Most of the world is giddy about the inauguration of the first black president of the United States. The media has invested unprecedented air time to transform this man into a modern messiah. The celebration is not because he is black. Far better qualified black candidates, such as Condoleezza Rice, Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell would not be celebrated, nor even welcomed as president. In fact, Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell, both black Secretaries of State, were ridiculed as "Uncle Tom" and "Aunt Jemima" by many of the same people who celebrate Obama.

Obama's color may be a bonus, but it is his philosophy that much of the world celebrates.

Much of the world sees Obama not simply as the first black president, but as the first president to accept global governance to be more important than U.S. governance. His Berlin speech last July promised "a new global partnership" and a new "global commitment" to "save the planet."

To implement his commitment to global governance, Obama has nominated Hillary Clinton to be Secretary of State. In addition to her book, "It takes a village," Hillary is on record in support of the World Federalist Association's efforts to establish a world government, and publically applauded Walter Cronkite's receipt of the WFA "Global Governance" award.

Obama has named Carol Browner to the new position of Energy Czar. This woman, until last week, was a Commissioner for the Socialist International Commission for a Sustainable World Society. Browner's new position requires no confirmation and is beyond Congressional oversight. She will be empowered to administratively implement Obama's philosophy across all federal agencies.

Obama chose Erick Schwartz to coordinate his transition team's interface with agencies that deal with the United Nations. Schwartz is, among other things, the person in the Clinton administration who "managed the White House review that resulted in the U.S. signature of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court." In an effort to influence the Obama administration's global governance agenda, Citizens for Global Solutions set up a conference call with the transition team. These organizations are advocates of global governance and are deeply embedded throughout the Obama administration.

Obama's inauguration is a major, historic event. Many black people -- and some whites - will weep because they have lived to see a black man elected president. Many white people -- and some blacks - will weep because they have lived to see an American president who apparently puts global interests above the interests of the United States of America.
