The enthusiasm for Obama reminds me of a novel by Pierre Boulle “La planète des singes” (“Planet of the Apes” o “Monkey Planet”). One can remember also the film “Planet of the Apes” (1968) based on Boulle’s novel with the magnificent Charlton Heston. The humans become like animals without intelligence and the apes are transformed in intelligent beings like humans once. I don’t want to make any comparison, but I can’t liberate me from the sensation that my white fellows have lost any ability of reasoning in their exaltation for this marionette with sweet smile and hypnotizing look. They seem like the stupid monkeys from “The Jungle Book” by Rudyard Kipling who kidnapped Mowgli and were eaten by the enormous snake Rev. Kaa Wright afterwards.
