Obama has done a pretty good job of suckering progressives into a temporary period of support. His mumbo jumbo is more sophisticated than Bush's gibberish but his deeds are at least as reactionary as those of Bush and possibly will turn out to be much worse.
Obama has pandered to the cause of justice in Palestine. Yet his State Department is orchestrating the siege of Gaza in Egypt! As I write, citizens of the world are being beaten down in the streets of Cairo by Mubarak, the shield of Israel, and Viceroy of Anglo-American intrigue. Why does Mubarak beat those seeking to break the siege of Gaza?, Why does he beat down his countrymen? To rule on behalf of the United States, Great Britain and international capitalist interests, to keep his
reactionary military regime in power and to work with Netanyahu on a "final solution" to the problem of the Palestinians in Gaza.
His military dictatorship is a largely unexamined aspect of tyranny in the Middle East. Obama is his boss.
Of course Obama can't contain his eloquence when it comes to demanding democracy in Iran. Yet, like his supposed interest in the liberation of women, this is just a deception a tool of the empire. If he cared about democracy he wouldn't be supporting dictatorships in Afghanistan, Honduras, Egypt and Saudi. Why doesn't he cry out for democacy in those lands? It is just a sly manuever and his silly smile sort of reminds me of Bush's silly smile. Both Presidents smile as if they sort of know they are just stuffed suits reading what is in front of them. The only difference is that Bush was at the back of the class and Obama was at the front.
As for Michele Obama she has no independence, no autonomy and is just watching after her man. I guess it is good if you can get it but she is no Eleanor Roosevelt. She is pretty much in the baking cookies mode as far as I can tell. At least Mubarak's wife got a few folks into Gaza. Michelle is thus far, useless to progressive causes of any kind.

OBAMA AND AXELROD HAVE CYNICALLY EXPLOITED PROGRESSIVE SUPPORTERS
As Obama turns his back on the problem of Global Warming in Copenhagen it is almost impossible to continue wondering if this leader is progressive in any way other than in the hopes of his often progressive supporters.
Turning his back on all humanity and the future of our species was not enough for the well spoken closet reactionary from Hawaii. His pseudoprogressive medical bill consolidates the the alliance between big government and the industries who want to shake down the American people so they can profit by denying healthcare. Now the government will criminalize those who don't pay their full share to the insurance, pharma, and hospital rackets.
Then Obama's escalation of the war in Afghanistan is an obvious sign that he is
just another imperialist war lord. Enough said, imperialist war lords are not
progressives!
Of course Obama's complete sell out to finance capital and Wall Street is his and Congresses overarching crime against democracy, liberty and justice.
Obama also seems to be preparing the public for a more open war with Iran. He has done nothing for the Palestinians.
In Latin America Obama has led an offensive against democracy and justice from Central America to South America. His regime supported and/or led the coup in Hondurus and the subsequent regime. He is laying the basis for a more open war on Venezuela and the continued enslavement of Colombia.
Of course Obama is different than Bush in many cultural and social ways. He is also a good reader of his script whereas Bush was the opposite. But these pleasant and shiney differences are trivial compared to Obama's reactionary policies and his political philosophy which leaves truly progressive Democrats out in the cold.
That is the role of the Democratic Party in the United States. It is a dead end road for progressive hopes, decade after decade. When will we learn? Obama is, in substance, little different than Clinton, maybe worse.

THE AUDACITY OF HIS MAJESTY, EMPEROR OBAMA
Obama's decision to escalate the war in Afghanistan underlines in double red lines his fundamentally reactionary politics. While pandering to progressive social issues he has behaved as an imperialist leader rather than a stealth progressive.
Obama's face needs to be crossed out and his name removed from the list of potentially progressive Democrats. His fate is to be that of President Johnson but with any luck his reactionary health care denial scam will also be defeated.
Obama is not progressive and those who follow him are following a reactionary man who has the audacity to prosecute imperialist wars and the hope that he will not lose the support of freedom loving progressives for it.
Of course those who advocate liberation and liberty can hardly rely on the eloquent confusion of Obama's statements. Nor has his complete refusal to see Afghanistan debated and to simply act like a King been a cause for anything but disgust, rejection and rebellion.
The Imperial Decree of Obama has gone forth to his Generals who, of course, debated it among themselves. The sovereign American people were completely left out and are hence, obviously not sovereign at all.
I think, progressives should support political struggle for the sovereignty of the American people here in the United States.
Congress, the White House and Supreme Court are all in the pockets of those with deep pockets, here at home and abroad. Virtually every elected or appointed official is bought-and-sold. At the end of the day Obama is just another capitalist politician, a bought and sold politician running a destructive capitalist juggernaut as best he can.
Meanwhile, refusing to renounce the Monroe Doctrine, Obama positions military and intelligence forces for the reconquest of Latin
America with Honduras and Colombia being the two new beneficiaries of Yankee bases and military build ups.
People throughout the world see thorough his pseudoprogressive hypocrisy. I hope we can do the same thing here in the United States and build a progressive movement that the Democrats can never betray!
