In the popular mind, Obama symbolizes the end of the arrogance, corruption and incompetence of the Bush-Cheney regime. Millipede Minor, what passes for a British Foreign Secretary nowadays, has even officially banished the phrase "War on Terror" from the official lexicon.
Sadly, the hopes, dreams and aspirations of ordinary people around the world are almost certainly going to be brutally crushed as the world economy shrinks, tens of millions of jobs are destroyed, and homes go up in flames.
It will be grimly, disgustingly, voyeuristically fascinating to see what Shakespearian part They have chosen for Obama.
If the real Tragedy can be seen through MSM's web of lies and deceit...
As I watch this historic moment in history, I am also reading Obama's book "Dreams From My Father". This book reveals him to be a man who truly believes in change. At the grassroots level. So when he finally get it, sees what "THEY" have in mind for him, it will be a measure of the man to see his response. Shakespear could not have written it better.
Yes, the hopes of the people are burning already. Does he get it, I wonder? Does he care any longer? He's reached his golden ring. Now what?
