OBAMA

I Predict will Lose the White House for Democrats-

... not to Palin as much as that thought has her chilling down her tundra. Some other moderate,
well spoken, well educated, highly dignified personality will surface. All of a sudden people previously overlooked will rise and be funded furiously- and it will take the White House by storm.

OBAMA cannot afford to rebuke his base- People who saw a Democratic Congresswoman and a Federal Judge gunned down after reckless irresponsible reprehensible outrageous political rhetorical bullying by people vowing to bring down Democrats had every right to tell people to tone down the rhetoric. People on both sides of the aisle did- People on both sides of the aisle with any gray matter between their ears did acknowledge that it was out of control and at a level of incivility that is appalling. Religious leaders have been saying it for years.

Obama's call for civility was a back handed rebuke in his effort to look more gracious than the more left of his party. His attempt to play to the middle will earn him the disaffection of the people motivated to get him there. He now looks too wimpy. Full of Pomp and Flatulence.
His base is the motivating force that moves campaigns and builds elections and walks door to door in rain, sleet and snow to hang doortag fliers and make phone calls at the DNC. His attempting to say -let's all play nice and go home is a bit of a mockery to people who elect Democratic Congresspeople- for a reason. And those people know that Sarah Barracuda and her ilk are going to try to make life living Hell for the base Obama rebukes.

Leadership, Mr. President. We need something stronger from you. Really Soon.
Recall what happened to Jimmy Carter.
