[Pen-l] Obama reconsidered

[ravi <ravi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Despite (and not forgetting) his murderous assault in Somali waters, I  
am beginning to feel a wee bit positive about Obama in light of his  
Chavez, Cuba and even Iran, engagement and comments. I think his  
comment (below) is quite a significant challenge of ingrained ideology  
and confrontational, binary frameworks:

 "They would have us make the false choice between a rigid, state-run  
economy and unbridled and unregulated capitalism;"

He goes on to posit right-wing paramilitaries as equivalent to left- 
wing insurgents (or rather the other way around), which is, IMHO, an  
insult to the history of the region (Central/South America), but I  
will take these crumbs, nonetheless.
