Of Obama, Democrats, and the Power Elite

Barrack Obama stands poised to become the Democratic candidate for President of the United States, which, in the political climate in the USA right now would seem to insure a certain electoral victory and rocket rise into the Oval Office. As this scene of "change" unfolds it would probably be important for the electorate to look at the phenomenon of Obama within the context of the American Plutocracy, and the reality of who really controls the levers of power within the Republic.

OPINION: Charismatic, articulate, smooth and intelligent, Barrack Obama is the living embodiment of his vague, ethereal, and tantalizing messages of “hope” and “change.” To the millions upon millions of US Americans desperate to purge the naked imperialism and blatant criminality of the Bush administration from the White House, Obama IS hope and change. Yet like many establishment liberals before him, Obama is no cure for the malignant creep toward fascism plaguing our nation. If elected, at best he will merely serve to postpone the inevitable a bit.

To understand why Obama and the ilk he took with him to DC would be little or no better than the human excrement currently occupying the tangible, visible positions of power in the US, let’s examine various facets of Obama and of our rotten-to-the-core sociopolitical and socioeconomic systems.

Issue one is that Obama or no Obama, we are still stuck with a bourgeois democracy. Which means that despite all the rhetoric and mythologies about equality, freedom, meritocracy, opportunity, and a host of other lies that placate the masses and maintain the social order, the United States is a nation of the rich, by the rich and for the rich.
