I wondered about this around a year ago. The men behind the curtain set Obama in motion, but now that he is destroying the Democrat party, they will just as soon make him a lame duck.

I think it is just the nature of the Democrat party. The Dems have always been a coalition party, made up of many factions with mutually exclusive goals.

Whenever the party gets the White House, each faction tries to drag the party in their own direction, resulting in chaos. Only a strong executive can herd that mess... Clinton was able, Obama isn't.

The same thing happened back under Carter. Every powerful Democratic congressman thought he was co-president and tried to shape the agenda; foreign policy realists fought leak-battles against the idealists; urban ethnic political machines wrestled with rural Dixiecrats for dollars while blue-collar labor unions fought against fey academics for control of the party's soul.

Eventually each faction turned against Carter; none wanted to be associated with the malaise... a malaise caused not by them, of course, but by the faulty programs and priorities of the other Democrat factions.

Same thing is happening to Obama. It would be funny... if the whole nation didn't have to go along for the ride.

At the end you say "one can only hope", regarding Hillary Clinton. Is there really any hope regarding Hillary Clinton? She is just as bad as Obama. Either would be rolled in the 2012 election.

I've been wondering the same thing for some months now, because it seems incomprehensible to me that any administration could be this stupid. But then I contemplate Congress, and realize that is entirely possible.

Even if the Clintonistas are throwing monkey wrenches into the administration, I'm not worried. Hillary hasn't got a chance in 2012, even if she won the primary challenge.

If true, they're trying to save the "Democrat" brand. A little too late as far as I'm concern. The Hillary faction can try, they're getting their collective asses handed to them by the Chicago Machine. Consider how many times they made her look the fool, I know, it ain't hard to do.

The rats are leaving the sinking ship.

When the mole is exposed will he/she be called a RACIST...?

It's not a mole in covert sabatoge mode. When you accept the notion that their only agenda is to stay in power, then these sorts of rudderless, reflexive decisions seem coherent. Without any managment experience to guide him, Obama is faking it one day at a time.

Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence.
