Presidential "Race"

Unless you've been living under a rock, without a TV, newspaper or a freind that talks about politics then you are probably aware that distinguished Sen. Obama is winning the Democratic Primaries. Obama's campaign has withstood all of the Clinton campaign's dirty politics, from them playing the race card (which hasn't worked), insulting his character, and trying to paint a picture that he is an elitist who doesn't sympathize with the poor and working class. And Sen. Hillary Clinton does sympathize with poor and working class?? C'mon now, that right there lets you know her campaign is desperate and will use any tactic no matter how irrational.

And rather than chime in on her latest exhibition into dirty politics Im going to let Michael Moore do it for me. These are few excerpts from a letter Michael Moore posted on his personal website today on why he is voting for Sen. Barak Obama...an interesting read from one of America's most interesting film makers.

My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote)
by Michael Moore

"Over the past two months, the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting. I guess the debate last week was the final straw. I've watched Senator Clinton and her husband play this game of appealing to the worst side of white people, but last Wednesday, when she hurled the name "Farrakhan" out of nowhere, well that's when the silly season came to an early end for me. She said the "F" word to scare white people, pure and simple. Of course, Obama has no connection to Farrakhan."

"What we are witnessing is not just a candidate but a profound, massive public movement for change. My endorsement is more for Obama The Movement than it is for Obama the candidate."

"Finally, I want to say a word about the basic decency I have seen in Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton continues to throw the Rev. Wright up in his face as part of her mission to keep stoking the fears of White America. Every time she does this I shout at the TV, "Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for 'spiritual counseling?' THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!"

"But no, Obama won't throw that at her. It wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be decent. She's been through enough hurt. And so he remains silent and takes the mud she throws in his face. That's why the crowds who come to see him are so large. That's why he'll take us down a more decent path.”

Yours Truly, Michael Moore.

Great letter Mr. Moore, let’s break the fourth wall.

In a country where racism is firmly lodged into the body politic, a black man running for president scares those whose daily lives depend on such iniquity. When these people make decisions from this standpoint, they wouldn't want to turn the mirror on themselves publicly or people would see their greatest insecurities on display. The overall myth of supremacy of melanin deficient peoples (King Arthur, propagandized images of Socrates and Plato, Issac Newton, George Washington, the Pope, Rupert Murdoch, Bill Gates, etc.) is as important of a lie in our society as the consequences of the Cold War, the Kennedy assassination(s), and this whole al-Qaida puppet show. Barack Obama is the new Ghandi, in that he can affect change by doing absolutely nothing dubious or otherwise objectionable, thus turning a mirror on those whose claim moral superiority is based on this myth of white supremacy. Once they can see that the myth doesn't hold up to the truth, they (like anyone who has been lied to about who they are) will resort to drastic measures as a result of their foundations being shaken, "Clinton". With all of that being said, this is only the beginning.
