Kat loved what he said. I expect Amos will love it too. It shows once again how perception of reality is a very subjective business...people very often see exactly what they have already decided they will see (and want to see).

I think Mr Obama is probably doing what every president in our lifetimes (with the possible exception of John Kennedy) has done. He's dutifully serving the Great Invisible Oligarchy that controls both the Democratic and Republican parties (who are really in effect nothing more than a huge one-party system divided into two outwardly competing wings) and uses them like a couple of football teams to entertain, divide, and rule the American public as it chooses...and the great Oligarchian agenda moves on. What's it about? Money, superpower domination of the world, hegemony, control, and endless war. Very Orwellian. But far more clever and subtle than the brutally obvious dictatorship of Orwell's novel.
