4 November 2008: At 10 am I was standing in line with about 200 of the sheeple, waiting to vote at the housing project community center. Most of those in line were black sheeple, but there was also a handful of Asians, Russians, Arabs and white trash. A muddy sea of bus drivers, warehouse workers, dishwashers, maids, janitors and the just plain idle. This is the Amerikan poor, with their well-worn clothes and dumb faces.
Today the poor supposed they counted the same as the rich. That’s why I say they have dumb faces. They think they have a friend in Obama.
“Well,” I said aloud, to no one in particular, “it looks like a great day for McCain.”
I laugh at my own joke.
No one joins me.
A minute or so later, after we shuffle forward a couple feet, a young black man says:
“Obama gonna change the future!”
A fair number of the poor nod their heads and mutter words of agreement.
“He can’t change something that doesn’t exist,” I say. “God holds the future, and it is outside the reach of man. Even the great Obama.”
The poor glower and shake their heads. An old black woman says:
“Dat right. God hold de future. But Obama a part of it.”
At this, the poor give me crooked grins, as if I am beaten.
“Then no doubt one or two standing here in this very line will have the great honor to die for Obama.” I look up and down the line. “I wonder who it will be? Who here will die, say, in Pakistan? Die on some Obama-ordained wild terrorist goose chase? Who will have their head sawed off for Obama by some North Waziristan tribesman?”
An awkward silence, then one of the poor says, rather angrily:
"Man, shut the fuck up!”
“Yeah, shut the fuck up,” a few more chorus.
You can’t tell the poor anything. Unless it is a football score, or where to buy a Lotto ticket. Otherwise, it’s useless.
So I shut up. Why not? Why not let the poor feel they count for a day?
Obama is the perfect gift from the rich to briefly amuse the poor. Just like the toys the poor give to their children. Shiny on the outside, but cheap as hell on the inside. The toy works for a day or two, then a spring or a gear breaks, and the thing is useless. And the poor once again realize they are poor. That’s their Obama. . .
It takes about an hour to get through the line. In the end, I vote for McKinney: a real black.
I love watching the incompetence and the chaos in the polling place. The poor planning never ceases to amaze. Look at those pathetic *voting booths:* cardboard pop-ups, crammed far too closely together. The fat sheeple crashing into each other. . .the paper ballots dislodged from the privacy folders, the ballots fall to the floor, stepped on by the next obese voter. . .look at the dirt shoe prints on their precious ballots for Obama! That's Amerikan democracy for you!
And don’t forget all the missing marking pens. . .and the slow-as-molasses election workers. . .and the sheeple waiting and waiting and waiting. . .and the frustration rising and rising and rising. All as if their vote matters. . .as if Obama matters.
Why do I bother? I ask myself this every election.
This time it is to pray for the poor.
God, do not let Obama crush them too badly. Open their eyes. Let them see who their hope truly is. Save a few of them. Especially that one. She has a sweet face. Her poverty, her low station in life, has not entirely dimmed the light of life our Lord gave her. There is still a sweet flicker of Your life on her face. Save this one, and salvage what You can of the rest. Amen.

Obama's New Campaign Theme Song
Bloomberg.com, 29 April 2008: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama denounced “ridiculous” statements made by the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, using his strongest language to date to distance himself from his former pastor. Obama cited Wright's contentions, repeated yesterday, that the government may have had a role in spreading AIDS in the black community, that U.S. actions overseas were partly to blame for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and about the importance of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Wright's statements “offend me, they rightly offend all Americans and they should be denounced and that's what I'm doing very clearly and unequivocally today,” Obama said in a news conference in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Wright's statements and past sermons have presented an obstacle for Obama as he tries to win over working-class white voters in the remaining Democratic primaries. Recorded snippets from some of Wright's sermons already have been used by Republicans in North Carolina against local Democrats. Obama and his rival, New York Senator Hillary Clinton, face their next test May 6 in contests in Indiana and North Carolina. Political analysts said the timing and content of Wright's remarks complicates Obama's efforts to broaden his base of support among white voters and may hurt him if he emerges as the Democratic nominee.
Wright has been pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where Obama has worshipped for two decades. He presided at Obama's wedding and at the baptisms of Obama's daughters. Until five days ago, Wright largely had stayed out of public forums since the controversy broke last month.
