The Nuclear Option: Destroying Both Camps

Gibbs is in a difficult position. And what’s worse, he knows it. He knows the administration, as a political entity, is becoming unraveled. Not he (Gibbs), nor the president can stop the unraveling. It has become a lost cause to attempt to maintain the trappings of a democracy.

The people have discovered that ‘progressivism’ is just another word for what used to be called ‘communism’ and they want no part of it. Re-defining terms has been a hallmark of this administration and of the movement it represents. It has become all too clear that the ‘Big Lie’ is being exposed. Gibbs trips. He intends to hide the ‘Big Lie’ behind an even bigger one - and nobody’s buying.

The president has managed to destroy both camps. Progressives are so eager to come out of the closet, they’ve all but punched through the doors. Conservatives, arrogant as always, can finally see - beyond their own noses - what’s lurking inside.

This is not good news for a president who needs the support of at least one political faction. Fortunately, when they made Obama, they broke the mold. He is totally disinterested in politics as usual. In fact, he distains it. What is still unclear is whether he personally means to cling to power in perpetuity, or whether he is prepared to subordinate his own ego to the Cause. If the latter, he will hand off to Hillary Clinton; if the former, he will declare himself dictator for life.
