Wright and the Clintons
29 04 2008Just how cozy are the Clintons with Jeremiah Wright? Is Wright the best that the Clintons can do to attack Barack Obama? Perhaps there’s bit of “Britney Spears” in Jeremiah Wright. The press is all consumed with him just like they are with Spears.
On September 11, 1998, President Bill Clinton invited Jeremiah Wright to the White House. They are looking quite friendly in this photo op.
As long as the press can keep their focus on the “snippet” world of Jeremiah Wright, they don’t have to focus on the Clinton connection with Monsanto. You know, Monsanto, the largest agri-business corporation. This is the very corporation that brought us rBGH milk. Even though testing has shown the chemical rBGH to cause death and illness in cows that are injected with this hormone and the presence of pus in the cows’ milk, the USDA allows farmers to inject cows with this growth hormone. I don’t know about you, but I prefer my milk products without pus. The USDA is basically managed by former Monsanto executives that were placed into these high positions by Bill Clinton as “pay back” for favors.
By keeping Jeremiah Wright in the news, the voters may not notice the connection between the Clintons and Monsanto. This connection is so vile that an alumna of Hillary’s wrote a letter. Read it “An Open Letter to Hillary Clinton from a Wellesley College Alumna”.
Barack Obama did the right thing by showing his outrage at Jeremiah Wright’s comments today.
Corporate America and right-wing owned media is deathly afraid of Barack Obama because he will expose how corporations such as Monsanto are using Americans without their permission for testing their chemicals by putting them in our food products without disclosing their presence. The media doesn’t want to have their “yellow” journalism exposed.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
Mohandas Gandhi
Where are we in this quotation? I think “they” have ignored us and “they” have been laughing at us… the Jeremiah Wright stories indicate that “they” are beginning to fight us.
TheZoo has another perspective on this story.
Yes, we can… we will win if we nominate and elect Barack Obama as the next President of the United States.
UPDATE: Here’s something from the DailyKos. And from the LATimes blog. The very fact that Barack Obama gave Jeremiah Wright the benefit of the doubt back in March demonstrates that Barack is NOT part of the DC politics as usual. We all know Hillary and Bill ARE DC politicians.

There is no serious difference between Obama and Clinton with regard to agri-business issues.
Check this about who’s with whom NOW:
One of Obama’s top guys came in last fall from a Monsanto PR firm.
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2007/09/28/mercado_mosk.html
excerpt:
“Moses Mercado… [until joining O's campaign was] a lobbyist with Ogilvy Government Relations who is registered to represent several dozen big-name clients, including the National Rifle Association, the Carlyle Group, the Blackstone Group, Monsanto, Pfizer Inc., United Health Group, Sempra Energy and Constellation Energy.
His resume seems to contradict one of Obama’s central themes on the campaign trail — that as an outsider he can fend of the powerful business interests that he has argued have contributed to the income gap between rich and poor and has frustrated attempts to address issues such as high prescription drug costs and global warming…”
Let’s look for believable signs that one or another candidate might improve USA governance starting post-inauguration in 2009. There’s little evidence that either of these candidates is paticularly progressive. Both are political products, only their marketing campaigns are significantly different.
What matters now is postponing the next Republican Presidency.
The true progressive candidates were dumped by the media a long time ago. If one is looking for a progressive candidate in November, then they should write-in “Dennis Kucinich” or “Mike Gravel”.
