And not one Democrat congressperson or senator will speak out or vote against ANYTHING he does or says -- NOT ONE! Sometimes I think the government has been taken over by outside hostile forces and the people in congress and the media are powerless to do anything about it. It's all just surreal. Doesn't feel like America any more.
No, sadly it does not.
One of the advantages of integrating the Democrat political operation into the White House is an ability to control not only the message, but to keep the messengers all reading from the same playbook - sometimes using implicit threats in the process. ("Want money for your re-election campaign? Then shut up and say what we tell you to.")
Also, because the mainstream news media is about 95% Democrat, they are given whatever access they desire (viz.- Good Morning America's near-weekly "exclusive" interviews with Obama about the new color of the Oval Office wallpaper or whatever). In that way, David Plouffe and Valerie Jarrett keep everyone and everything on message, without filters, and also provide the means for coordinated attacks on those who refuse to play along (FOX News).
No, it doesn't feel like America at all. It feels more like Venezuela. Only without the oil.
