Barak Obama is not a genuine alternative, or 'Any colour as long as its rich'

Barak Obama is not a genuine alternative. A useful metaphor is the radiation spectrum – all robust and feisty debate and choice is confined to a narrow range.

The American system has been intentionally designed and redesigned from the very beginning to represent concentrated wealth. Look into Barak Obama background and you’ll find that it’s from the elite section of the community that owns everything. Whether you or I have a problem with that, I happen to (I don’t think it’s justified), but even if you don’t have a problem with it, you can’t expect him to act that different from anyone else that is ALLOWED to hold that office because they are from and represent concentrated wealth. Middle class people are allowed to serve, not lead. And below middle class….what, oh sorry, I stopped paying attention. I must have lost interest in where I was going with that.
