"I’ve always felt a curious relationship to the sixties. In a sense, I’m a pure product of that era..."

That much is true. But this is another dissociative fantasy, how he was part of the '60s. Just like his Dad was good buddies with JFK who brought him to study in America. Now he's partying with the Stones at Altamont even though he was about 7 years old:

"Mainly my understanding of the sixties came as a result of my own investigations, as my adolescent rebellion sought justification in the political and cultural changes that by then had already begun to ebb. In my teens, I became fascinated with the Dionysian, up-for-grabs quality of the era, and through books, film, and music, I soaked in a vision of the sixties very different from the one my mother talked about: images of Huey Newton, the ’68 Democratic National Convention, the Saigon airlift, and the Stones at Altamont."

And this could be the next president? A young man who struggled with anger at whites, whose mentors were Saul Alinsky, Frank Marshall Davis, William Ayers, and Rev. Wright???

"And this could be the next president?"

With the backing of the Chicago Machine, I fear that he will be.

I NEVER thought I'd say this: I miss Hillary.
