At a critical and REVEALING point in Obama’s campaign he veered violently to the right, selling out his grassroots base and methodologies in the process. Obama not only accepted HUGE financial support from BIG business and status quo powers he embraced aspects of their ideology. As a result he was rightly accused by disillusioned supporters, commentators and analysts of disingenuous and traitorous behaviour -- his INTEGRITY took a severe battering from which it has not recovered. Obama has made no effort to date to redeem his former reputation by proving his accusers wrong – but why should he now, he has ‘won’ the race to the White House? Political expediency, not justice or integrity, wins the day in America!
The American propaganda machine is working overtime to background any compromising information and focus more on the puppy Obama promised his daughters if he won the presidency – are Americans really so easily distracted and duped? Think for a moment of the sons and daughters lost to countless loving parents as a direct result of the policies of the previous administration!
Regardless of the subterranean consciousness level of the average American the world is not easily duped -- the SOULS of a MILLION MURDERED INNOCENT MEN, WOMEN and CHILDREN (who will never see a puppy) DEMAND JUSTICE!
Obama would be well advised to take up the banner held aloft by Martin Luther King and other champions of social justice. Allowing Cheney and the rest to avoid accountability brands the future president as one of the fold, skin colour has nothing to do with it – have we so soon forgotten Colin 'Tom' Powell's deceptive performance at the UN or Condi Rice’s complicity in the deaths of hundreds of innocent children in South Lebanon – blacks are no less able than whites when it comes to duplicity, murder and crime? Infanticide remains the most heinous crime of all, regardless of the skin colour of the perpetrator!
The number (hundreds of thousands) of children that have died in Iraq as a direct result of the policies of Clinton and Bush is appalling and dwarfs the efforts of Bolton and Rice in Lebanon, notwithstanding that one child’s death is one too many.
If I am the last person on God’s earth to be offended by these ghastly crimes then so be it; I will never relent in my accusations and calls for justice. I would add that American commentators who know better are conveniently ignoring these issues at present, are you so exhausted, browbeaten, numbed and DEFEATED, or are you just plain star-spangled DENIERS?
A previous article (link below) portrayed Obama as the perfect replacement for the abrasive and criminal Bush regime. However, the author stated Obama is a FAKE, an intentionally chosen “palliative:”
“A palliative (from the Latin palliare, ‘to cloak’) is a form of medical care or treatment that concentrates on reducing the severity of disease symptoms, rather than halting or delaying progression of the disease itself by providing a CURE” – how perfectly accurate!Could the author possibly be inferring that by embracing the status quo and the same Bilderberg, AIPAC elites Obama is a FAKE? Or is it perhaps Obama’s ‘deafening’ SILENCE and INACTION on the issue of war crimes and other crimes against humanity committed by the previous administration?
