I hope have not grown overly cynical, but I have to wonder if Obama has delivered or if it's too soon to judge, obstacles of the old guard still in place. But the new boss is looking a lot like the old boss, in terms of policy and promises. Especially after seeing the hollow performance from the other night on sending more US troops to Afghanistan and bullying the European Bloc into committing more, I feel sorely disappointed. I wonder if it was not all a cruel hoax, and that the media darling isn't just another tool of the international banking conspiracy. I feel cheated. I don't want to be duped, nor do I want his supporters, hopeful and weary, to feel that their confidence was misplaced. Scarier things are brewing too. I think the world is more comfortable with the idea of a New World Order, a world super government, since the launch of the European Union. It's still quaint and Old World after all, and the French are still the French and the Germans are still the Germans, and there's even room for quirks like the Holy See or princely Lichtenstein. Maybe people think that's what the corporate overlords have planned for them.
