Socrates & Obama

[alice wellintown]

I do not like tv, but yesterday I did take in a good bit of the Washington
stuff, and, recently, took in a frontline on Obama, and got the idea that
dialogue is needed in our government, that is, the folks who manage that
part of our nation, mismanage, abuse power, and make wars even citizens
live in increasing poverty and declining standards, I got to thinking a
profile in cowardice may define this president who, of course, came to us
from audacity, promised hope and change, left us with bit change in our
piggy banks, hopeless in tents, foreclosed and forgotten, even as he
wrapped himself in the cloth of King, made a bluster of civil rights, even
as the center of our rights, and the power to exercise them, our economic
foundation, crumbles in an agonist if failure to dialectic.
