Also, WHAT "change" does Obama represent? Other then the fact he is Black, can speak eloquently and is doing very well in the presidential primaries, he is almost identical to Hillary Clinton politically. How can Obama be for "change" when he's in bed with the same corporate sponsors such as the pharmaceutical, insurance and defense industry - the same industries that will block universal healtcare and keep your relatives in Iraq. Just asking.
Here are the facts conveniently ignored:
- On NBC's Meet The Press, Obama stated: "There is not much of a difference between my position on Iraq and George Bush's position."
- Obama endorsed Joe Lieberman over anti-war candidate Ted Lamont.
- Obama has an almost identical voting record as Hillary Clinton.
- Obama voted for re-authorizing the patriot act and continued to fund the Iraq war until recently.
- Obama gets tons of money from nuclear, military, coal, and private insurance interests.
- Obama stated all options are on the table against Iran and also stated he would expand our military to unprecedented levels.
People must be naive if they think Obama winning is a win for Black people. This is an example of delusion. So yeah, we can all buy in to the vague, often meaningless, inspirational messages Obama claims to represent. Or we can look at what he actually stands for - corporate cronyism.
I am disappointed (but not surprised) at many so called 'enlightened' folk falling for the fake progressive image of Obama. What's next? Is Bill Clinton a progressive now too? One should easily realize Obama is not for the common man nor is he a progressive candidate.
