Get Used to It!

David Petraeus certainly is an attractive choice. Whether or not he could achieve anything significant from outside the political power structure remains to be seen. I can't see him running as a Democrat. As a Republican, he is certain to be crucified; remember, (betray us)?

Like it or not, the press continues to hold the key (as it did in the last election). The American people have not distinguished themselves in the art of critical thinking. Yes, Obama will make them hurt, but they will eat whatever is put in front of them. The question remains: Will the press turn on Obama?

Don't count Obama out either. He is taking steps on his own right now, as we speak, to secure a second term (and possibly even a third and beyond), tightening his grip on power. I have no doubt that any, and all things possible - even the race card - will be used aggressively in pursuit of Obama's ambition. The party will remain solidly behind him no matter how badly his policies fare, or how outrageous his methods.

The public is no longer in the running. I've said it before: When a government takes charge of everything, there’s no longer any standard by which to judge success or failure. No matter what happens, it will be chalked up as the dear leader's blessing.

Our comic book hero/demagogue will be difficult to unseat. This will become apparent in the next election cycle. I am certain that Obama has no intentions of moving even an ounce of furniture during his lifetime. In his view, the Constitution is a living, breathing putty animation that can be re-drawn to suit. With Congress and, most importantly, the courts and the media in his back pocket, he cannot fail.

The Obama nation is here to stay. Get used to it!
