		<description>All the undecideds aspire to be  withit upper-middle-classniks? I rather doubt that. Besides, the economy trumps every other consideration in a time of economic peril and the electorate have decided to blame it on Bush. &lt;i&gt;That&#039;s&lt;/i&gt; what makes winning an almost impossible task for McCain, not class considerations.</description>

		<description>Has there ever been as conservative of a candidate as Obama?  I don&#039;t mean politically or economically conservative.  I mean institutionally.

All his youth, Obama was a object for others.  Even his mother&#039;s energy and will to have a multi-racial baby.  Obama was but the political/sexual object.  And after having him, she abandoned him for useless work in basket making economies in the third world, where most people would be ecstatic to be a L.A car wash worker.

So, Obama begins to make his way, fatherless, motherless, raised by white leftist grandparents that parade him around like a liberal status symbol.  He enters elite, white leftist school, where he is the only black.  A type of pet for the children, where whites could get their racial solidarity ticket punched.  Obama the pet.  

Like a cat to a crazy cat lady, he learns what it takes to get rewards and off he goes, repeating the same behavior to the same liberal stimuli for the next thirty years.

He drifts through soft, liberal schools until he colors, and fills in, with in the permissible, his warped sense of identity at Occidental, and the then usual politically conservative acts (in lefty world) of smoking marijuana and hanging with the afro-ed Black Liberationists.  He doesn’t do well, but Columbia is desperate to have black males and affirmative action bubble makes them rare and hard to get, thus again the white liberal burden of Obama, and he no doubts is let known of the favor.  

Obama gets, somehow,  into  Columbia in the fall of 1981, the same fall that the Black Liberation Army with the Weather Underground robs for the people a Brinks truck and murders two police officers and a working class Brinks guard( Power To The People ).  So too at Columbia is superstar and famous Bill Ayers, fresh from a decade in hiding who  is also starting his Masters,  only a couple of years ahead of Obama, the Junior.  

Did they meet?  Maybe.  Obama is very quiet about Columbia, not having released any of his records, at all.  

Obama does or does not graduate; it’s not clear from Columbia and goes into the lefty equivalent of working in McDonalds, community organizing in Chicago.  Is there a reason even Obama, the rare, nice, clean, lefty articulate Black object couldn’t get into a prestigious lefty law school?   Odd that he would go back to Ayers home town, where the Ayers family is wealthy and influential and he takes a intern at a Ayers family law firm.  Just a coincidence.  

After time, somehow, Obama gets into Harvard Law, where he is again objectivized, and petted up to the head of the Law School.  Oh, how happy were the many of the anointed left.  They looked and had seen they had done well.  

I had read that Obama was a bit disappointing, in not being ethnic enough, left enough, but what the heck, if you are a lefty you got to go with the stereotype that you got.

Obama goes back to Chicago, with his liberal promotion as a Harvard lawyer, slowly climbing the party steps, doing the proper things, behaving the way proper lefties want all their black  people to behave.  Not all Afro and raised fist like those blacks from the ghetto, but clean, quiet, non-threatening, studious.  Something to be proud of and worth all the support.  Proof that leftism is the road for blacks and that lefty whites  were right.  Obama, the classy black.  Watch him speak.

How Obama must of enjoyed Wrights anti-white, anti-Semitic sermons.  All his life, being an object of whites, their pet.   How Obama and bitter clinger, Michael, must of enjoyed every slam against the insufferable patronization of the liberal whites and Jews, whom schooled them.

I feel  that Obama is a very cynical man.  Long practiced in maneuvering though white liberal delusions and the thin, weak, prison cell deep thinking of the Black grievance industry.  And industry that makes late night community access channel preachers seem like MIT lectures in Physics by comparison.  There is nobody that he has even had decades even of comradeship, that he hasn’t thrown under the bus.  Stalin would be proud.  Even Nixon kept friends for decades.  

But, Obama isn’t a motherless, fatherless pet, living in the soft bigotry of elite leftists anymore.  

Since his conception, people have been waiting for Obama, and Obama has done what lefties wanted.  But like Michael’s lobster and Iranian caviar lunch, now it’s Obama’s  turn.  Now it is him who will have his wants and it is others that will conform.

  He’s never had to be an executive, always operating in the predictable, elderly pattern of late stage leftistism.    Even Jimmy Carter, at least, had a governorship under his belt and an education in the physical realities of nuclear submarines, and we know how detached ersatz sweater wearing Jimmy was, and still is.  At least he had a family.  Obama doesn’t have any of that, save the smoldering Michael, who reminds me of a female Nixon.

It will all be for the best.  Honest.  Trust Obama.</description>

non profit scavenging of fortunes made years ago by successful entrepreneurs.</description>

		<description>That Sam Schulman analysis is so GOOD.  It describes my relatives who are entering professions (lawyers), and want to be &#039;cool&#039;, and definitely not prole in a trailer.

There is one other factor though:  the attraction of blood and violence inherent in palling around with Ayers and Dorhn:  they so physically attractive in an upper  middle class manner; able to host just the right kind of party with multicultural appetizers and wines; and a history of murder and group sex in the back of a van.  Those were the days, those Days of Rage!</description>
