We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Of course, there was no "old Obama". The "President of the United States" was long ago (beginning with the assassination of J.F. Kennedy) converted by our hidden ruling class into a propaganda (aka public relations) office to serve the ruling class. Obama knew this when he was selected for this position, and he is faithfully carrying out his responsibilities as instructed by his ruling class bosses.

Obama was mostly raised by his banker grandmother in Hawaii, and he adopted her values. His indoctrination was further reinforced by his education in elite private schools in Hawaii, then Columbia and Harvard. He has had little difficulty in accepting and carrying out his assignment. By carefully cultivating this man who has an outward racial appearance of an African-American to race-conscious Americans, our masters have tricked Americans once again into believing that anything would change by an election.
