American people are in need of a Robin Hood (and some merry men and women), to oppose and break the king's and corporations' stranglehold on Americans' lives and livelihoods. All applicants with integrity, noble heart and Green ideals welcome. No application necessary, just step up and start doing the job.

Op/Ed: Was Robin Hood the first Green? He’s depicted wearing green. He represents the people – by the people, for the people – against the king. He has integrity and honor. He takes from the rich (who stole for the poor) and returns it to the poor. He helps those who are oppressed and disadvantaged.
The sudden “grassroots” support for Obama, although misplaced, to me confirms that Americans know there are some real, serious and dire problems with their country and leadership. Americans are looking for a Robin Hood, to break the stranglehold that government and Wall Street have over their lives.
However, their trust in Obama is misplaced. Look at his track record – he said he would oppose FISA legislation that included retroactive immunity, and then (a) closes debate and (b) votes in favor of legislation that contains retroactive immunity. He voted in favor of the Patriot Act, twice, and the Intel Act. He also funded time and again invasion and occupation of Iraq.
So, will the real Robin Hood please step forward?
Perhaps, just maybe, a patriotic American can step up and be America’s Robin Hood, saving the otherwise unrepresented, taxed and over-legislated people, the second class “civilians” as we’re referred to often, from oppression of the government, abusive law enforcement, America’s King George, predatory, heartless Wall Street, and it's soon to be champion, the ex-junior senator from Illinois, hizzoner Pres. Obama.
Holding my breath...
