Has it ever occurred to you that "the myth of eternal American innocence" is the power driving the Obama juggernaut? My read of the folks caught up in Obamamania is that they are looking for a savior to wash them clean. They can pretend that they have not been tainted with the stain of living and thriving in a war mongering nation by getting behind the anti-war candidate. He promises absolution but he cannot deliver it. We are all responsible for the acts of our government whether we were opposed from the start or not. We live here. We're Americans. We are war mongers, murderers, and torturers.
We have all been tainted and the media has been complicit in this enormous silence on matters of occupation, torture and imperialism. Obama is not a savior. Make no mistake that his supporters even harbor that mindless sentiment. This is a movement of the people. The people have risen and Obama just joined the bandwagon to bring this country back to its promise.
What Hillary offers is the same old same old policies of Bush and McCain.
