A Sour Note

The classical quartet of some of music's foremost luminaries played a previously recorded track at the inauguration. Not much of a scandal as scandals go, but Obama is full of fakery. Atmospherics are essential to him, symbols matter. He has already broken campaign pledges about not hiring lobbyists, running the most ethical administration, and bringing in the new. He has refurbished members of the Clinton administration, right down to recycling the former first lady herself at the State Department. There is little "change" in D.C. The truth is emerging that he is not the raging moderate he campaigned as, but an abortion pusher and a radical. He is not pro-choice, a misnomer, but a proponent of wanton foeticide, if not downright infanticide (leaving babies who have somehow survived abortion to die unattended in broom closets was fine with him when he was in the Illinois state legislature). The old-line press is this apotheosis' team of apologists and flunkies and his adoring public are not reasoned voters but groupies.
