THE VICTORY TO BE CELEBRATED
(As African Americans have won the Democratic Primaries, I would like to celebrate their victory, listening to "Louisiana Mama," since New Orleans is in Louisiana…

The best things in life are free. No, actually not, since such things can even come with big money so lucratively offered, say, as campaign finance.
But, they are sometimes under authority provisionally at the hands of the Devil.
That is why I am highly concerned with money Presidential Candidate Mr. Barack Obama took in so far, while so many poor Americans have no big money.

----------
If without big money, one million dollars per day, Mr. Barack Obama could not have won the primaries, it should be money but not his faith in God that has set him up as the winner in the Democratic Primaries.
----------
Meanwhile, Obama is also continuing to rake in money. He's reportedly bringing in about $1 million (688,00) per day in donations, with Clinton only raising about half that.

----------
What I want to say is that Mr. Barack Obama is not a Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ taught and saved people by being poor Himself. In contrast, Mr. Barack Obama has become a winner in a political race, highly relying on big money, that is, $1 million per day.
Mr. Barack Obama should have rejected to receive such big money per day, if he wants to be a politician following Jesus Christ.
Now you will not be surprised if you find that he loves Bilderbergers more than poor Americans living on the streets in Chicago, Los Angeles, or New Orleans.
But, Arabs were reportedly surprised.

Obama told the influential annual policy conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Council (Aipac): "Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided."
His comments appalled Palestinians who see occupied East Jerusalem as part of a future Palestinian state…
Obama also had harsh words for Iran, vowing to work to "eliminate" the threat it posed to security in the Middle East and around the globe…

Indeed, it looks like many Japanese, including those who have abundant and long experiences in political circles and government office, are nowadays wondering what is happening in the U.S., since Mr. Barack Obama has defeated Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Presidential Primaries.
No more racial discrimination is America? African Americans are now enjoying the middle-class life with the same ratio of European Americans, among their corresponding racial groups? The crime rate among African Americans is now equal to that among European Americans? What change has happened in the United States while the second largest economy Japan is missing it?
That is why I am writing today’s article in this manner.
I am doing so, since much more people in the world must be wondering than in Japan.
The author of the novel "Invisible Man," Ralph Ellison, wrote in 1975:
----------
More and more blacks, apparently, are now beginning to see the black experience as an American experience, and to recognize that it is conditions in this country rather than our "African heritage" which must dictate the values by which we live. They are also corning to realize that such values must he primarily concerned with perfecting our mastery of the cultural and intellectual tools of modern American society.
As this realization sets in, the growth of a large middle-income group of black Americans could emerge as a momentous event in American history. For the first time since slavery, large numbers of Afro-Americans will have the financial ability and leisure time necessary to utilize libraries, bookstores, magazines, theaters, opera houses and other cultural and intellectual apparatus and institutions. The test is whether they do so.

----------
From a historical point of view, the phenomenon of the "Obama’s Rise" can be handled in the above context, since the author of “Invisible Man” has a universal sense and spirit to present part of truth in humanity.
Nonetheless, as I once wrote, it is President Mr. George W. Bush who virtually paved the way for Mr. Barack Obama’s success, since he appointed Mr. Colin Powell and Ms. Condoleezza Rice as Secretary of State.
It is no wonder at all that African Americans who account for 26% of effective Democrats came to in real think about acting in a body and choosing one of their fellows as the official candidate for the U.S. President.
And, non African-Americans but also non-European Americans among the Democratic Party accounting for 32% could split; hence, one third, namely other 11% of effective Democrats should vote for Mr. Obama.
Among European American Democrats, with a share of 42% among effective Democrats, I suppose 15 per 42 must have voted for Mr. Obama, for various liberal or radical reasons, thus giving 52 (= 26 + 11 + 15) percent votes to Mr. Obama, which made him prevail over Mrs. Clinton with 48% of total votes and supports. It is 52 to 48.
Yet, it is true that money makes a white a black and a black a white.

Black Americans Split Into Rich and Poor
More and more there are two kinds of African Americans –- the ones with education and jobs and those with neither. The problem is that the more “color blind” blacks become, the more they gravitate toward whites and away from their brethren at the bottom of the economic ladder…
The survey also found that pessimism about economic prospects has grown significantly among blacks. Fewer than half of those polled, 44 percent said they expected life to get better. Twenty years ago, 57 percent had said they thought life would improve…
African Americans of all stripes are highly patriotic and concerned about a concentration of economic power as are whites. They share the general belief in the benefits of hard work -- and are equally admiring of those who acquire wealth through hard work…

----------
But Jesus Christ is simply telling to give money, whether obtained through hard work, to poor people for free.
It is not the acquiring of wealth through hard work but the giving of money having been so acquired to poor people that should be admired.
The very difference between a Political Revolution and a Religious Revolution really lies here.
A political revolution, of which Mr. Obama can be part at best, is far less revolutionary than a religious revolution in which Mr. Obama himself cannot continue to be rich since he has to give all of his money to poor neighbors.
That is why I am telling you that nothing drastic has happened in the U.S. that would transcend the paradigm presented by Ralph Ellison in 1975, since Mr. Obama looks like going to befriend Bilderbergers than followers of Jesus Christ who must be always poor per day.
(In contrast in a sense, the most popular politician in Japan is still former Prime Minister Mr. Jyunichiro Koizumi.
Even top career women in Japan would not hesitate at all to admit his extraordinary popularity based on which some elite ladies entered the political arena actually.
The Former Prime Minister was once nicknamed “The Lion Premier.”
But an image I have had of a US President is a lion since I saw the face of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in a film related to Pearl Harbor Day very long time ago.

Isa 65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.
