Barack, A Tragic Hero

Barak Obama will demonstrate the bankruptcy of the liberal belief in equality … for, despite his color, he will be little better than past white presidents, and possibly some past white ones will have been better, though, in the political arena, the word “better” must be viewed with skepticism.

Merely electing Barak feels like a victory, but it will likely prove an empty victory, as not even Obama can stop the Titanic.

Obama is the first black U.S. president – the question is, can he drag America out of the red sea?

To fix the economy, Barack would have to 1) force people to stop overspending, 2) force people to stop buying crap made by foreign underpaid workers, 3) force businessmen to stop raping the people, 4) force businessmen to stop paying workers slave wages (Chinese wage slaves, all third world wage slaves and the minimum wage U.S. employee who must work 40hrs a week for the most barren necessities + television), and 5) lower taxes. The fact that these solutions are not even part of the present Save Us package simply emphasizes the already evident fact that a culture defined by pollution, obesity, the self-esteem/narcisism/gingoism complex and gross financial inequality and professional wrestling is a culture not even worth saving.

What else can one say? I recently heard that Barack is a fan of Spiderman, a comic book hero; I would have preferred a president who admitted being a fan of Charlie Brown or The Muppets.

Ultimately, this change of colours is only a tiny step for America: it still needs the pink, rainbow and green president (aren’t they all green?). Actually, every artist knows that black and white are not true colours, and every philosopher knows that every president is a black and white president: a president without much subtlety of thought and trapped in the dollarizing, bi-polarizing, buy-political arena.
