re: #83 John Neverbend

You had me confused.. I honestly don’t think it will go like that despite what Obama is saying and not saying. His whole Saul Alinsky/Chicago political upbringing is NOT about ‘engaging’ your opponents. It has been, to the dismay of Republicans, about defeating them.
Metaphorically speaking, I think, I HOPE he’s waving carrots at the regime while Frank Nitti’s sneaking up behind them with a Thompson.
