The story you tell is very old: the recurrent story of a demagogue who wants “money, power, and fame”. It reminds me the story of the Roman demagogue Catiline who wanted to destroy the Roman Republic and the Senate becoming the absolute Master of the State. All dregs of society (slaves, insolvents, common criminals, gladiators, whores etc.) united to his host of rebels. All means were good to reach his goal, and no moral scruple could pull him up. Catiline, like now Obama that leads the host of dregs of American society, is one of an endless line of political adventurers, but all of them have and had a common believe that where others failed, they will succeed. It is an illusion, but without illusions and hallucinations the human History would be too boring. That is why we, like spectators in a theatre, are watching this old comedy, where Obama-Arlecchino makes his acrobatic numbers and ends with “culo rotto”.
