Leftist critique of Obama
Ari Kaufman
In a telling article, a black leftist intellectual Ivy League professor, Adolph Reed Jr., writing in far left magazine, The Progressive, slams Obama and explains why he is unfit for the presidency. Why, you might ask, would this man, who would seemingly form the base of Obama's cult, see through him? He's knownObama his entire political career.
One excerpt of this great read:
"...as many Progressive readers may know, I'm hardly a Clinton fan. I'm on record in last November's issue as saying that I'd rather sit out the election entirely than vote for either her or Obama. At this point, though, I've decided that she's the lesser evil in the Democratic race, for the following reasons: 1) Obama's empty claims to being a candidate of progressive change and to embodying a "movement" that exists only as a brand will dissolve into disillusionment in either a failed campaign against McCain or an Obama Presidency that continues the politics he's practiced his entire career; 2) his horribly opportunistic approach to the issues bearing on inequality-in which he tosses behaviorist rhetoric to the right and little more than calls to celebrate his success to blacks-stands to pollute debate about racial injustice whether he wins or loses the Presidency; 3) he can't beat McCain in November.

Remember "Billionaires for Bush"? These certainly existed somewhere but never enumerated were the Billionaires for Kerry; Buffet for one, Turner, Peter Lewis, Chaim Saban, Jobs, Heinz-Kerry of course, Trump, Winfrey, Eisner... Who am I missing? I don't think Gates went public in '04 but it seems he is usually a reliable Dem. Horrors!

Are we seeing rich guilt as the latest version of white guikt?

The "rich" have a way of profiting from whichever party is in power, and some do quite well with high tax policies favored by Democrats (such as the inheritance tax that often forces a small family business to be sold at a basement price to a vulture such as Buffet in order to pay the death tax due the government).

My concern: Rezko and Nadhmi Auchi. All the money Obama has, can any be traced to Nadhmi Auchi? Will anyone try?
