I’m very cautious of the fact that those who think he has some second agenda and only if he could be given a second term for us to see the new light, new things will be revealed, new efforts will be made to take us to a place other than where we’ve been and where we languish. I just don’t trust that. I don’t believe that’s a safe way and accurate way to look at this scenario. If there was the kind of moral compass serving Barack Obama the way we hoped, the moral force would have helped him make choices, the absence of that force in his equations, that barometer to guide him when he has to make these decisions that are hugely complicated, he should have come to the table with the things that would have helped us in this moment of crisis.”



Sounds like someone took that whole Messiah shtick a tad too seriously.

I think Belafonte mistook Obama for Lenin. He wants the revolution, NOW! My concern is what Belafonte says about "some second agenda" for the second term. I believe that Belafonte is reacting to certain 'dog whistles' that are being given to the far-left to try to keep them on board. My concern is that there is more truth in the plans for "new efforts" than Belafonte is giving credit for, because Obama believes what Belafonte believes. He is just hemmed in by the traditions of a Constitutional government he is too weak to destroy, so he's nibbling at it like a termite.
