Prophet-
False Prophet-
My doubts about Obama began with formation of his transition team and then cabinet. Dread has been building for the last year as I see financial policies and US foreign policy turn into clusterf#@$^S. Now Obama has become my worst nightmare. A democratic party false prophet who will split the party and send it back into the political wilderness. Reading this
article scares the shit out of me. If we really are going to force people to pay 20% of income to private monopolies, then count me out Democrats. You deserve to and will get slaughtered in the next election. You cynically sold the country out for greed and then left the tattered remains of our democracy to teabagging lunatics. The bill coming out of the senate is an abomination and apparently the exact bill Obama
wanted.
I've gone to a couple of Democracy for America training programs. Howard Dean gave me political training and only asked one thing. Go work in local parties and politics. Influence things at the grassroots and make change. He didn't ask anything else. No litmus tests or standard propaganda you would expect from a normal Democratic Party program. Hell, even republicans came to the trainings and got trained. Dean didn't even ask me to believe in him. I can only judge people by what they do, not what they say. I trust Howard Dean. I do not trust Obama.

PS- I owe Herenton an apology. He supported Hillary Clinton in the primary. He said he did because he knew the Clinton's and had done enough to build trust with him. He didn't trust the smooth talking guy that hadn't done anything. Herenton got ripped for supporting Hillary. He knew a political truth.
