Barack Obama is a Sellout

First, of all I’m going to stop pretending that I’ll ever update this blog on anything like a regular basis… now on to our program.

I don’t believe we need any additional evidence to confirm that this President has allied himself with the American oligarchs of finance in their long-term war of attrition against the rest of the American people.  This article by the implacable Matt Taibbi is comprehensive, and damning.  It is an indictment and a must read.

Taibbi calls for Geithner’s head, and that would certainly be a welcome first step, but it will not be sufficient.  In just two or three weeks I have gone from believing ANWF Bay Area was on its death bed to being very optimistic about our current efforts to expand the organization for the purpose of creating an insurgency the likes of which will give Larry Summers nightmares.  I always had the feeling I was born to fight, and I figure I’ve got a good twenty years left to give all I can to a nascent movement that is simply trying to secure some kind of economic justice in this crazy place. I guess Che had it right, you go where the battle is being fought.

Dear President, members of his economic racket-protection cabinet, and American oligarchs everywhere, consider yourselves forewarned.
