Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet, who characterizes himself as a one-time “brain-dead liberal.”

Mamet said, “I did a few years’ worth of reading and came to a different understanding of economics and philosophy” and my lesson is that the three branches of government, having failed to uphold the Constitution and the press having failed to uphold its responsibility to tell the truth, there’s nobody home but us chickens.

“Us chickens are the votership and we citizens are going to have to make up our minds and vote according to the understanding of our responsibilities.”


Mamet says he noticed the difference between the two world leaders during the Israeli prime minister’s address to Congress last month........“I heard [Obama’s] speech, and I read Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech and I said to myself, ‘Why can’t we, America, have a leader like Netanyahu because we sure as hell need one.”

Mamet said his fellow Chicagoan (obama) comes from a long line of presidents, including Franklin D. Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, “who have never worked a day in their life” and “it’s the vision of the anointed, that they had somehow been anointed and they know better than everyone else around them.”
