[Marxism] Obama puzzle




http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jan/22/hillaryclinton.barackobama

the grassroots movement behind the Obama campaign allows sympathicos to come to
know of each other's existence and to connect. It could be important. Possibly.

Now I cite the article above though it has a lot of damaging stuff about Obama
from a marxist point of view. I don't make much of his not wasting time
fighting nominations who are certain to get the requisite vote. It's not the
place where to challenge the administration. I do make something of his
opposition to cluster bombs, coming as it did after Israel's use of them in
Lebanon. Clinton's support is horrific. I do make much of his attempt to lower
obstacles to the immigration of political activists. For me it's of a piece of
civil libertarian efforts on behalf of the Gitmo lawyers.

But there is a lot in the article damaging to him, especially support of this
energy bill. I don't know the details.
