That is a very harsh and angry thing to say, Lou. Very, very harsh, old
comrade, and I agree 100%. Maybe it is a function of my age, but I am
getting increasingly frustrated about the moments missed in US politics -
the moments that could have broken the two party stranglehold and propelled
us into a new era.
I am thinking of Nader's campaign and now the Sanders' campaign.
BTW, I must "confess to almighty god so help me Mary ever virgin", but I
watched Michelle Obama's speech. It was a brilliant rhetorical effort.
Looked at from the point of view of the aesthetics of spectacle - delivery,
appearance of speaker, reaction of crowd etc, this was very impressive. I
wept uncontrollably at times.
The problem was the lie at the heart of the speech. The central untruth lay
in the construction of the character Obama called "Hilary". The latter
bears no resemblance to the character we know as Hilary Clinton, the
mediocre and vicious careerist who will probably plunge us all into ever
more wars.
Ultimately it is the lie about Hilary which means that this was not a moral
effort. No amount of talk of slaves or black children playing on the lawns
of the White House can disguise the dirty deal the Obamas have done to
deliver a Clinton Presidency.
We will all pay.
Comradely
Gary
