“There has never been such a void in moral truth as it now exists,” Belafonte said. “And what the expectation has been for many of us was that Barack Obama would bring to the table a great sense of moral fortitude

I love Harry and always have from the first time I heard him chant : Day O. But the reality is Harry being an entertainer and not being a politician and Barack Obama being a politician and POTUS are two different worlds. Harry is a high profile progressive "citizen" of this country who can say and do what he likes with no consequences other than he may lose some fans. As a citizen of the US as we all are, we don't have factual insight into what is really happening in this country and the world for as much as we think we know, we really don't know anything other than what someone in the media, government person, university economics professionals or some pundit tells us. The exterior of what we see and hear with the President and the current made up crisis is one dimensional when things are actually happening in 3D. When Obama was running for President he was privy to certain information, but only on the superficial level because he didn't have the necessary clearance to be given the big picture. The day after the election he was given a full security briefing as well as briefings on what actually is going on in the country and around the world-his reality shifted. For all of those who said he promised to do this or that-it's a campaign and politicians will say anything because based on what they know at the time, this is the reality they are operating from. The moral truths and moral fortitude Belafonte talks about sounds good but as Jack Nicholson says "You can't handle the truth"! From my perspective even if President Obama jumps on the Moral truth train, we'll never be told it because the media is owned by right wings conservatives hateful people who are in evil allegiance with the Republican Party, Untra-Conservative, Nazi's, Racist,Religious Right and now Tea Baggers whose only intention is to reduce the size of government to their standard and put "those people" back in the place to reestablish the natural order of things. Do you honest to God think they would allow "the truth" to be told in print or any other form of communication? That's not reality! Harry is in a privileged position to speak the "moral truth" and while it is the moral and ethical thing to do for humanity, the powers that be will never allow it. Most importantly, the majority of the American people will never believe it. They will never be able to comprehend and integrate it into their psyche. The dumbing down of the American people was implemented for this very purpose.

My gut feeling is telling me Obama is going to flip in his next term but he has to be elected which means appealing to those groups of people who will help achieve that like Independents who will go out and vote unlike Democratic who stay at home out of protest or because Republicans have rigged the voting in their state to the point that their votes will be challenged or eliminated due to some trumped up protocols put in place by the Tea Bagger Governors to reduce the Democratic vote. Yea, I believe he will be elected and I don't think he'll be primaried because it will split the party which has never been really stable. Think about the alternatives: Romney, Bachmann, Palin, Pawlentry. Seriously?
