All history as reconstruction of the past is of course myth

This issue from BAR is simply the icing on the cake!

Margaret Kimberley on Obama’s Hollow Victory.

Barack, Hillary, and the Sinister Nothingness of “Change”,by BAR executive editor Glen Ford.

The media have already begun making fantastic claims attributing the backhanded treatment to his multi-racial heritage. Those ridiculous assertions must be dismissed out of hand. There is a lot less to Obama than meets the eye. He is little more than a very slick and very savvy politician. He knows how to impress and please powerful people, and speaking up for black Americans accomplishes neither one of those things.

Salaam Gess,

How is everything and by the way how did your paper turn out? I thought you might be interested in this two part debate:

I was an early supporter of Obama but these criticisms have given me pause. Especially Glen Ford’s thoughtful article. It leaves us in a strange place again: No good candidates and the lesser of evils?

Maybe Obama is just playing a lot of people and in the end will come out to where he was in the begining.
