Barack Obama is a human being just like you and me.

Hope and change, abstractions, look so good on campaign buttons. Abstractions have a way of staying abstract.

Did you fall for it?

You’ll be wiser next time. You’ll see the promises for what they are. You’ll laugh and shake your head as you punch a hole beside a name, knowing, as you must, that it’s all the same in red and blue, black and white,

Barack and Bush–

neither is this one the new Christ.