Obama said he was “shocked” by Wright's statements during a speech at the National Press Club yesterday in Washington. “The person I saw yesterday was not the person I had come to know over 20 years,” said Obama, an Illinois senator.
The candidate said he hadn't had a conversation with Wright before the news conference. He said he spoke to the pastor after giving a speech last month in Philadelphia in which he distanced himself from Wright's statements. In that speech, Obama said he wouldn't “disown” Wright even though he disagreed with his statements. “Obviously whatever relationship that I had with Reverend Wright has changed as a consequence of this,” Obama said today. “I don't think that he showed much concern for me; I don't think he showed much concern for what we're trying to do.”
And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest: And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto. But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Ha ha ha. . .almost since the day this fraud arrived in our *Shining City on a Hill,* riding in on the Democrat jackass to the *Hosannas* of the little stink-faced white Obama girls, I have told YOU this psychological misfit was a counterfeit. . .the Great Zero of the Hour. . .a Nothing Man lacking a core identity, which leaves him unable to take a principled stand and remain steadfast, because his psyche cannot risk offending anyone, excepting a scapegoat.
Forty-three days ago this scarecrow was hailed as one of the greatest orators of the age by our imbecilic Media for his cowardly *race* speech in which he spoke with a forked tongue in response to the initial Jeremiah Wright *scandal.* In that pandering testament, Obama disrespectfully rebuked his pastor, but unequivocally stated he could not *disown* him. . .in that *historic* speech (which will only be mocked, and not praised, if it is at all remembered in the coming years), Obama, not white, not black, but *yellow,* tried to betray Wright on the cheap, and not alienate his colored supporters, by sacrificing his own grandmother instead. . .his own grandmother, aged, sick, living alone in an apartment in Hawaii. . .his own grandmother, who had given many years of her life to the raising of this *boy,* this child of her *adventurous* daughter. He branded his own grandmother a racist in the eyes of all the world, and used her as the justification not to *disown* Jeremiah Wright:
I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.
But Media has crowed again on Jeremiah Wright. . .and now, just forty-three days after stating he could not disown his pastor, Obama denounces him, and states:
Obviously whatever relationship that I had with Reverend Wright has changed as a consequence of this. . .
But, Mr. Obama, as a consequence of what? Jeremiah Wright hasn’t changed in the last forty-three days. . .Jeremiah Wright hasn’t changed in the last twenty years. . .he has remained steadfast. . .he stands on principle. . .he retains the courage of his convictions.
My, my, look at the difference this time around. . .forty-three days ago Obama, a second-rate mulatto Janus, did him some fancy speechifyin’, in which he haughtily lectured the nation on race. . .now his cowardice is stripped bare of all his rhetorical mumbo-jumbo, which so dazzled our moronic Media. . .now, forty-three days later, we see, as in Peter in those dark hours on the night our Lord was betrayed, just the man’s naked fear. . .no fancy speeches, just a coward claiming he doesn’t know the man:
The person I saw yesterday was not the person I had come to know over 20 years. . .
Ha ha ha. . .what a liar! What a pathetic liar!
Forty-three days ago, Obama admitted he knew Jeremiah Wright. . .he admitted he knew Jeremiah Wright’s *controversial* views:
For some, nagging questions remain. Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes. Did I strongly disagree with many of his political views? Absolutely - just as I'm sure many of you have heard remarks from your pastors, priests, or rabbis with which you strongly disagreed.
But now Media has crowed on Jeremiah Wright again, and Obama fears this isn’t good enough to appease *working class* whites. . .so now he claims he never knew this Jeremiah Wright. . .
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
Sorry, Obama, you are trapped by your *brilliant* speech of forty-three days ago. . .
You knew him. You’ve known him for twenty years. You praised him in your ridiculous *memoir*--indeed, the title of your demi-*Mein Kampf* is lifted from one of his sermons. He presided at your wedding, he baptized your children. You sat in his church for twenty years and listened to his *controversial* views. . .just forty-three days ago you stated:
The man I met more than twenty years ago is a man who helped introduce me to my Christian faith. . .he has been like family to me.
Ha ha ha. . .like your grandmother, I guess!
I told YOU Obama could never take a principled stand and remain steadfast. He was literally terrified of alienating *patriotic* *working class* whites with his association with Jeremiah Wright. . .so now he lies and says he never knew him. . .Obama is a weak and pathetic man.
