Jason Rosenbaum writes: "Once Obama is elected, it's war. November is just the beginning." Rosenbaum will "work to rid Congress of conservative, Blue and Bush Dog Democrats, and build up long-term progressive infrastructure." (Are you self-professed conservative Democrats paying attention?)
What this all means, at the very least, is that voters need to keep their eye on the big ball here -- and the big ball is not Obama's political cynicism, which far too many will dismiss as acceptable Nixonian politics, engaged in by every politician. The big ball is Obama's real leftism -- and its potentially devastating consequences for the country.
Among those potential consequences, according to Rosenbaum and Grossman, are, "President Obama will start sending non-apocalyptic judicial nominees to Senate confirmation," like Justice Ginsburg, no doubt, and "the Department of Justice will once again be populated by folks who have read the Constitution," meaning those leftist lawyer types more concerned with al-Qaida's "constitutional rights" than yours or mine.
Further, "Democrats will be more likely to pass progressive legislation : ending the war," meaning surrender; providing "health care for all Americans," meaning poorer quality health care and long waiting lines for all but the very rich; causing "a renewed investment in our economy," meaning at some point, only about the top 40 percent of income earners will pay income tax at all; and bringing about "a renewed investment in green energy," meaning, to them, a radical assault on our economy in the name of the global warming hoax -- in deference to the pantheistic devaluation of the dignity of human beings that drives it.
Time will tell if Obama is as leftist as his voting record and past associations would indicate, but many of those most passionate about him seem rather sanguine about it.
So let's not just focus on Obama's increasingly evident character flaws, but the catastrophic restructuring he likely has in store for this nation and its institutions.
