Correspondence on Obama from a Prisoner

This Could Lead People to Support this Juggernaut and All Its Death and Destruction

Greetings Comrades:

Well, let me get straight to the point of this missive. I’ve been hollerin’ at the brothers here about the election and what it means but it’s so hard to get past the cult of Obama… It’s now the day after the election and I just received the new paper “The Morning After Elections: What Are You Gonna Do Now?” I started to read it didn’t even finish page 3 and I had to stop to write to you.

I’ve been feeling saddened and just lost to see how thoroughly people both here and there have got overwhelmed by Obama. And how good he was at getting people to support him irregardless of the reality he represents. Even some people who should know better…

Don’t know why it hurts me so bad but I feel life is too short and time may not be our luxury and to lose people this way… Well, it’s just a bit much. But I also know I can’t speak from my anger if I want to be part of this work to pull the blinders off of people’s eyes. But for me it’s all too familiar—the first Black and all the have faith talk. Let the majority of us rot away or are reduced to caricatures. But somehow this is worst because this has the potential to buy souls. This could lead people to support this juggernaut and all its death and destruction. And for that I’m weary.

We have much work to do. You guys will have to be real thorough because I’m leaning on you to give me the [literature] I need to change others. I will get over the hurt, but only to the degree I’m able to challenge this monster and all its representatives.

Unabashedly Communist.
