Obama
is the Nowhere Man
by Willaim Rivers Pitt
"So, yeah, Obama is in.
He officially threw his hat into the 2012 election ring on Monday
morning,
and the nation reacted with a resounding, 'Oh.' What a mess. It wasn't
even two and a half years ago.
Can you believe it?
Two and a half years ago, there was
a detonation of optimism that echoed across the country once
the returns were in on that November night. People took to the streets
here in Boston, literally banging
pots and pans together as they danced and shouted in celebration ...
Hindsight, however, tells us today
that much of that optimism was wildly misplaced. The long shadow of
George W. Bush still hung low
and dark over the land, as it does even now.
This is a good article - but Truthout.org was down when I tried to read the whole story.
I wrote to them and suggested they switch their ISP to Perkel, but I didn't get an answer.
BTW, just for clarification - I'm voting for Obama next year.
He's smart enough to know we have nowhere else to go - that's why he treats us like shit.
