It’s sad that someone who can write as well as Morford, and who can get somewhat more than halfway to a good and solid insight, as Mark Morford, can still yet succumb to the same vacuous conceits he ably identifies as constituting the Obama Phenomenon.His intellectualized fawning just can’t quite shake the stardust from its eyes.
He’d have been better off analyzing the phenomenon itself as a political pathology, a kind of “mass delusion of crowds” alive and well in the early 21st century.
But rest assured, if Obama were elected President on the cosmic “Change” platform he carries around with him to stand on, his supporters would NEVER show disappointment in him when he inevitably would reveal himself to be just another Establishment politician, at best. Look at how strenuously Bill CLinton was defended for 8 long years, no matter what he did, what he was, what he “compromised” on.
Obviously Morford suffers what BHO’s black liberation theology dictates: he was born into the original sin of white skin.
