OWS as Obama's Social movement? Stand behind the middle class? This might be the "Lincoln turn". I love Cornel West... this was great!

Not at all, i wasn't addressing the 2008 election specifically. McCain is a senile idiot, a typical Washington insider and dangerous war hawk-- that being said i was more than happy to vote for Obama.
In hindsight, i bought into the hype that Obama was the answer to shaking up the corrupt, self-serving establishment driving our great nation into the ground. But as it turns out he is just another slick talking politician who goes back on his promises after getting elected.

When I read "Can you imagine if the [non-existent] "white community" were to vote based on race??"
I couldn't help but laugh, as I don't have to imagine. The "hypothetical" situation you just presented us was reality for about 200 years of our nation's history. And would you rather the people to have supported McCain? I'd imagine that the country would be in the toilet bowl, as was it's direction during the bush era.
That said, i'm not exactly on Obama's Jock.

This must have been before West realized Obama is a corporate tool.

If Obama were white (fully white) Dr. West would not be so kind in his analysis. The black community generally supports Obama by why? Can you imagine if the [non-existent] "white community" were to vote based on race??
Obama duped Americans, he is a disingenuous fraud and a liar. The only good thing he has done is somehow prevented the war hawks from attacking Iran and launching a catastrophic WW3. Regardless, he's Bush Jr. and protects his Wall Street buddies just the same.
Racial hypocrisy.

@joneselius "or believe in God, but historically, when God is removed and the state given monopoly, terrible things happen."
Good point, theocracies have always done so much better than secular nations, historically. Saudi Arabia & Iran are two places I look forward to moving to.
