Obama is underestimated by those who use the template of US Presidents acting in the national interest.

He HAS placed his ship alongside the enemy, and is firing broadside after broadside, dismasting the ship, holing the hull. His boarders are making ready the cutlasses and the handspikes.

Except his enemy is the United States of America, and her people. His only interest in foreign affairs is when a foreign enemy of the constitution gets in trouble, as with recent events in Honduras. Otherwise, he’s too busy with his fellow domestic enemies of the constitution, working on the plan to bring us down, so that white folks’ greed will no longer be able to run a world in need.

That’s the one true thing in his autobiography. The very day he heard Jeremiah Wright pronounce those words was the day his life path was decided. It’s just like the passage in Mein Kampf where another politician describes sitting in the cafe in defeated Vienna, seeing the oriental Jews in their caftans and robes in the streets. He said, “at that moment, I decided to become a politician”.

Obama IS alive in the moment.

Are we?
