Barack Obama, a master of bait-and-switch.
Cynthia McKinney Deserves Your Support, Obama Does Not
A Campaign Foreign Policy Focus by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
Former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who seems poised to capture the Green Party presidential nomination, in Chicago, this month, "is at this juncture in history the only vehicle through which progressives can both register their outrage at Barack Obama and begin the process of rebuilding a mass, Black-led movement for real social change." Meanwhile, the frequency of Obama's Right turns seem to increase in direct proportion to the nearness of the general election. "Surely no one with a brain any longer believes that Obama is a closet progressive, or even a genuine liberal." The question is, How many progressives will put their votes and resources to honorable use?
"Cynthia McKinney's campaign is the last opportunity to threaten Obama with a backlash against his betrayals of progressive principles."
