Everything I would want to say, but smarter:<\/a><\/p>\n

If Clinton was a triangulator, then Obama is a tetrahedralizer, ie, he does it in 3D. Not even Dick Morris could get Ken “cakewalk” Adelman, Scott McClellan, Colin Powell, and will.i.am on his boss’s side. Obama owes his entry into national politics to Holy Joe, the patron saint of Big Insurance, yet “that one” excites throngs of admirers on his left. Why? Is it his promise to expand the war in Afghanistan? Or his plan to increase the size of the army by 90,000? Or his coddling of terrorists (yes, I mean the health insurance lobbyists)? Or is it his pro-wiretap vote? Or his pro-death penalty stand? Or his tax cuts for all but quarter-millionaires? Or his willful neglect of the poor, a class of subhumans unworthy of even a passing mention in his campaign?<\/p>\n

Rarely has the word ‘change’ been so devoid of content. Obama’s agenda is Republicanism minus the insanity.<\/p>\n

True, McCain offers his rival the advantage of running against a certified lunatic, a cranky coot even nuttier than Bush. With Joe Lieberman at State, John Bolton at DoD, and John Yoo in SupremeLand, every day of a McCain-Palin administration would be Halloween in America: Trick or Shriek…….<\/p>\n

But this miraculous story should not make us miss the forest for the trees. The reality is that racial segregation is back to the levels of the sixties and that black poverty has been on a steady increase for the past quarter-century. White Obamania is a cheap thrill, much cheaper than actually doing something about America’s blighted neighborhoods. Obama’s promise of a tax cut for everyone was code for “Fear not, white man, I won’t do a thing for the Hood.” We all got the message. Does a black president mean the problem can be solved or the problem has been solved?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
