Coyote Ugly: The term arises from the behavior of coyotes, which (among other canines), when caught in a jaw-trap will gnaw off a leg in order to escape death.
Mr. Obama the candidate ensnared supporters with implied intent and disarming good looks. The President-elect rewards and reinvigorates the status quo that he campaigned against as his captives give their blessings and recusals. The great election production of 2008 buried controversial issues beneath decades of conventional ignorance. One empty suit has been replaced with another.
I never figured Obama would be a great champion of truth and morality in government but clung to a modicum of hope that if he won the election he’d reveal an inherent willingness to move U.S. domestic and global policies in a more just and sane direction. Johann Galtung figures Obama has one way out.
If the Clintons are appointed Secretaries of State, what hope is there he’d take it?
