Obama's slips are beginning to show

Barak Obama's an inspirational speaker, no one denies. The crowds of the young and the middle aged and the old shout as though they were in a revival meeting, 'Yes, we can!' It is an impressive sight to see so many happy, cheering faces of the choir. Yet in his pep talk last night after winning small states, senator Obama strayed from the path of the righteous, in his attempt to distance himself from the old politics and usher him into the White House as the knight in shining armour. 'I don't take corporate contribution' or that effect says he, but the humble donations from people like you. And the crowd roared with self satisfaction. Obama never stops of short of self idolatry! Well, we do know that he is in the pocket of Goldman Sachs who are heavily funding him. And he does hop to the tune of the nuclear industry ever so eager to build nuclear power plants and inject nuclear waste into the economy. We do know his associations with slumlords, and his unwillingness to say when and how we're going to get out of Iraq. And then, there is his healthcare plans...Voluntary let it be says he as he echoes mini mouse Bush's line and makes the assurance vampires happy to collect premiums and short change those of us with their assurance plans on care and payment. No, Barak Obama has much to explain...but will his feet be held to the fire to say what he really believes? 18Brumaire is not holdings its breath!
