My Post on Huffington Post got Posted for a Change

I was telling my progressive friends for more than six months that the election was fixed in Obama's favor, and I wanted him to win too. Phyllis you have hit upon some of the major clues that the election was fixed for Obama. Added to the above is the fact that the corporate owned media were behind him for many months, which is another red flag that he is unlikely to hurt their bottom line. Then add into that mix all the major politicos that supported him as well. I think the powers that be couldn't stomach civil unrest, just yet, and decided to go with a popular guy whose life was, and is, continuously on the line.

And add to the above what Bill Clinton's favorite professor at Georgetown had to say about elections, and I quote:

"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy."

I rest my case.
