Obama Returns to his Moral Vision: Democrats Read Carefully!

Click here to access article by George Lakoff from AlterNet. 

Here we go again! This liberal author is beginning the process of bringing all the disillusioned liberals and progressives back into the Democratic fold just in time for the next elections. When I read the part of the headline which reads, "Democrats Read Carefully", I thought he was warning them about being gullible. But, no, he was affirming that there was much to be taken seriously in Obama's speech. 

This author pretends to offer a deep analysis by talking about "systems". And, again, this initially threw me off, because I thought he might touch on the most fundamental system of all which shapes everything--the socio-economic system of capitalism. 

Obama is a great speech deliverer, and whoever writes his speeches is very clever, diabolically clever. I wait with great anticipation to see if the manipulators of public opinion succeed once again in hoodwinking the liberal wing of the US electorate. Frankly, I cannot believe that they will fall for it again. I mean, there must be some limit to their gullibility!

If after reading this garbage, you need a dose of reality and have an hour to spare, I highly recommend that you listen to an interview with John Perkins.
