    i find it GALLiNG, how Obama has been forced to kowtow to the American base: white, racist, religious nationalists. Saying some fucked up shit about his dedication to israel to satisfy powerful lobby groups.

    But i don't blame him. THiS iS AMERiCA. And it's pefectly democratic for him to have to compromise all his values to win an election. After all, he has to WiN OVER THE PEOPLE.

    You know how close he came to losing the nomination for being an intelligent black man? do you know how much of what McCain represents helps the heart of America sleep well at night?

    i don't see him having any other options. No matter how visionary and capable the candidate, he will always have to swim through the same slime. But the slime isn't the government. The slime is the people - mass politics - democracy.

    Just pray for his second term and see how he acts when he's got nothing to lose.
