"No one grasps this tragic descent better than West, who did 65 campaign events for Obama, believed in the potential for change and was encouraged by the populist rhetoric of the Obama campaign. "



I just see it as more proof that the political elite have only personal interest driving them. The party lines do not matter, playing American versus American via party lines is just a distraction. The real power comes from Wall Street.

As much as I agree with you, this article reads like sour grapes... Obama didn't kiss this guy's ass enough, so now he's crying about it.

Are you serious?

Cornel West?

I've seen him on Bill Maher's show and he's good for a laugh but he's completely insane.

Yea, because the left is always stuck curing the problems caused by the insanity for 30 years from the new right. It is the insanity of taking the US down the road of short term corporatist greed and warmongering, debt driven profit-seeking and turning America if we couldn't just borrow it all...into little more than a 3rd world country with just a big navy.

By comparison, the today's right is anything but conservative and in fact are now themselves...the insane political elitists they bemoaned for those 30 years.

Oh and BTW, presidents are puppets and these blogs are only so much partisan window dressing about betrayal providing the function of keeping the divide and distraction alive. Think Reagan who didn't play ball at the start, think of Paul O'Neil who told the truth (treason) (W's former treasury sec.) didn't play ball and was fired mid-term.

Obama is doing what he must do...to stay alive.

He's not a leftist, he's a conspiracy nut that has gained a following because of his academic credentials.

But earning degrees does not mean you are less insane.

Yes it is hysterical.

Those on the wacked out left are unhappy.  Those on the wacked out right are unhappy.

Which leaves Obama where he always was much closer to a centrist.
