Dear Oprah,

Like many men in your life, Obama will disappoint you ... because you see ... he is not really promising a "new kind of politics", but he is a "business as usual" ... "pay to play" ... "pandering politician".

Obama has supported the Greek oppressor, in the Macedonia - Greek "name" dispute over the the right of ethnic Macedonians to determine their own ethnic identity. He has pandered to the Greek lobby for the purpose of gaining votes and donations at the expense of human rights.

The Trials of Father Tsarknias

The Greek position is that ethnic Macedonians have no culture , history,and language (a bunch of "n -words" you see).

Macedonian "Abecedar" re-published in Greece after 81 years (1925)

They demand that ethnic Macedonians change the name of their Republic of Macedonia, their Macedonian language, their Macedonia Orthodox Church. Finally, they are demanding that the Macedonian government change Macedonian history.

The Greek government has denied their ethnic Macedonian minority the right to schooling in their own language , radio and TV programs and even the right to sing songs in the Macedonian language at weddings. Finally, they deny importation of Macedonian language text books.

Obama has enthusiastically adopted the Greek position as his own ... because Greek voters outnumber Macedonian voters 10 to 1 (on the advice of the saintly Samantha Power).

Oprah, hear the Macedonian cry!

Oprah, be on the side of the angels. At least do a show on the plight of the Macedonians in Greece as part of your reparations for supporting Obama for president.

Many groups have worked for human rights for Macedonians in Greece including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, The US State Department on Human Rights , and the European Free Alliance political party, with the "Rainbow Party" as its Macedonian affiliate in Greece.

Invite these people and then invite Obama as a "surprise guest" so he can kneel down and apologize for supporting Greek racism against the helpless ethnic Macedonian minority in Greece.

Oprah, this is not going to make you happy, but below are some more links about Obama and Macedonians. Barack Obama and "The Banality of Evil"

Hey Mike Madden, the poster "Timbuktom" got a star when he responded to my post that "Obama Supports Greek Racism", but my original post? nada. I smell a plot! Star me for F*** sake!

If you go to my blog and search on "Oprah, Obama Will Disappoint You" you will see the same analysis in Dec 11, 2007 that David Brooks had today. I am now accepting offers from the New York Times opinion page.

David Brooks

New York Times,June 20, 2008

"Barack Obama is the most split-personality politician in the country today. On the one hand, there is Dr. Barack, the high-minded, Niebuhr-quoting speechifier who spent this past winter thrilling the Scarlett Johansson set and feeling the fierce urgency of now. But then on the other side, there’s Fast Eddie Obama, the promise-breaking, tough-minded Chicago pol who’d throw you under the truck for votes."

.......

In my other letter to the Salon you will see "star worthy" posts on Iraq, Iran and "Global Warming"! I am now accepting reporting offers from Salon.

Mike Madden, I have a 1939 book on the concept of a Balkan Federation by LS Stavrianos. The the gory details of the Greek - Macedonian dispute bored him THEN! What is really interesting to me is why all those journalists (mostly liberal ... but not all) ignore the plight of ethnic Macedonians in Greece ... NOW!

Why does the State Department report on it, even in the Clinton administration, but not RFE, ICG and IWPR ... to mention only a few.

I want an answer from you and I want a star for this post!

Barack Obama has adopted the Greek position on the Macedonian Greek dispute. - Rumor or Truth?

The Greek position is that the 50,000 strong "slavophone" minority is bilingual, speaking a patois/idiom/ which is not a "real" language. Slavophones, according to Greece, have no language, no culture (sounds like you know what)and no separate ethnic identity from the Greek majority. - Rumor or Truth?

Members of the ethnic Macedonian political party Rainbow/ Vinozhito/European Free Alliance have been harassed, beaten and prosecuted for demanding human minority rights. - Rumor or Truth?

Greece's treatment of its ethnic Macedonian minority, like the Turkish treatment of its ethnic Kurdish minority, is the inspiration for every racist, every fascist and every ethnic cleanser in the Balkans. - Rumor or Truth?

Obama supports a Senate Resolution condemning the Macedonian government for its call for basic human rights for ethnic Macedonians in Greece as "hostile propaganda." - Rumor or Truth?

Colin Powell was instrumental in the US recognition of the Republic Of Macedonia by its constitutional name, instead of FYROM imposed on Macedonia by a Greek blockade during the Clinton administration. - Rumor or Truth?

Even though they covered the Balkans during the wars of the nineties, the following journalists have totally ignored the plight of ethnic Macedonians of Greece:

Robert D. Kaplan, Samantha Power, Christopher Hitchens, Heather Hurlburt, Anne Applebaum, Edward Lucas, Timothy Garton Ash, Michael Ignatieff, International War and Peace Reporting (IWPR), International Crisis Group (ICG), Radio Free Europe, - Rumor or Truth?

Those organisations that reported on the plight of ethnic Macedonians in Greece:

Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch (Denying Ethnicity: The Macedonians of Greece),US State Department(what dah!)Report on Human Rights - Rumor or Truth?

Barack Obama Supports Greek Racism Against Its Ethnic Macedonian Minority - Rumor or Truth?
