Does anyone remember an anti BNP rally in Trafalgar Square Billy performed (the exact year escapes me) I have a cd of the performance and I remember Billy's comments about race, class and above all cynicism! Cynicism is the greatest evil To quote Billy "Cynics have all the answers and they are all the wrong answers!Well last night Obama took a page from Billy. He spoke of cynicism how cynics masquerade as intellectuals They are not. They claim to have some understanding of human nature but they don't What they are emulating is fancy form of surrender! We can't we won't we're fucked up etc.
Well last night someone had the audacity to challenge that dogma. He blew me away. Iam impressed.
Sí, se puede Yes we can!

Some days we see the point.
Well done Obama.