Obama will next have to fear abandonment from the angriest of Amerika’s blacks. . .they will not like Obama Tom-ing out on Jeremiah Wright. . .indeed, certain of the crankiest blacks were already voicing displeasure over Obama’s *whitewashing* of the Sean Bell verdict:
New York Post, 29 April 2008: Barack Obama made a call for nonviolence in the aftermath of the Sean Bell verdict - infuriating the Rev. Al Sharpton, who accused the presidential candidate of trying to “grandstand in front of white people,” sources told The Post. During what a source described as a “heated” phone call yesterday, Sharpton told Obama he was disappointed with the Illinois senator's words on Friday, when Obama said “resorting to violence to express displeasure” was “completely unacceptable and counterproductive.”
“[Obama] issues this statement and not a single rock had been thrown,” said a source. “How does the candidate of change ask people to accept a verdict that is unjust?” The source said Sharpton had hoped Obama would “side with the Bell family” and not use it as an “opportunity to grandstand in front of white people.”
Perhaps the cynical Obama is more than willing to trade the small *Sharpton* block of Amerikan voters for the large *working class* white block?
Now that he has denied Jeremiah Wright, Obama wants to *move forward:*
BlackAmericaWeb.com, 30 April 2008: Obama said he was distressed that controversy over Wright’s remarks has created a distraction from the real issues of the campaign.
“People want some help in stabilizing their lives and securing a better future for themselves and their children. And that’s what we should be talking about,” Obama said.
That’s right. . .Obama should have been talking about this all along. . .then none of this would have mattered. But Obama has never dealt with the *real issues*. . .he has only dealt in the empty phraseology of *Hope and Change.*
What has Obama ever offered as *hope* to the jobless? What has Obama ever offered as *hope* to those facing home foreclosure? What has Obama ever offered as *hope* to those facing bankruptcy? What has Obama ever offered as *hope* to those sick of war? What has Obama ever offered as *hope* to those without health insurance? What has Obama ever offered as *hope* to those concerned about the vulgar, grossly sexualized *topless Miley Cyrus* Amerikan culture?
Ha ha ha. . .Amerika is a spiritually dead, materially dying wasteland. . .her consumer zombies must now cannibalize one another to drag out their pitiful Wal-Mart lifestyles for a few more months. . .does the man of Hope and Change even dare address this?
Ha ha ha. . .Amerika is a gutter of alcohol, narcotics, pornography, racial discord, violence and abuse. . .does the man of Hope and Change even dare address this?
His pastor addressed these issues over the last twenty years, and the man of Hope and Change listened to the sermons. . .now he says the person I saw yesterday was not the person I had come to know over 20 years. . .in this, Obama is the typical pew-warmer. . .he listens to a Christian critique of the world on Sunday, then Monday morning, like a dog returning to its vomit, he goes right back out into the world and licks up its filth.
Had Obama ever offered even ONE plan to make a significant change to the dominant global economic system or the Military Media Complex, Jeremiah Wright never would have been an issue. Had Obama offered hope to redistribute wealth in Amerika, or to dismantle the Military Media Complex, the enormity of the debate it would produce would suffocate all the trivialities over Jeremiah Wright, *bitter* gun-loving whites, etc., etc.
Obama has only himself to blame for being bogged down in these trivial Media scandals. . .because he has nothing else to offer. . .this is the plight of the Hollow Man. . .
A man of cheap slogans bemoaning becoming scandalized by another man’s words? Please. Say something real for once, you pretentious puppet, then we can move on. Until that happens, this should be your campaign theme song:

Obama Betrays His Master With A Kiss
AP, 18 March 2008: Democratic Sen. Barack Obama on Tuesday tried to stem damage from divisive comments delivered by his pastor, while bluntly addressing anger between blacks and whites in the most racially pointed speech yet of his presidential campaign.
Ha ha ha. . .nothing has revealed the essential counterfeit of Obama more than this hollow man’s *race* speech. . .
After attending for twenty years a church pastored by a real black man, a man not afraid to shine a light on Amerika’s darkness, Obama is forced by his own ambitions to repudiate his pastor. . .the spiritual father Obama claims led him to Christ.
I remember the integrity of Mel Gibson, when he was being raked over the coals during the absurd The Passion of the Christ controversy. . .Media dredged up alleged anti-semitic remarks from his Gibson’s 85-year-old father, and demanded Gibson repudiate them. . .the Aryan talking head Diane Sawyer demanded Gibson condemn his father in a nationally televised interview. . .but Gibson refused to cower before Media, he refused to betray his own father. . .
