Pollack's History

Here is an interesting excerpt by Norman Pollack from his book-in-progress.

While I agree with Pollack that Obama seems a willing functionary of our militarist economy, I'm not equally certain that he is necessarily content with his role therein or believes his own rhetoric.

Where many others would deliberately deceive, Obama is simply overwhelmed by the vagaries of power.  Our choice often appears to be between the deceivers and the inept.

Perhaps it can be no other way.
