...Mr. Obama is a man of *mediocre intelligence who promotes *mediocre ideas.

At best: he's simply, currently, the shiniest, most visible, cog of the bunch.

The 'real' threat is not Mr. Obama but the inertia he (knowingly? unknowingly?) serves: the bureaucratic, cultural, inertia that's been in play since before the first proto-human climbed down out of the tree and said, "This here ground is good!" (and then was promptly set upon by all the other, more timid, proto-humans for daring to think and do for him- or her-self).

Mr. Obama (along with any other 'leader' you care to name) is simply a vehicle for, and tool in, the only real war, that being the war between the **'WE' and the 'I'.



*The status quo, convention, cog-thinking, 'society' and 'community' over 'civilization', the reduction of 'one' to simple resource for 'many'.

**All others are mere echoes, shadows, of this essential conflict which can be summed up in this question, 'Who owns 'me'?'
