Obama Primary Challenge? Nearly Half Of Dems Want 2010 Fight

I think you're exactly right. I'm not sure, however, that he thinks most people are unintelligent and will swallow whatever is force-fed them. I think he and his handlers hope that he's smooth enough (and with enough support & backup from other key players, specifically the media) to carry it off. He doesn't need to convince everyone; just enough for critical mass to be reached. You see how that plays out around here, when his fans overwhelm & drown out dissenters, and their lies become part of the cloth of the collective's consciousness.



How the media aids him is, IMHO, the saddest tragedy of the failure of the US.



I heard Lawrence O'Donnell on Bill Maher last night lie through his teeth for Obama. He said that everything that Obama's done he campaigned on. Not true at all. One thing Obama didn't campaign on: A mandate. That was what Hillary Clinton campaigned on. Obama took a lot of heat from Elizabeth Edwards during the campaign, for mandates not being part of his plan for healthcare reform. If Obama could change his mind about mandates after getting into the WhiteHouse, why didn't he also change his mind about SinglePayer, or a PublicOption?



Obama came into office with a plan for shepherding through a massive corporate welfare scheme that has no relationship to healthcare reform. It's Bush's MedicareReformAct of 2003, Part 2. And the media lets these pro-corporate Democrats spin this legislation (& more) as something it's not.
