Yes, I was all about Obama in Texas, but that was just because I wanted to see if a half-black man could win the primary/caucus hodown in the Lone Star, which he did. For me, it was all about the historical moment, and there was no way I would support a Clinton after their fiasco in Waco. Hillary will always be a baby killer to me.
But now the dust has settled, I expected Obama to shift to middle, but I never expected him to sell out the social contract of the country.
Back in the day, I first gained notice of Obama when he ran as a state assembly man after a stint of Constitutional Law. I am a big fan of the Constitution, though most people view it as an outdated documented. Foolishly, I doubt Obama was a man who practiced what he preached.
The roots of damage and decay in our republic is that of the raise of a corporate state, where the rights and privilages of a the corporate entity now out ranks that of the private citizen. This is foolish beyond belief and will lead to our eventual ruin.
For about two generations now, the raise of the corporate state has slowly brought ruin to every strata of our society except the ruling elite, who, of course, control the ruling interests of the land.
It is the corporate state that disguises itself in other political norms so it will never lose power, a chameleon who changes as per the pendulum swings. Its only goal is to keep the true agenda for its own end, which is corporate profit over social good.
They care not who makes the law, as long as they control them.
I thought Obama was beyond their control, a firebrand riding the backs of the populace to power. But with his two revelations last week, concerning corporate accountability and the fund raising schemes of the camapaign, he showed that his faux progressivism was just a means to get the nomination, he never believed it.
He showed he would bend for his corporate paymasters, and allowed them to pay him for that favor.
It reminds me of Bush, who pretended to be a small government conservative, only to get in office to further corporate interests.
Obama, who pretended to be a progressive, is just using it further corporate interests when he gets elected.
Obama is just a corporate gate keeper, who comes from the left, crushing any hope we can break the cycle.
He is the final chapter of the death of the republic democracy, now kneel before our corporate masters.
