Wrong on all counts. Wright sabotaged Obama. Some folks I have talked with claim he did this deliberately, whereas I assumed he was just trying to promote himself. Obama is just another wouild-be administrator of the neoliberal order, perhaps less slimy than Clinton. Wright is a nationalist poweconditioned to do, Pavlov-style. Obama should never have been a candidate, and black and white workers should have supported Edwards, but the media set up the contest between Clinton and Obama, and the electorate responded like obedient puppies. As a result, American democracy is done for, and the electorate will get what it deserves. I don't deserve it, though. At 09:44 AM 5/6/2008, Charles Brown wrote: >Maybe Rev.
