Why, in Spite of Everything, I Still Love Obama

Within 1 month of getting into the WhiteHouse­, with a Republican Party not "on the ropes" but "on the mat", gasping its last breaths, Obama and Rahm Emanuel didn't go after the Republican leadership in Congress, or even the Bush-Chene­y administra­tion for their many crimes. 

No, Obama and Emanuel blocked all investigat­ions into what actual Republican­s did to the US (Bush-Chen­ey-Republi­cans in Congress), and instead chose to elevate the teabaggers by going after SarahPalin and RushLimbau­gh, two people with absolutely no job, no position in the GOP. 

Obama & RahmEmanue­l have never gone after the Republican leadership directly. Not MitchMcCon­nell, not JohnBoehne­r, not EricCantor­, not JohnMcCain (the titular head of the Party, as the last presidenti­al nominee).

Why?

Because Sarah Palin (and anyone else 'Tea Partyish') is who the Obama & the DLC-contro­lled Democratic­Party wants to run against. Both in 2010, but especially in 2012.

Obama wants to drive a wedge between the base of the Republican­Party that controls the Republican­Party (far rightwing extremists­) and the rest of the Republican­Party (plain old rightwing conservati­ves and moderate Republican­s) for the purpose of trying to attract the latter (Republica­n politician­s & their supporters­) into the Democratic Party. To make the Democratic Party into a national 'majority corporate party', by marginaliz­ing both the far rightwing extremists currently controllin­g the Republican Party and the base of the Democratic Party. In order "to govern for 100 years".

Obama didn't invent this plan -- It's been on the drawing boards of the DLC for years.
