<DIV>We hear all the time that the Obama campaign and presidency mark the
triumph of savvy black political power. The truth however, explained BAR
Executive Editor Glen Ford, is that the rise of Barack Obama has checkmated
historic black demands for justice at home and peace abroad, and neutralized the
broader American left. Ford spoke at the New England Anti-War Conference in
Boston, January 30.</DIV>
