20. pigmedia want spectacle
and spectacle can be all fabrication: witness the topgun pilot prez landing fighterjet during stormy weather on the USS Ronald (regan) far out at sea, with mission accomplished the goodest news ever to war weary americans. Obama first seemed to gain attention to my knowlege when his name's single letter difference from bin laden's and the possible muslim aspects in his upbringing caused the good cop/bad cop trickery, with cnn, or was it fox? seeming attempts to demonise Barack for his name/muslim links, which evoked cnn/foxnews(?) condemnation of such lowlife tactics (and which also intro'd Obama to alot of people who never heard of him)...back in mid 70's, brian mulroney was a 'young lawyer' who was running for tory party leadership first time his name got national explosure. The thing best recalled about the race was how while all the other candidates, Joe Clark, Hugh Segal etc, used yellow rental school buses to tour while mulroney campaign used air conditioned scenic cruisers- the rock star ones! mulroney went on few years later to win the leader post, then became PM in '83, and today he's the most hated punk in Canada, even by the rightwingers; thus he lives 364/year in florida (returning only for enough time to keep up his and his kids' medical coverage) Apparently the same aural shine surrounds Barack in that his campaign is very well financed while Dennis Kucinich, certainly a much greater presence in the dem/left political scene, had to struggle so much he was forced to give up.
Money is the root of all political evil, and Obama has lotsa money, though he's relatively lightweight. Even Hillary is lightweight, but she's got Billy Jeff- so the question is, remembering the notorious criminal features of the recent rightwing power trip, if rightwing (racist) cash isn't pushing Obama for his weaknesses. After all, that would be normal operating proceedure, but the question remains on back burner, if/when asked at all
