Me And Barack
Last week I was explaining to a very good friend my position on Obama and his chances of actually being nominated, or elected. I am told she was somewhat taken aback by my arch position. It is possible she thinks I dislike the candidate. After all, I stated my belief he is a fascist.
I personally like the man. I want very much for Obama to be the man many people believe him to be.
If I had only two choices in November, he would get my vote. (Thank god I have more than two choices.)
I love it when he shoots his mouth off and says stuff like Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount tells him that Jesus would have no problems with gay marriage. It’s true! It’s damned controversial too! A tough sell in the Bible Belt! The last thing Christians want to hear is the truth of Christ’s teachings. But, I digress.
Anyway, the “handlers” come in and spin what he actually said into something more palatable to the wider audience.
Actually listening to our enemies’ concerns without all the BS posturing? What an excellent idea! Oops! Here come the handlers.
When the government/corporate media jumped on the Rev. Wright for essentially telling an uncomfortable truth, these handlers told Obama to cut the man loose.
Again, I would love to see a man with his moral character and vision elected president. Unfortunately, with Obama, we get all the handlers too. OK, so maybe Obama isn’t a fascist—I misspoke—his administration will be.
One of Obama’s advisers is a fellow named Zbigniew Brzezinski (pronunciations differ), one of the founders of the Tri-Lateral Commission. If you think the Council on Foreign Relations—of which McCain and Obama are both members—holds goals contrary to America’s, Google the TLC. These guys invented the “New World Order” Bush the First spoke so fondly of.
The guys who advised Bush are advising Obama. There will be no fundamental differences in Obama’s presidency. His handlers will not allow it.
Hope will not make it so.