Now let us look at the mulatto who would be President. . .let us see what he is made of. Media has discovered his angry black pastor, an honest man named Jeremiah Wright who stated the obvious of the famous *9/11:*
We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye. We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost.
There is no need to list all the supposed *controversial* remarks of Wright. . .they are only *controversial* to the sheeple. . .the sleep-walking *consumers* of Amerika, who have turned their ears and eyes from the sources of Amerika’s ill-gotten gains. . .the Amerikans’ queenly lifestyle has been extracted at great pain from the world’s poor. . .that an honest, plain-talking man like Jeremiah Wright is considered *controversial* only exposes the Amerikans’ collective denial.
Now Media chooses to bring Obama’s pastor to the attention of the sheeple. . .how does Obama react? Is he a man of intergrity, refusing to condemn his spiritual father? Does he instead demand Media focus on his own statements, his own career, his own campaign? After all, it is Obama who is running for President, not Jeremiah Wright. . .
Let us see how Obama reacts:
On the other end, we've heard my former pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, use incendiary language to express views that have the potential not only to widen the racial divide, but views that denigrate both the greatness and the goodness of our nation; that rightly offend white and black alike.
I have already condemned, in unequivocal terms, the statements of Reverend Wright that have caused such controversy. For some, nagging questions remain. Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes. Did I strongly disagree with many of his political views? Absolutely - just as I'm sure many of you have heard remarks from your pastors, priests, or rabbis with which you strongly disagreed.
But the remarks that have caused this recent firestorm weren't simply controversial. They weren't simply a religious leader's effort to speak out against perceived injustice. Instead, they expressed a profoundly distorted view of this country - a view that sees white racism as endemic, and that elevates what is wrong with America above all that we know is right with America; a view that sees the conflicts in the Middle East as rooted primarily in the actions of stalwart allies like Israel, instead of emanating from the perverse and hateful ideologies of radical Islam.
No moral integrity from Obama. . .he buckles from Media’s assault. . .he condemns his pastor. . .and then he creates for himself a second problem: how to explain sitting in a church for twenty years pastored by a man he strongly disagrees with? He has to lie.
YOU see, only those who have already dipped their tin cups into the barrel of Obama Kool-Aid can believe Barack disagreed or disapproved of his pastor’s remarks. . .to believe otherwise about Obama means YOU believe he sat patiently in the pew of Wright’s church for twenty years, tolerating views he found offensive. . .even allowing his children to be baptized by a man of *profoundly distorted* views.
No, Obama is a liar. . .
And a coward. . .for note how Obama, the peddler of *Change,* in an attempt to calm the fears of brainwashed white *consumers* and ultra-zionists, preaches Amerika’s safest, most acceptable doctrine of hate: blaming the conflicts in the Middle East on the *perverse and hateful ideologies of radical Islam*. . .
This is *Change?* Sorry, this is only the continuation of the most base policies of Bush: *we are good, they are evil*. . .scapegoating the muslims.
Obama insists he will bring *Change*. . .but in truth, all that Obama can change is himself. In this most recent speech, we see Obama changing himself in mid-stream. Because his own psyche, the product of his own fragmented sense of identity, depends upon his belief that he can be all things to all people, he must also seek to appease black Amerika. . .he cannot merely throw his spiritual father to the white dogs. . .he knows this would provoke a backlash from black Amerikans. So Obama also says of Jeremiah Wright:
I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.
What a forked tongue! What a cynical, ugly appeal to the worst of human nature! He tells black Amerika he cannot disown his pastor, and for good measure, tosses them an old white woman to maul. . .his own grandmother!
Ha ha ha. . .apparently Obama never met a racist he didn’t love.
YOU read Obama’s entire speech, and YOU want to vomit. . .a work of craven dissembling, gutter pandering and ambitious appeasing. . .
The Messianic tendency has been noted in Obama, but in his simultaneous disclaiming and claiming of his pastor, Obama reveals his true tendency: like Judas, he betrays his master with a kiss. . .
Ha ha ha. . .nothing has revealed the essential counterfeit of Obama more than this hollow man’s *race* speech. . .
