This is getting pathetically predictable ... I fear that if Barack Obama was to accidentally breathe too deeply he will be accused of using a disproportionate share of the worlds oxygen ....

The man told the truth about bitterness and peoples turning to their concept of God … or to Guns ….The problem with the people who are criticizing Obama is they would deny the earth goes around the sun were that to suit their agenda …

Up here in Canada we gag at the right-wing reactionary press and also the fulsome BS of Hillary Clinton supporters who fail to see that she represents a part of the evil that must be cleansed from the system … many women would make great candidates – just not Hillary!

Ms. Clinton in her dishonesty and glib egocentricity represents the antithesis of ”Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” she is part of the same status quo like the privileged and elitist Neo-Cons who have dragged America into the abyss …

To accuse Obama of any type of elitism is the height of ’The Pot Calling the Kettle Black’.

Joan Walsh in her commentaries is not only an enemy of the people … she is an enemy of all thinking women who have yearned to be free of the shackles of misogyny that are oft kept in place by the trivial personage that Hillary Clinton presents …

"It is to late ... from the vantage point of far away this Canadian Geezer has observed over the past couple of weeks the appalling ability of Americans to destroy hope itself.

That we can see you are doomed in America brings no comfort ... the treadmill of time is showing only an appearance of forward progress but the evident unwillingness to face life on "Adult" terms by so many of your citizens means a continuation of the quagmire of pain and sorrow for the world. I see no miracle forthcoming from Democrats to forestall the grief of your own making as a narcissistic candidate with wealth and ‘connections’ along with the collaboration of a self-serving media has beaten down the one candidate who showed a glimmer of true understanding of the need to tackle the greater issues of the day with hope and optimism.

Hope and optimism are not ‘shallow’ expressions … they are the deepest longings of the soul … and America has abandoned the soul of so many of its dispossessed by failure to address the realities of the need for full and equitable education, universal health care and meaningful employment for its citizenry…

Shame on you … you have squandered the treasure that could have easily provided the basic human essentials for your own citizenry on “The Wars” … and you continue to tolerate and even extoll the grossest forms of personal greed and acquisitiveness.

This Canadian feels deeply that the Democratic Party is in denial about the reality of coming global social and economic collapse and will in all likelihood allow a continuation of the "Republican" neo-con disaster.

No my dear neighbours the future of the world does not revolve around the decision of so-called "Super Delegates" of the Democratic Party but rather on the evolved consequence of American ignorance and self-centeredness that lets a third world mother and child starve or be riddled with shrapnel on the filthy streets of many villages where they continue to suffer… The brief flicker of such gruesome images continues to occasionally appear on digital screens across America … but they are just intrusions to the viewing of episodes of ‘American Idol’ or ‘Dancing with the Stars’ …

So the Democratic Party continues to stumble … bleeding by way of self-absorption until the tragic self-generated demise of 'The Great Republic’...

Here in Canada we have followed the American primaries with considerable interest as the world is slowly slipping into a global catastrophe of economic collapse and bitter ongoing conflict and it comes as a rather shocking development to hear Ms. Clinton referring to Mr. Obama in a quite condescending manner as if he were being "Uppity" ...

For a Caucasian person of wealth to make such an inference harkens back to a different time in American politics circa George Wallace et al ...

Strangely no one has called her on this ... is everyone asleep at the switch in the American Media?"

"Absalom my son; my son Absalom; oh that I had died for thee, Absalom, my son, my son."

The element of nostalgia here is strong ... I will fly to Paris soon ... but it is not a romantic venture per se .... Would that it where such ... I too had imagined the escape to distant and alluring places in my youth but it did not happen.

The Pushkinia blossoms are easier to admire than the atrocious machinations of corporate takeovers/mergers and the wanton and casual impact it has on many peoples lives.
