The Obama Bubble Could Cost the Democrats
The Obama campaign, with its many incestuous links to “small ‘c’ communists” and Islamic fascists, could end up discrediting the entire Democratic Party — if Americans realize they’ve been Suckered Big by the slickest demagogue since Bill Clinton. When ordinary people find out how extreme the America-hating inner circle of Democrats really are, many of the rank and file might just walk out in disgust. They certainly should. We’ll soon see in states like Pennsylvania.
The Obama Bubble is entirely based on telephone polls to voters who’ve been told they are racist monsters if they don’t vote for O. Under those circumstances people just don’t talk freely. That’s what intimidation did in the old Soviet Union, where it was impossible to find out the truth about the coming wheat crop because everybody lied. Polls mean nothing in this climate of media intimidation.
But regardless of who is elected on Tuesday, this election represents an amazing gamble for the Dems. Look at this video, showing Barack Obama slyly giving the hidden finger to Hillary Clinton during one of the primary debates. His own people burst out laughing when he pulls that very risky piece of teenage bravado. That’s what he means by audacity — and now the entire Democratic Party is stuck with Barack on his death-defying ride to become Emperor Barack I. Even the Clinton scandals didn’t expose the Democrats to this kind of risk. They will have to live with the consequences for years to come.
The Obama Bubble may be hard to recognize today, when it has been blown up to awesome size, just like the mortgage bubble, the oil price bubble, the dot com bubble, and endless others.
But it’s happened before: In 1948 Henry Wallace ran for the Democratic nomination. Harry Truman beat him, in good part because Wallace looked like a puppet of Joe Stalin. Truman went on to reelection and became the first Cold War president.
The Obama campaign is the closest thing to Henry Wallace since 1948.