After attending for twenty years a church pastored by a real black man, a man not afraid to shine a light on Amerika’s darkness, Obama is forced by his own ambitions to repudiate his pastor. . .the spiritual father Obama claims led him to Christ.
I remember the integrity of Mel Gibson, when he was being raked over the coals during the absurd The Passion of the Christ controversy. . .Media dredged up alleged anti-semitic remarks from his Gibson’s 85-year-old father, and demanded Gibson repudiate them. . .the Aryan talking head Diane Sawyer demanded Gibson condemn his father in a nationally televised interview. . .but Gibson refused to cower before Media, he refused to betray his own father. . .
Now let us look at the mulatto who would be President. . .let us see what he is made of. Media has discovered his angry black pastor, an honest man named Jeremiah Wright who stated the obvious of the famous *9/11:*
We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye. We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost.
There is no need to list all the supposed *controversial* remarks of Wright. . .they are only *controversial* to the sheeple. . .the sleep-walking *consumers* of Amerika, who have turned their ears and eyes from the sources of Amerika’s ill-gotten gains. . .the Amerikans’ queenly lifestyle has been extracted at great pain from the world’s poor. . .that an honest, plain-talking man like Jeremiah Wright is considered *controversial* only exposes the Amerikans’ collective denial.
Now Media chooses to bring Obama’s pastor to the attention of the sheeple. . .how does Obama react? Is he a man of intergrity, refusing to condemn his spiritual father? Does he instead demand Media focus on his own statements, his own career, his own campaign? After all, it is Obama who is running for President, not Jeremiah Wright. . .
Let us see how Obama reacts:
On the other end, we've heard my former pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, use incendiary language to express views that have the potential not only to widen the racial divide, but views that denigrate both the greatness and the goodness of our nation; that rightly offend white and black alike.
I have already condemned, in unequivocal terms, the statements of Reverend Wright that have caused such controversy. For some, nagging questions remain. Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes. Did I strongly disagree with many of his political views? Absolutely - just as I'm sure many of you have heard remarks from your pastors, priests, or rabbis with which you strongly disagreed.
But the remarks that have caused this recent firestorm weren't simply controversial. They weren't simply a religious leader's effort to speak out against perceived injustice. Instead, they expressed a profoundly distorted view of this country - a view that sees white racism as endemic, and that elevates what is wrong with America above all that we know is right with America; a view that sees the conflicts in the Middle East as rooted primarily in the actions of stalwart allies like Israel, instead of emanating from the perverse and hateful ideologies of radical Islam.
No moral integrity from Obama. . .he buckles from Media’s assault. . .he condemns his pastor. . .and then he creates for himself a second problem: how to explain sitting in a church for twenty years pastored by a man he strongly disagrees with? He has to lie.
YOU see, only those who have already dipped their tin cups into the barrel of Obama Kool-Aid can believe Barack disagreed or disapproved of his pastor’s remarks. . .to believe otherwise about Obama means YOU believe he sat patiently in the pew of Wright’s church for twenty years, tolerating views he found offensive. . .even allowing his children to be baptized by a man of *profoundly distorted* views.
No, Obama is a liar. . .
And a coward. . .for note how Obama, the peddler of *Change,* in an attempt to calm the fears of brainwashed white *consumers* and ultra-zionists, preaches Amerika’s safest, most acceptable doctrine of hate: blaming the conflicts in the Middle East on the *perverse and hateful ideologies of radical Islam*. . .
This is *Change?* Sorry, this is only the continuation of the most base policies of Bush: *we are good, they are evil*. . .scapegoating the muslims.
Obama insists he will bring *Change*. . .but in truth, all that Obama can change is himself. In this most recent speech, we see Obama changing himself in mid-stream. Because his own psyche, the product of his own fragmented sense of identity, depends upon his belief that he can be all things to all people, he must also seek to appease black Amerika. . .he cannot merely throw his spiritual father to the white dogs. . .he knows this would provoke a backlash from black Amerikans. So Obama also says of Jeremiah Wright:
I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.
What a forked tongue! What a cynical, ugly appeal to the worst of human nature! He tells black Amerika he cannot disown his pastor, and for good measure, tosses them an old white woman to maul. . .his own grandmother!
Ha ha ha. . .apparently Obama never met a racist he didn’t love.
YOU read Obama’s entire speech, and YOU want to vomit. . .a work of craven dissembling, gutter pandering and ambitious appeasing. . .
