Officials: Obama set to introduce Clinton Monday

Again, these corporate news articles, including AP, focus incessantly, on the superficial and drop the ball on the fundamental issues.  One of the reasons Democracy, historically, has never really represented the will of the people, goes all the way back to the attempt by the Ancient Greeks, including Plato, to graft democracy into class relations. 

The ancient Greeks already described their corruption of civil society in class forms, with terminology like oligarchy, plutocracy etc.  They also described it as a degenerative class process with other terms that included (class) "tyrants", and (class) "Empires".  Plato's attempt to splice egalitarian democracy into chattel slavery and Patriarchy, with his utopian form, The Republic, would reveal a historical lesson and another new class form, class democracies, class Republics, that was lost 2000 years plus later in the Enlightenment.

Still the ancient Greeks understood this degenerative principle, deforming principle, where surplus wealth, social wealth, and an inherent social principles, socialism, already in existence was transformed somehow into a class principle through the class structure and global dominance of class forces via Patriarchy.  In fact, the definition of warped social wealth, deformed social wealth is class relations,  the definition and class description by the ancient Greeks of civil societies, themselves corrupted by the class process.  This put the Greeks of 2000 years plus ahead of today's corporate media, neocon analysis, and liberal apologists who do not even acknowledge the role of this generic deformed principle, as class outcomes, throughout our class history.

The lesson that was lost, and still is lost in these superficial examinations of individuals, by class ideology, corporate media is  that Clinton and Obama, and the voting process, transitional process have very little to do with democracy, and everything to do with the class process, where corporate interests, imperial interests, former warmongers, liberal warhawks, are used to betray democracy, subordinate social interests for class interests, and Empire as it did in Plato's time.

Plato was forced to use "noble lies", class mythology, that today have become class ideologies, to bridge the gap between social power and class power, that never succeeded.   So long as class relations dominate globally, through a series of linked class hierarchies, whether internally, or externally as city states or nation states, no social revolution or democratic revolution has ever succeeded, and cannot succeed, until it removes, and negates all class hierarchies throughout the world.

This requires an alliance between the working and middle classes, where this generic and historical class structure, in existence since Patrirarchy,  which fractures this social middle, by creating unpaid enslaved, lower classes below the middle class is itself negated, so that no social division exists below the moral and social principle of wealth, and then extending them , negating these class hierarchies throughout the world to develop what was inteded in Plato's time , in the Enlightenment, and socialist movements under Marxism, to create a social middle class that could not be made fearful, fractured, divided, and servile, like today's deformed middle class hierarchies that are the fertilizer for oligarchies and class wealth.

Bottom line, to corporate media, corporate, class ideologies, is who cares about individuals when the process is a class, degenerative principle that has nothing to do with real democracy, and everything to do with their whoring class outlook.  Hillary Clinton and a whole host of class and imperial insiders have betrayed democracy and the people who voted for Barack, for change we can believe in.  Obama has capitulated to corporate fascism and Hillary is but one cog in that machine.

Pamela Drew:

When you have corporate democrats and corporate republicans agreeing to be the stewards of corporate fascism and Empire, and both agreeing that OBAMA is their servant, you know most people have no clue.   Here is a link to Alternet which makes this point.  The Liberal class establishment is just as capable of being custodians for corporate fascism.  They are all class "toadies" (click on link)

Quite the line up, the ecomaginary change we can pretend we believe in! 

Yeah right!  So he and Al Gore can go give North Korea another 80 billion of our tax payers money. 

I agree, Richardson would have been a much better choice. Still, this can work, but only if both Bill and Hilliary change their habit of "leaking" negatives to the press when they're unhappy about a policy of decision like they've done for many years. They need to understand and accept that Barack is the boss and they are not co-presidents in any way shape or form. If they don't agree with Obama on something they need to only complain in private, or quit. In public Hillary needs to snap a salute and say "Yes Sir!" and do as she's told by Barack.

Exactly.

She will continue to be a thorn in his side, and Bill Clinton will be petulant and challenge Mr. Obama's authority. This is an accommodation of Obama's frenemies.

