You're giving credit to Obama then? ;)

In that he fucked up badly enough for the rest of the nation to wake up? Sure!

And what's the criteria by which you define "more oligarchic - less oligarchic"?

In that the Tea Party was the truest grassroots movement we've had in a long time, and their power helped broaden the power base.

The folks who think we're anything resembling an oligarchy either don't know what an oligarchy is, don't understand how the US works, don't understand who the players in the US are, or some combination thereof.
