Barak Obama: reaching out without selling out
Barak Obama accommodates without conceding any ground.
Americans are suspicious of labels and suspicious of jargon.
They don't think George Bush is mean-spirited or prejudiced, but
have become aware that his administration is irresponsible and
often incompetent. They don't think that corporations are inherently
evil (a lot of them work in corporations), but they recognize that
big business, unchecked, can fix the game to the detriment of working
people and small entrepreneurs. They don't think America is an
imperialist brute, but are angry that the case to invade Iraq was
exaggerated, are worried that we have unnecessarily alienated
existing and potential allies around the world, and are ashamed
by events like those at Abu Ghraib which violate our ideals as a
country.