I hope for the best, yet fear for the worst.

Thank you Democrates, not only are the Immoral Adulterying Clintons back at the top of our Great Nation,

Yes, because the Republicans have never had problems with morality, adultery, eithics or even pedophilia.  Either you are trying to mislead, or you have a selective memory.

BTW, didn't McCain cheat on his first wife?  I'm pretty sure that he was tagging Cindy while he was still married to his first wife.  You might want to add him to your list of those guilty of adultry.

now we have an admitted pot head for President

Not to be confused with the alcoholic cokehead that we have had in office for the past eight years.

I totally agree, my stance was to not vote for any ticket that includes a Clinton again, ever, now my vote has been bastardised and my goal of at least attempting to put new blood in a overly bribed corrrupt political system has been shortchanged. I hope she stays overseas.

Somehow I just don't get it! Here we have a legislator that supported and approved at the time of the vote our invasion of Irag. This is the same basic position and mistake Bush lead us into. So now we have this person appointed to Sec. of State,  WHY?  If this isn't  politics at it's worst  I must be really confused and very out of touch.

"now we have an admitted pot head for President"

Gee, How angry were you that we had an alcoholic Coke head for the last 8 years?

Barbie Hill - Good choice. Clinton will do a greet job.

Why does that look ironic to me ?

I got the impression during the campaign from things he said, that specifically regarding women Obama is what is referred to in street vernacular as a "chump".

I dont think that disposition will negatively hobble his ability to govern on the whole, but I expect it will crop up to subtly taint his decision making periodically.

(Was that a pun ?)

Ahhh the halls of power.The backroom deal made many months ago plays out.

Wow, you must be very important to have access to information about all of the backroom deals that were made.  Some people might think that you are making it up, and really have no idea what you are talking about.

Very important indeed,and be careful.I'll rip that yellow smiley face patch right off that blue vest you wear at work.And give me some credit, I specifically told her i believed it would be better to pick the left hand,the Supreme Court seat.She wouldn't hear it.

Cherie Blair was very much a public figure. After leaving office, Tony Blair joined her and converted to Catholicism.

P.M. Gordon Brown's wife is lower profile, but the French P.M. Nicolas Sarkozy is married to a renowned supermodel, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.

   Another where's the change crappy post. Change is in the way Washington relates to the way the country is run and new Ideas that help every citizen. If obama nominates the devil and we change from the way Bush ran the country I will be happy. All that talk of where is the change at this point is as juvenile as some high school kid not seeing the entire picture and writing an essay on the wrong subject. Just makes those poster look stupid as a rock.

Dump,its not enough for a politician to surround himself at the podium during speeches with people wearing blue "Change" T-shirts.Staging 20 or 30 classic "victim" looking, helmet wearing,drooling window lickers,the short the tall the fat the ugly,the wheelchair bound the dark the light,all holding signs the say "Hope",that all looks fine during an election.The Republicans have their props of course,the clean cut button downed white folks with the occasional VFW hat amongst them.If I picked your shop to paint my car black and I come back later in the day and you're hauling out buckets of silver paint what am I to assume?That the sprayer works better with silver paint but I should trust you,it'll come out looking black in the end?I actually hope his presidency is a success and have no illusions about the last 8 years,or 16 for that matter.I just have to call the Republicrats on their bs.And yes,feel free to bust me on the term "Republicrat".This place wouldn't be fun if we all sat around nodding and patting each other on the back for how smart we all are.And speaking of juvenile Log Dump,I liked your posting over at RateMyPoo.com.

How in the world you can even say that, is beyond me.  When Bill disgraced the nation....afterwards he spent all his time abroad.  Abroad WHO we don't know.  But I'm sure he was on some BROAD.

I've even heard rumors from the American Red Cross the guy was over in Africa doing little kids.

Yikes!!!

That's not even the bad part,he didn't even give a little reach around or utilize  local organic based petroleum jelly.

Zoikes!!!

you mean like Monica????

It has already self-destructed under the GOP.

So it can only remain the same or improve.

she would only be the 2nd greatest leader ever, after Barack...

she supported the senseless Iraq war.
