Not that he means to, but one wonders just how his Bozo consultants managed to get him elected. Here we have an election where, according to many surveys, the electorate is worried about the nation moving too far to the left. They don’t like Republicans as much as they want to blunt the leftward push.
So what does the President do? He runs around the country telling the people that the Republican want to “rein him in.” Is he daft?
For my part, I’ve never really seen Obama, or his team, as a cadre of geniuses. They seemed more like a bunch of political hacks who got lucky with the right candidate with the right opponent(s) (Bush legacy and McCain).
I never thought I’d see the day when they would make the unforced error of driving independent voters to the GOP. Maybe he IS the Manchurian Candidate…for the GOP.