The Messianic tendency has been noted in Obama, but in his simultaneous disclaiming and claiming of his pastor, Obama reveals his true tendency: like Judas, he betrays his master with a kiss. . .

Where's Travis Bickle When You Need Him?
Time, 7 February 2008: We are the ones we've been waiting for," Barack Obama said in yet another memorable election-night speech on Super-Confusing Tuesday. "We are the change that we seek." Waiting to hear what Obama has to say — win, lose or tie — has become the most anticipated event of any given primary night. The man's use of pronouns (never I), of inspirational language and of poetic meter — "WE are the CHANGE that we SEEK" — is unprecedented in recent memory. Yes, Ronald Reagan could give great set-piece speeches on grand occasions, and so could John F. Kennedy, but Obama's ability to toss one off, different each week, is simply breathtaking. His New Hampshire concession speech, with the refrain "Yes, We Can," was turned into a brilliant music video featuring an array of young, hip, talented and beautiful celebrities. The video, stark in black-and-white, raised an existential question for Democrats: How can you not be moved by this? How can you vote against the future?
And yet there was something just a wee bit creepy about the mass messianism — "We are the ones we've been waiting for" — of the Super Tuesday speech and the recent turn of the Obama campaign. "This time can be different because this campaign for the presidency of the United States of America is different. It's different not because of me. It's different because of you." That is not just maddeningly vague but also disingenuous: the campaign is entirely about Obama and his ability to inspire. Rather than focusing on any specific issue or cause — other than an amorphous desire for change — the message is becoming dangerously self-referential. The Obama campaign all too often is about how wonderful the Obama campaign is.
Ha ha ha. . .Media is discovering it has created a messianic monster in this Obama *character*:
And yet there was something just a wee bit creepy about the mass messianism. . .
Media has given Obama a free pass for months, now, refusing to expose his hollow campaign. . .they have enabled his messianism by reinforcing his self-proclamation that he is the agent for *change.*
Obama cannot be an authentic agent for *change* because he is not an authentic person. . .he is a *character*. . .he has assumed a role. . .in point of fact, he bears a striking resemblance to a particular fictional character: Senator Charles Palantine of Taxi Driver.
Our Obama character says: We are the ones we've been waiting for. . .
The Palantine character says: We are the people. . .
Ha ha ha. . .where is Travis Bickle, when you need him?
Anyway, what, exactly, is this Obama person going to change? Nobody knows. Media never asks. He anointed himself as the Spirit of Hope and Change, and Media preached it endlessly to the masses.
Now, a few in Media, begin to ask what this character is all about. . .too late. . .too late. . .the spell has been cast.
The key to understanding Obama’s *inspirational language,* which enchants a growing segment of the uncritical Amerikan sheeple, is knowing its origin lies in Obama’s own magickal thinking.
As we have detailed before, Obama, neither black nor white, a product of multiple fathers and cultures, has no solid core identity. . .he is a Zero. . .an empty space, waiting to be filled. . .therefore, he can be all things to all people. . .he speaks of himself as *we* because there is no single Obama, there is no *I*. . .his identity is shaped by those around him. . .he becomes the crowd. . .he merges with the crowd.
The magickal thinker believes in the interconnectedness of all things through special *powers* that transcend *physical reality*. . .symbols, or in the case of Obama, symbolic language (*hope* and *change*) has this *special power* to connect us. . .the magickal thinker believes there is an actual power or energy created by the bonding of symbol which can alter *physical reality.*
Thus, such a one as Obama can never articulate a specific plan for *change* because of his constant need to be at one with the crowd, with the masses. . .
The rich, the poor, the urban, the rural, the blacks, whites, browns and yellows, the literate, the illiterate, etc., etc., all want different *change*. . .
For Obama to adopt a genuine policy, a genuine course of action, he would have to offend portions of the masses. . .the symbol of *hope* becomes broken once the referent has been exposed. . .some would then turn away from Obama, and walk with him no more.
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. . .These things said He in the synagogue, as He taught in Capernaum. Many therefore of His disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples murmured at it, He said unto them, Doth this offend you?. . .From that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him.
The hollow man, the Zero whose own identity depends on universal appeal, cannot risk alienating segments of the masses. . .if whites fall away, or the rural fall away, or the rich fall away, then parts of Obama himself fall away, also. . .his *we* becomes smaller. . .his confidence in his own *we-ness* is shaken. . .
