Comment 
 
I believe we are in for some policy shifts. 
Not because Obama is black. 
 
If anything the president is black because of policy shift. 

^^^
CB: This is a good way to get at it. 
The massive
white vote for a Black candidate for
 President means there has been 
a big advance in anti-racism of 
the US white population. 
 Anti-racist consciousness in
 that large group means they 
are ready for more progressive
 consciousness more broadly,
 including potentially foreign
 policy. Racism is part of the 
mass consciousness that is the 
basis for US imperialism.  
Masses of Americans thinking 
of Koreans, Viet Namese, Iraqis,
 Afghanis as inferior peoples 
is critical to the viability of US 
imperialist wars against them.

^^^^^
 
Obama is extremely astute and saw the possibility of winning President
when no one on the left or right thought it possible two years ago, save
a very few within his campaign. Obama is the most unflinching and
coolest Ãmuther***kerà I have every seen in my life.

^^^
CB: Word.  Miles Davis is now
 moved back to number two on 
the all time list of the coolest.
