"The reason people aren't backing Obama on the public option, Moore said, is that "he's only going halfway with this public option. He needs to remove the private, profit-making insurance companies from the table."
In his new film, Moore focuses on the investment house Goldman Sachs as a main beneficiary of capitalism's largesse. He notes that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and senior White House economic adviser Lawrence Summers are proteges of Robert Rubin, longtime Goldman executive and President Bill Clinton's Treasury secretary.
"The fact that Geithner and Summers are part of this administration makes everything that happens open to question and needs our vigilance," Moore said, "because, literally now, the foxes are guarding the henhouse." "

Wonderland Dialogue via SFMOMA
some of the comments are quite interesting:
Ranu Mukherjee Says:
As part of one of the artist teams in Wonderland, I want to mention that this blog opens up an interesting and important conversation to a public, which has been going on within the various agencies involved with the project for some time, starting with the Tenderloin’s Community Benefit District who are its fiscal sponsors.
We are considering the terms of our engagement here constantly. My experience thus far has been anything but distanced and disengaged. We have been working and talking with many amazing people of all ages who live, work and/or go to school in the neighborhood. I would consider these to be sustainable affective relationships. Art is not a new presence in the Tenderloin by any stretch of the imagination and out of respect to those who have contributed their voices to this project, I hope that the questions raised here will not overshadow the ability of visitors to connect.
The opening for this show will be during the day and include a block party in Boedekker Park on Ellis Street. There will be a symposium the following day during which, hopefully this conversation can go live!"
read the original article here. I have more to say on this article but am deep in the midst of organizing other aspects of Wonderland. Hopefully soon I will post something more in depth.