Obama could never truly defend any principle or policy that did not have mass appeal. . .he could never take a truly divisive stand on immigration, for example, for whatever group felt victimized (whether it be poor brown skins or the paranoid white petit-bourgeoisie) would offer organized resistance. . .Obama’s fragile *we* psyche would crack. . .he would instantly offer some sort of appeasement (loftily labeled *democratic compromise*) to whatever special interest he had offended. . .Amerika would be forced to endure schizocracy, the rule by the schizophrenic. . .
Should Obama gain the Presidency, his magickal thinking would be massively assaulted by the concrete demands of the Office. . .it's one thing to play act on the campaign trail, it's quite another to actually have to become a functioning President. . .

Obama: The Zero Of The Hour
I watched the Republican and Democrat debates Saturday night from New Hampshire. . .I can see why a certain segment of the sheeple herd are mesmerized by the half-white, half-black Obama. . .he's even more polished than Bill Clinton. . .as slick as old Slick Willie was, there was always the scent of the trailer park about him. . .he may have put on the airs of the *policy wonk,* but you knew, deep down, he was all about Big Macs and chasing skirt.
But beneath Obama's shiny telegenic surface is a totally antiseptic soul. . .neither white nor black, there is a strange emptiness about the man. . .
Here is a fellow who has had an unusual upbringing: the son of an African man and an Amerikan white woman. . .parents divorce soon after his birth. . .the mother then marries an Indonesian. . .Obama spends his formative years in Hawaii and Indonesia.
And yet despite his unordinary background, the only thing unordinary emanating from him is his extraordinary sterility.
In particular, Obama seems eager to cleanse his years in Indonesia. . .there was controversy earlier surrounding the predominantly muslim school Obama attended in Indonesia. . .certain of the Amerikan Right Wing Christo-Zionist-Nationalist Alliance (The Weekly Standard neocon crowd) tried to paint the blank canvas that is Obama with the *muslim fanatic* brush. . .for a man who peddles *Hope* and *Change* for his daily bread, you would think Obama would leap at the chance to exploit his diverse background. . .he could have said his experiences in the muslim world made him the perfect candidate to *change* the course of failed Amerikan foreign policy, that he had the first-hand knowledge of muslim culture which would allow him to deal more effectively with muslim leaders and thus he could offer the *hope* of being able to repair Amerika’s damaged image in the muslim world.
But in testily responding to the charge he was educated in a madrassa, Obama failed to take the opportunity to highlight his personal experience in the muslim world. . .instead, he chose to point out that prior to attending the predominantly muslim school in Indonesia, he had attended a catholic school (ha ha ha. . .a generation ago, he would have had to deny he was catholic, as well).
To truly be an agent of *change* and *hope,* one must be confident in one’s own identity. . .this provides the strength to face accusers. Had Obama had such strength, he would have said to the neocon nuts:
“Yes, I went to a muslim school. . .and I am proud of it. The experience made me a more well-rounded person. I have nothing to be ashamed of or apologize for.”
Instead, Obama, Identity Zero, cries the muslim school experience is insignificant (how preposterous!). . .and was nullified by his prior attendance at a catholic school (how illogical!).
Obama’s soul is like two magnets whose similar poles push against each other, creating an empty space in between. . .not surprisingly, he has therefore mastered the dark art of empty phraseology.
*Hope* and *change:* this is the incantation he uses to spellbind the weakest minds of the sheeple herd.
He promises the beaten-down sheeple Avalon, but when the Election Day mist clears, they will see they are still stuck in dreary, depressed Ypsilanti, MI, Covington, KY, East St. Louis, IL, etc., etc., wherever, with no coin to pay their massive debt. . .and no relief from war. For though Obama crows about his anti Iraq war stance, when one listens to this political robot speechify (as he did Saturday night) about *actionable intelligence* (one of the darkest verses of empty phraseology), one can have no doubt this Zero Man will toe the Christo-Zionist-Nationalist Alliance line.
Obama is a consummate fraud. . .he is so counterfeit, he makes the ambulance chasing *populist* John Edwards seem like Huey Long.
*Hope* and *Change,* *Hope* and *Change*. . .two little words delivered telegenically are all that are needed to bewitch a fatigued, hopeless herd of Amerikan sheeple.
With Obama, the Zero of the Hour, the two words will push against each other, and never connect. . .
