Its kinda hard to distinguish those revolutionaries, after all there isn't much difference between old George Washington and Che or Mao then is there?What is interesting about this, though, is the superficial comparison it draws. Whatever your feelings about him, Che Guevara has become the "Nike Swoop" of revolutionary change, the "Classic Coke" of fighting the power. Without embracing Che, Obama might actually benefit from the juxtaposition, as he positions himself as the challenge to Hillary Clinton's status quo. Couldn't you just see these t-shirts?

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I have to pace myself that BB posts are most effective when they contain one idea.
Dammit, that's two ideas,now. At least.
