Obama’s Winning Strategy for Defeating Perry

Berry adds:

It is not enough that it was under his administration that Osama Bin Laden, King of the Republican boogeymen, was killed.

It is not enough that he appointed Alan Simpson, that old rude Republican Social Security hater, as co-chairman of his deficit commission.

It is not enough that he pushed New York to settle cheap with the banks.

Obama will have to go the full circle and join the Republican Party if he is going to be fully accepted. Nothing less will satisfy them. The other day I heard someone say that if Obama walked on water that the Republicans would say that he only did that because he could not swim.

I believe that about covers it.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.

Random term

n. Showing appropriate deference to authoritarians. Example: CBS brought a new level of civility to American political discourse by cancelling a mini-series on Reagan that wingers deemed insufficiently hagiographical.
