Sen. Obama flogged in public.....again!
This is a comment written on a diary written by *Rashomon.
Many of us outside the US (20+ / 0- )
are watching this unfold with complete and utter dismay. After witnessing Obama's impressive, uplifting show of enlightened leadership around the world, it's been a rough awakening to watch his own country welcome him home.

This comment prompts my opinion and observation as follows having watched television and witnessing how Sen. Obama is considered wrong for calling Sen. McCain a racist:
Whenever anyone, especially a Black, raises the anchor of “The good ship Lollypop, USA” enabling the ship to start moving forward out of port headed towards deep waters with charters and aspirations to go to other ports, joining other ships and shaking hands with the passenge, the Neo-con ship owners and their paranoid friends rush to wrestle the anchor free from the person-liberator now labeled an undesirable in one form or another and locked in an undisclosed cabin on the ship.
The ship’s engines are hurriedly placed in reverse to go back into the dock and into its original position. The anchor is once again dropped into the waters to the displeasure of most of the now begrudged and hissing passengers.
The call comes over the address system that all activities are suspended, the deck chairs are re-arranged and we are lectured on the latest Holocaust stories and movies; reminded what a horrible person Hitler was and told once again how bad life was for the Jews prior to World War 11. We are told, again, how one should not be anti-Semitic with examples of people who were and of their jail sentences and are there any questions?
And if this occurs before breakfast, we would have two more time to repeat the whole event that day.
This happens everytime someone tries to pull up the anchor so the ship can sail and Sen. Obama just happens to be the latest to make the effort. We hear we have to listen to a speech of Sen. McCain tomorrow and his wife may also grace us with a speech during dinner. Before ‘lights out’ we heard they are going to helicopter Sen. Obama to the Gaza strip. Until after the elections. His punishment. There were whispers earlier tonight some of the guys are going to overpower the guards and free Sen. Obama.
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-Span and the spirits of the unborn for the help,
BB

I hope you are right, but (1+ / 0-)
the problems that the latest developments on the campaign trail reveal seem to speak to some pretty fundamental issues the US faces as a country. I'm thinking primarily of the deeply compromised Fourth Estate and the difficult, insiduous problem of racism and racial resentment.
Even for a prodigious candidate like Obama, these are some pretty powerful forces to fight against. It's a daunting task, and for all our sakes I hope the grassroots will be able to break through.

that happened to the black troops after world war 2. They were treated like heroes in Europe only to be treated worse than animals back home.
