In this video Michael Albert responds to the following question: What is your opinion about Obama? I would like also to ask you to elaborate more on what you wrote in your recent Znet article
(http://www.zcommunications.org/blog/view/1355). More specifically you say: “Those who say they, or at least Obama, echoes JFK have a much much better claim to accuracy - but that accuracy doesn't excite me. Kennedy was in substance a gigantic trojan horse horror for the planet and society, a kind of massive fraud: cute, clever, confident, and charasmatic, but system preserving in every other respect, and in many dimensions, system aggravating. You can hide a lot behind inspiring words and big smiles, it turns out. Saying Obama is cut from that cloth is not a testimonial, it is just saying he has better camouflage than Clinton.”
