Obama at the Democratic National Convention, 2004. The corporate media and fellow politicos simply consecrated him, overnight, as the new “tribune of the people.” His nomination was more like a coronation.

“Of Obama, Democrats, and the Power Elite”
[dropcap]C[/dropcap]HARISMATIC, ARTICULATE, SMOOTH, AND INTELLIGENT, Barack 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.
