Obama-Mania

February 21, 2009



I am not ashamed of you or hating you for your affection for

the 44th President, it is obvious in retrospection it is a universal

affliction without contrition to the reality of socio-economic

restrictions of the poor and oppressed. The situation requires

an address to impress that change will not manifest by simply

being professed at press conferences or a cabinet meeting

when the greedy continues exploit in capitalist elation void

any hesitation since CEO’s have no fear of incrimination.



You say give him time to unwind a stimulus plan while the

Republican’s continue to make demands to undermine retooling

of America. Yet, those in the know knows this is no time to repose

when economic woes cascades like Niagara falls leaving the lower

classes under black and white kaffiyeh shawls of malnutrition. They

starving for relief that welfare and food stamps can’t ease the lack of

funds that has undone middle class dreams of prosperity. For clarity it

should be reiterated the stimulus package will result in denial of

Barak’s dreams, prompt the implementation of new economic

schemes, to ensure the plutocrats continue to govern with Obama

as the leader of their team.



I only ask that you take note of the pathology of a polymorphous

pertinacious politician, a chameleon of kaleidoscopic proportion

posturing as a people person whose policies are dictated by

the highest bidder. A transmitter of the ideals of homogeneity

with the proclivity to speak with a silver fork tongue, when

all is said and done, the plutocrats will have gotten more money

and run. Another multi-billion dollar bailout from one who may

not epitomize the proverbial sellout with a charismatic smile. I’m

just proclaiming progressive folks need to keep a watch-out all the

while, since poor people are hanging on to his words as he gesticulate

like a puppeteer with a messiah complex having no fear, urging

genuflection to enhance his Presidential career, steering the masses to

support him for another 4 years.



As this seemingly ubiquitous incestuous system of avarice carnivorously

nourish on its own people at the putrid Temple of the Federal Reserve

Bank. Globalization has taken its toll, manufacturing has slowed, the

stock market has foretold that conspicuous consumption has closed.

Common folks produce the wealth, but have no say in how it is shared,

their lives in disrepair full of despair with foreclosures, pink slips and no

way to spare a dime in this clime void a collective survival mode there is

no extol of a humanitarian code that we are all suffering together.



So, how can I blame you for falling for a White House color change.

Even though the name of the game remain the same, class struggle

should now be claimed if progressive folks take the reins and

forge a mass and popular movement including a national agenda

to upend the capitalist-imperialist reign. To demand reparations

and redistribution of the wealth, that is a stimulus plan without the

stealth, can it be said such notion is like magic portion that only a

social revolution can dispense without suspense by applying a little

common sense. Putting the money directly in the hands of the

oppressed masses, unfortunately, such ideas passes as socialist.

But it is often said if common sense was common all of these Fools

would have it.



Obama-mania has claimed you, but can you see the forest beyond the

tree, “We The People” must take a stand to free the land of political

leeches with their speeches blinding us with rhetoric about unity. I

am not splitting hairs its just that I care that we learn to share when it

comes to our socio-economic affairs. Damn the politicians with their

flair, because it makes no difference when they don’t dare to hold

capitalist institutions accountable. Mass mobilization, general strikes,

taking the fight to D.C., demanding the ending of imperialist wars from sea

to shining seas, for public ownership of the means of production, that will

cause a reduction in capitalist greed. For big agri-businesses the building

of cooperative farming like Victory Gardens would be alarming, bartering

and trading no longer delaying our collective voices must be heard. If market

forces and consumer spending is the engine of this machine, then the People

must take control and reclaim their revolutionary souls like in the laws of

the natural order of things.



Remember: We Are Our Own Liberators!
