Change Smachange

Our favorite progressive socialist, disguised as a democrat from Ohio, Dennis Kucinich, scurries home to plead for funds to hang onto his congressional job, after urging supporters to now support Obama - who according to Dennis - they have one thing in common - "change."

That's right folks - this time around we're gonna vote for "change." We're gonna elect a democrat or a republican to the White House - and if you can't see the "change" in that, then there's a mote in your eye. Maybe it's a Ron Paul Republican mote, or maybe a Nader (the consumer isn't safer or greener) mote.

You know what the change is Bubba? Marketing - packaging. Remember other Black Americans have made presidential bids - Shirley Chisholm, Jesse Jackson, Rev. Sharpton, Alan Keyes, Carol Mosley Braun, Lenora Fulani - not a one taken seriously and a few taken as jokes.

Along comes Obama, half-white boy whose Black half isn't even American born or descended - and suddenly a "Black man" as president of the free world is acceptable to white America. It's marketing/packaging. The Chicago political machine dried Obama behind the ears as Barak practiced his regional dialects in front of the mirror.

Obama is so good, that just recently I caught a few minutes of his speech and for an ever so brief moment I thought by god there is hope - but quickly came to my senses when his cadence went up and down like our Baptist preacher who mesmerizes the flock even though everyone knows he's skimming the collection plate and boinkin' the deacon's wife.

And admit it, the majority of Black Americans voting for Obama are the same folks who cheered at OJ's acquittal simply because they felt a brother got one over on "the man." They will vote for Obama because he's packaged as JFK and MLK and physically resembles Malcolm X (although careful not to copy MX belief system).

And the package thrills many white voters who consider themselves progressive; who will see the first Black president as proof of how progressive the nation has become - that they are free, free at last.

What a package, what a marketing ploy by the Democrat machine.

I hinted months ago, and again last month, about an Auchi/Obama connection, do I have to hit you over the head Bubba? The Times has now "discovered state documents in Illinois recording that Fintrade Services, a Panamanian company, lent money to Mr Obama’s fundraiser in May 2005. Fintrade’s directors include Ibtisam Auchi, the name of Mr Auchi’s wife. Mr Auchi’s spokespeople declined to respond to a question about whether he was linked to this business."

Yessiree - the powers that be just might let us kiss the other cheek on the corporate ass for 4 years - and we will call it "change" and we will say it is "hope."
