Cornel West on Obama
18th May 2011
Cornel West, who is the Class of 1943 university professor at Princeton, calls President Obama “a black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats.”
Princeton ’43 must have been a sparse harvest.
The Boston Globe reports: “West also recounts personal slights by Obama — that his phone calls didn’t get returned, and that he couldn’t get a ticket with his mother and brother to the inauguration.”
As Professor West puts it: “brother Barack Obama had no sense of gratitude, no sense of loyalty, no sense of even courtesy.”
I guess West has turned into a Republican. Pity.

Do we get cheese and crackers to go with that whine?
