As the New Democrat Left and their propagandists in the Pravda Media try to establish Obamacare as Kennedys lasting legacy, recall too that Animal Farm began with the death of Old Major

Old Major
A prize Middle White boar is the inspiration that fuels the Rebellion in the book. He is 12 years old. According to one interpretation, he could be based upon both Karl Marx, founder of modern Marxism and the base for Communism, (in that he describes the ideal society the animals could create if the humans are overthrown) and Vladimir Lenin (in that his skull is put on revered public display, as was Lenins embalmed corpse). However, according to Christopher Hitchens: the persons of Lenin and Trotsky are combined into one [i.e., Snowball], or, it might even be [...] to say, there is no Lenin at all.
Except Teddy was an Old Wide-in-the-Middle White boor...
