OBAMA-BAMA-BAMA WINS

A JALUO PREZZO

Last night I was packing and nervous about my Dubai trip; I packed but kept fretting that I had missed something. I went to bed around 11 but didn’t sleep till 1 and I set my alarm for 4 in the morning in order to hear the results from the US primaries, it wasn’t a surprise that Obama won but more surprising was Hillary’s reaction, she still couldn’t bring herself to give in and congratulate the man. Last night was the beginning of a new era in politics, not brought on by Obama but by Hillary. The world of politics has been devoid of colour since the death of communism when diametrically opposed views disappeared and what we were left with were shades of grey. So Hillary has started a new revolution in politics; in years to come they will be teaching the principles of “denialism” or “delusionism” as the doctrine is called. It is a simple concept; to totally deny reality and live in a bubble with all your voters in an ignorant world of total bliss unaware of basic facts of life. It is like Napoleon claiming to have kicked Wellington’s ass at Waterloo or When Hitler was stuck in the bunker commanding imaginary legions, if only leaders of the past had known of this tactic. We would have heard of George Foreman’s thumping victory in the “Rumble in the Jungle” when he fractured Ali’s knuckles with his jaw and kissed the ground in celebration.


Communism would be claiming a victory over the West and say that they let them think they had won. I saw the seeds of this denialism sprouting in UK when new labour was in first in power; they had many of the top operatives who came from a PR background and regardless of their political leaning they could always dress a pigs ear to look like silk.

Here are some examples

More people with cancer waiting for treatment – Better diagnosis
More people unemployed – this creates a more competitive job market
More children expelled from school – Better discipline is being imposed
More soldiers dying in Iraq – They are dying for a just cause
More obese kids – this shows more disposable income to spend on food
More terrorism attempts/attacks – shows we are winning the war on terror

Gordon Brown is suffering now because he doesn’t have the bullshitting skills of Tony Blair, if only he had Hillary’s campaign manager. What Obama has done is awesome, a BBC reporter said he had wheezed over the line but we have to remember that he has defeated a two-headed beast called Billary – yeah you get two for the price of one with the Clintons as we have seen. Beating the Clintons was unthinkable when he started, they were the toughest political opponents that he could have wished for so beating McCain will be a cakewalk compared to this. The mud that has been smeared, the taunts, the Pastor, and all this from his own side. And now they are just meant to kiss and make up like nothing happened, the sense of entitlement that the Clintons exude is nauseating. First they thought they deserved it just because of their name, then they were offended that they would actually have to campaign for it, then they rested on their laurels as Obama gained momentum, then they invoked racism saying that “Racists vote too and we can’t forget them as well” finally they said “the rules is wrong, change em.”


Obama has been a genius in how he executed his campaign; he just had to get the nomination so he couldn’t afford to spell out much policy, instead he was a blank canvass for voters to project their hopes on to. He was basically a salesman for hope; I looked at his website and it read “powered by hope”, that was a bit too much for my liking but it made a point. Chris Rock said you can’t talk a woman into having sex with you but you can talk her out of it, the same applies to voters voting for you. All he had to do was stick to the message and hope that no scandal would come out to wreck his chances. When this campaign started I wondered what chance either candidate had “A nigger or a bitch?” most bigots wouldn’t know where to start. I argued with my cousin (who was voting with her uterus) that the fact that Obama was equipped with a penis and Y-chromosome stood him in good stead, I think America is ready for a woman president but Hillary is not just any woman, she is the Anti-Christ to many Americans.


Obama cannot allow a dual-presidency by giving Hillary the VP, she will undermine him every chance she gets. He has to strike out on his own path and not give into blackmail, so what he needs now is policy and plenty of it, he cannot fear to offend voters but just be truthful. He cannot bask in the glory of his victory however glorious it is, it was momentous but he cannot just lose and be happy that he was the first Black man to lose an election. The significance of Obama should be fleeting, Blacks are happy that he won the nomination stating that he would be a role for young Blacks. Yes he will, but he will not make up for the absent fathers and poor parenting that young Blacks receive, maybe he could improve funding for schools and social services. History moves so relentlessly the day after he gets elected it will be “So we got a black president, what next?”
