Gods and Fogs

Stereotypes based on the traditional planetary gods could, with a little imagination, be linked to well known political figures who, after all, are our flesh and blood (tongue-in-cheek) equivalent to Greek and Roman gods. For instance Mars = Winston Churchill (because of his talent for directing war and his will to never give in). Mercury = Bill Clinton( because of his ability to communicate at all levels, and his shadow, the trickster). Pluto = Richard Nixon (dark deeds, subterfuge). Uranus = Martin Luther King Jnr, (peaceful rebellion to help humanity in general). Saturn = Patrick Fitzgerald the consummate incorruptible lawyer). There is no doubt, in my mind, that Barack Obama would have to be foggy, mysterious Neptune.

As days and weeks go by the Neptunian fog which I always see surrounding Obama doesn't clear. In some areas the swirling mists have even seemed to thicken since I last approached the topic here and here.

The birth certificate mystery persists - update available HERE. I swing from belief to disbelief on this issue. The mists clear somewhat then come swirling in again! My best guess is that Obama has something embarrassing to hide, but it's not something which would impede his candidacy. I can't imagine how he could have come this far without some official checks having been made. It may suit his purpose to have bloggers spending time and energy on this rather than some other mystery.

More of the Larry Craig debacle at CITIZEN WELLS - posts dated 2 and 3 July. Craig was arrested after a press conference on what he alleges is a fraudulent, fabricated charge emanating from the state of Delaware. He retained an attorney, who let him down by withdrawing the evening before his hearing, leaving no time to find a replacement. There is mystery surrounding this too. He has a new attorney now, and obtained a continuance of the hearing to later this month. Subversive goings on surround the whole situation, it would seem that powerful forces are acting against a guy, whose story ought to have been fully investigated long ago, and put to rest if it contains no substance. The fog surrounding this particular tale could lead Obama adrift onto dangerous rocks if he doesn't allow it to be fully addressed and investigatged.

New fog warnings have been upsetting many of Obama's supporters recently. His flip-flops on some key issues have sent mild shock-waves through his base. Having said one thing, he did another. A precise summary of these flips and flops appeared here at Liberal Rapture,last week.

I used to be a regular reader and occasional commenter at Common Dreams until Obamamania took over. I've recently noticed rumblings of discontent about their hero - do they really know him? Neptune's fog has, inevitably, drifted into the heart of Obamaland.
