"The wealthy, not only by private fraud but also by common laws, do every day pluck and snatch away from the people some part of their daily living. Therefore, when I consider and weigh in my mind these commonwealths which nowadays do flourish, I perceive nothing but a certain conspiracy of rich men in procuring their own commodities under the name and authority of the commonwealth.

They invent and devise all means and crafts, first how to keep safely without fear of losing that which they have unjustly gathered together, and next how to hire and abuse the work and labor of the people for as little money and effort as possible."

A time for selflessness & sacrifice

Now that President-Elect Barack Obama has done away with Maverick and the Snow Queen, he and his rapidly forming team can go about the important business of tamping down the expectations of his base. Yes, the poor suckers who've been drinking the O'laid for the past 21 months are in for a very rude awakening quite soon. The One hinted as much during his victory speech in Grant Park on Tuesday night, but for those not paying close attention the selection of brass-knuckle Zionist partisan and corporate-centrist Rahm Emanuel as Chief of Staff should have put them on notice. Sorry folks but given these difficult economic times it's critical that we accept that every promise made during the campaign, no matter how seemingly sincere, cannot possibly be met. It really does come down to addressing the right priorities.

Pretty funny stuff there, Coldie. This time next year I wonder if the "leftist" Obama supports will be complaining or making excuses?

If they are stupid enough to demobilize, or allow others to encourage them to do so, then frankly they deserve the kick in the teeth that they will surely be getting from Team Obama when it continues to facilitate Wall Street,s looting of the Treasury and launches an assault on Iran and/or Venezuela some time in '09 or '10.

These same people who mobilized to elect Barockstar have to hold his little clay feet to the fire and make him deliver on THEIR agenda. Obama's selection of Rahm Emanuel as chief of staff signals his intent: continuation of the status quo only more efficiently this time around.
