"The real question is what Mr. Obama and his inner circle are thinking. Do they really believe, after all this time, that gestures of appeasement to the G.O.P. will elicit a good-faith response? What's even more puzzling is the apparent indifference of the Obama team to the effect of such gestures on their supporters." Methinks perhaps Team Obama hopes that, if they can only be good boys and girls and crawl obsequiously enough on their bellies, their Repub monopoly partners will reward them with a "designated loser" candidate in 2012 - Sarah Palin anyone? - along the lines of Bob Dole in 1996. At least that's what the Clinton script they've been reading from - and what a dull, mechanically delivered and wooden reading it has been - says. Well, that's the only sense I can make of it. Otherwise one must conclude that they're just frickin' idiots. Meanwhile enjoying the Pwog meltdown: the Dems really are a dead end, told you so. The "leaders" are doing all they can not to draw the proper lesson from this. They'll talk about anything rather than admit that Obama is and was always a political enemy and that they were had. Running Scary Sarah will also serve to keep them in line and dampen down any serious electoral challenge from the left. What a bunch of sheep. Things won't change until the old generation of leftist "leaders" are flushed down historys' proverbial toilet. -Matt ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
