Here’s what I don’t understand: Chicago politics is a whorehouse. Everyone knows that. So why are so many infected with the notion that Obama is the only virgin in the whorehouse?

You don’t advance in Chicago by “transcending the old politics” or bringing “change”. You advance by putting party above everything, by toadying up to the powers that be in the machine, and by pulling every underhanded political dirty trick known to man. THAT is Obama’s background.

So I’d really like alchemist or someone else from the left to explain why they willingly deny that reality and adopt this zombie-like infatuation with the idea that Obama is some sort of post-partisan, reformist, lightworker.

Not that I expect a response. Questions like that tend to make them hide in the tall grass.

He has others do the arm twisting, the bullying, while he smiles affably and puts on the Mister Post-Racial, Reach Across the Aisle act. And nobody notes that he has invariably reached for the race card first in every difficulty, has never reached across the aisle, and in fact has never gone head to head against the entrenched party interests. He’s a weakling and has never demonstrated moral courage or strength of character.

Fortunately for us, the current Prime Enemies of the Republic, the odious would be fascists Reid and Pelosi are as stupid as they are maladroit, and they will not find themsleves in the driver’s seat despite their grandiose dreams.

Unfortunately for us, we don’t know who really will be calling the shots. Who in Obama’s past (and he has been so cunning in presenting only the carefully crafted personal history he wants us to see, aided and abetted by a media which has betrayed the principles of democracy, that we may have no clue who it could be) has the kind of leverage to make Obama dance to his tune?

It’s going to be an interesting four to eight years.

Why do I feel the Republicans should be studying this closely…
