Are you kidding? Beck says the same things *you* do about Obama - that he's some sort of left-winger. We say he's an enthusiastic servant of capital and imperial power. If Beck said that, he'd lose his job.

^^^^^ CB: Nope, not kidding. Now we see you have never really paid attention to what I say about Obama. I have always said he is not a left-winger and did not run as one, but as a centrist. It is you who now mis-characterize his campaign as left-wing, so you can falsely claim he has broken his campaign promises - not.

Not only that, on the personal level, he doesn't seem like an "enthusiastic" servant of capital and imperial power; acts more like a reluctant and coerced one. But anyway, so much of your discussion of Obama is on his individual motives, psychology, honesty; how you don't like him personally. That's Big Man theory, not a Marxist approach.
