IIRC, one hallmark of Hitler’s organization is that his minions were required to swear fealty to him personally, not the nation, not the party, but to him alone. This sounds very much like it. I don’t know how the Dems can stand against this with the group’s $75 million annual budget. They will have to swear the same fealty to Obama and Company or be left standing outside the door come the next election.
You make some excellent points. People on FR are hoping that Obama and the Dems, particularly the Senate Dems, will have so much sparring going on between them that nothing gets done. But what they don't realize is that the Dems, including the Senate Dems, are no match for the man they helped put into power.
Obama is extremely ruthless and he is driven by one thing: a will to power. He's a sociopath, and to some extent, will let the actual policies be determined by the radicals who used him to take over the government of the US. But the thing that is really important to him is that he be the one in charge, and that's why we have this insane pressure for personal loyalty. Not to a party, not even to an ideology, but to "The One."
He's not even in office yet, and the Senate Dems have lost every argument they have had with him in this short time (over things like Burris, etc.). I think even some of them are becoming afraid that they have created a monster.
The congressional Rats are intimidated that, if they oppose the Obammunist, he will use his JungenObamaSoldaten to run opposition candidates against them in the primaries.
Hussein is already organized nationwide for the next House elections.
His continued campaign mode, and there will be many, many "propaganda" faux press conferrences, is for the out year congressional elections.
