obama supporters that proclaim him the be carrying the legacy of so many great leaders in the history of this country. When in fact like Hillary he's just another good politician with good intentions for the US, but also he's an individual who is willing to compromise principles in the name of amibition. Yeah, I supported Edwards, so call this a hit piece if you will, but that only displays your own arrogance and ignorance. BTW I'm not going to post excerpts, just go read the article.
