While President-elect Obama made references to “sharing the wealth”, it can be safely assumed that all who voted for him heard what they wanted to hear and are hoping that their individual expectations will miraculously be met. It is truly historic and speaks well of the American people that a man of mixed race and such humble beginnings has been elevated to the office of president. It does not speak well of them that they trust their future to soaring rhetoric and an astonishingly thin resume. Disappointment is inevitable. It is difficult to share wealth when capital goes on strike in the face of uncertainty. Selfish politicians who enabled the housing debacle are still in power. As the hopeful will soon learn, “not all the animals are equal.” This film version of Animal Farm, by George Orwell runs 89 minutes. Link is HERE
