Barak Obama borrows a page from Baal Shem Tov

David Brooks penned anther noteworthy article about Obamas’s 180 on the public financing, definitely a must read: The Two Obamas - Op-Ed - NYTimes.com “Even Bill Clinton wasn’t smart enough to succeed in politics by pretending to renounce politics.”

I was thinking about the remarkable hypocrisy of Obama who vowed "to stop the politics of Washington as we know it". He is following in the footsteps of Chassidim and their successors in the Kremlin. The students of the Maggid hired the best PR agency in Podolia with the task of spreading the word about the rescue of the simple, poor man and then they promptly established absolutist monarchical, feudal, hereditary kingdoms in collusion with the oligarchs of the time. Similarly the Kremlin communists came to bail out the proletariat and promptly established the dictatorship where you can be imprisoned if you are 15 minutes late to your obligatory work. It seems that Obama is going down the same proven path.
