A few days ago I was almost certain that Obama would visit Rush at the hospital. I guess I underestimated how terrible at politics Obama is.
I am beginning to suspect that Obama's mugging by reality in the last few weeks (Christmas terrorist attack, etc) is going to devolve into something more akin to a head-on-collision with the freight train of reality.
Your theory would have been good if this were traditional American politics. But zer0 has no intention of bridging any gaps or uniting people. His marxist agenda requires only that the US fails and conservatives (anybody to the political right of The One himself) be squashed and silenced.
