My broda, The man is been pushed all over the place. Not long ago the American-Jewish lobby began consultation regarding whether they can "risk" supporting him, because of his palpably lack of supporting their causes and interests. Election 2012 is at the corner. Even an unknown Hermain Cain is causing an hurricane, propelled by the forces of the Koch brothers, so the Brother is trying to survive, no longer on principle but on the sweet pie of staying in power. If brother cannot find a way to establish kinship in Israel, as he has with Ireland, China, Kenya, etc, he can at least act to establish political and symbolic kinship. Cut brother some slacks! You think it was for nothing Ghaddafi stayed for 42 years, who no like better thing, na brother own go be like the "Crater of Carter?" Yes, we can, yes we must stay on for another four years of marking time and presiding over debacles- tossed all over from left, right, center, east, west, north, and south and continue sounding like the whistling palm! It is such an era! Blame brother some, but don't blame brother all. One man can hardly change an inbuilt system to be Yes, we can. Else who would imagine that almost Four years thence that under a brother, "Occupy D.C" would even have surfaced when all should have been the glamor of paradise, superseding the Clinton's El Dorado era! Brother better acts not like brother to survive. But brother is not alone. You, me, us, we all try to act "uppity," even with pitched darkened pigmentation, and growling accents do have to be part of Corporate America, or act a little beached blanched to "arrive." Brother is just learning the ropes. Bottomline, and sadly, the principles that used to undergird governance all over the world today is mostly predicated upon convenience, lies, and wealth--or the ability to even be a sell-out. Today, these are the huge hinges that define success. The zipling to contemporary relevance is to act politically correct- according to the dominant force of the day, whether it is Tea Party, Koch Brothers, whatever. That's why "we must take our country back." You don't need long turenci to understand that!!! Doesn't it sound right? Feel not sad my brother! Or you need an Ngugi to write a novel like no other of that title, to feel better! Ndo!!! --- On Tue, 11/1/11, Ikhide <xokigbo@yahoo.com> wrote:
