[Dialogue] Obama/Wright - demythologize and frame of reference

Elections shifted ­ long ago ­ and around the world - from functioning at
the ³interpretive level² to primarily operating on the ³reflective level.²
They are more about feelings, images, associations and connections ­ no
matter their validity ­ than they are about substance, policies, and
direction. The politicians operate in the same way major advertising does.
Driving X car is not going to get you that svelte woman sitting on the hood,
but the image and connection has been made.


If Obama¹s opposition ­ in the Democratic party and far beyond ­ can tar him
with a ³tainted² brush, some will regard that paint - the connections,
however spurious, as real. He can denounce Wright all he likes, but I
suspect the connection has been made in the minds of those who do not think
beyond the reflective level.
