I am so depressed about the future of my country. uh, oh! Sounds like you're falling under the Obama-Alinsky spell. :)
From Rules for Radicals, Alinsky outlines his strategy in organizing, writing:
"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution."[2]

Statement from Communist Party USA (CPUSA):
"The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.
The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them."

Nor has the help all been one way. During the last debate between John McCain and Barack Obama, Senator McCain mentioned that Senator Obama's political campaign began in Bill Ayers' home. Obama immediately denied it and McCain had no real follow-up. It was not this year's political campaign that Obama began in Bill Ayers' home but an earlier campaign for the Illinois state legislature. Barack Obama can match Bill Clinton in slickness at parsing words to evade accusations.
I thought McCain had meant the START of Obama's career was in Bill Ayers living room. He meant the start of Obama's presidential camgaign? Most unfortunate.
I have thought many times, that Obama is as good as Clinton at parsing words to evade accusations. Amazing. It seems that most Democrat politicians have this ability. It's part of their training.

"Some people who see the fraud in what Obama is saying are amazed that others do not. But Obama knows what con men have long known, that their job is not to convince skeptics but to enable the gullible to continue to believe what they want to believe. He does that very well."A GREAT line! I always thought Clinton was obvious. Obama's better. He's smoother and more subtle, and unlike Bill, truly eloquent.

I thought McCain had meant the START of Obama's career was in Bill Ayers living room.I think McCain meant the start of BO's political career and Dr. Sowell was just criticizing McCain for not coming back and making that clear when BO denied it. McCain has not been aggressive enough in such matters. I could be wrong but that's my take on what Dr. Sowell meant.

Obama: "Many of the problems that Africa faces whether it is poverty, or political suppression, or ethnic conflict is just as prominent there and can't all be blamed on the effects of colonialism, what it can be blamed on is some of the common factors that effect Bosnia or Los Angeles or all kinds of places on this earth and that is the tendancy for one group to try to suppress another group in the interest of power or greed or resources." Boy, that quote really hits the nail on the head. Obama has the world view of a communist revolutionary. He resolved his personal identity crisis by going for the cheap "street cred" of fashionable radicalism.
I'm worried what our country might look like after he and his comrades in the congress have fought capitalism, racism, and imperialism for a few years.

If we end up with this guy, and he ends up as bad as I fully expect, “conned” is the right word. And the media will have been his willing accomplice in all of this.
