>Walter Mosley, who is a great mystery writer (I devoured all his Easy Rowlins books), speaks to Amy Goodman at "Democracy Now!" today.  Interesting stuff about his background, race, etc. but when he gets to electoral politics he's a confused mess.  He talks all about how Clinton was getting away with for the rich because he was a Democrat, but says he "likes" Clinton, Clinton praised him as a favorite writer and invited him to the White House, etc.  On Obama Mosley's take is that things aren't going well because "we" just got him elected and "we" just thought he would take care of things.  Evidently "we" didn't give him enough support.  And Mosley who campaigned for Obama in 2008 says he'll do it again.

>What will the lesser of two evils crowd do if Santorum is not chosen by the Republicans?  How will they find an ounce of difference between Romney and Obama?  The only difference I see is Obama gave billions to the General Motors corporation and Romney at the time wanted an unassisted bankruptcy.   Obama happened to be in Wisconsin on the one year anniversary of the uprising against the coup by Governor Scott Walker and said not one word about the great struggle.

Talk about mindlessness.   Obama won't even hold the Democratic Convention in a union hotel and the (extremely well paid) union leaders can't think of anything to do but shovel him money.
