Midknight Review -- new and revised: When Peter Fonda and Black Professor Cornel West resent your presidency, well, you know you are in deep do-do.

The following gives you a little more insight into the angst being expressed by the Uber Left, from whence Obama came. These folks thought Obama was on "their side," a fellow socialist, will to use the power of the presidency to "fundamentally transform" this country. He is a huge disappoint to these people, and they are beginning to make their disgust a public affair. He is being criticized by Ed Shultze and Keith Olbermann and even the Maddow woman. Oprah will not offer her public endorsement of Obama. Michael Moore has publicly excoriated the man on several occasions. There are articles in yesterday's paper documenting the anger of many established but left leaning journalist, angry with Obama's hateful treatment of anyone in the press who dares to off serious criticism.

CANNES, France — Peter Fonda launched a four-letter attack on US President Barack Obama at the Cannes film festival on Wednesday, calling him a traitor over the handling of the aftermath of the Gulf oil spill.

The star of the 1969 road movie "Easy Rider" was in Cannes for the premiere of "The Big Fix" by Rebecca and Josh Tickell, the only feature documentary in the official selection at the Cannes film festival this year.

Fonda -- a keen environmentalist and co-producer of the film which centres on the explosion of the BP oil rig Deepwater Horizon, the ensuing spill and its consequences -- accused Washington of trying to gag reporting on the issue.

"I sent an email to President Obama saying, 'You are a f(expletive) traitor,' using those words... 'You're a traitor, you allowed foreign boots on our soil telling our military -- in this case the coastguard -- what they can and could not do, and telling us, the citizens of the United States, what we could or could not do'."

Fonda, who said he sent the email last week, appears in "The Big Fix" trying to get on to Louisiana beaches to assess the impact of the biggest oil spill in US history, only to be turned away by BP clean-up personnel.

Speaking at a press event at the American Pavilion to promote the film, Fonda denounced BP as "a bunch of Brits -- I thought we kicked them out a long time ago. They tried to get back in in 1812, but they didn't make it." end of quote.

This headline, below, presents the debate over Obama within the Black community and especially, within Black Academia. I have included the link because of the debate it documents.

Cornel West on Obama is no better than a birther —

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
