Orzag has shown moments of rationality- but I don’t think agreement or disagreement on policy is what drove the writer of this piece- whether it be a real or phantom “insider”.
What strikes me is the writer’s concern for BO’s mental state.
We’ve had president’s come unhinged before- most recently I think of Nixon...but the nation literally hangs in the balance now.
“What strikes me is the writers concern for BOs mental state.”
That certainly is the main focus all throughout part 1 and 2 for sure. The bit in part 2 about blaming the left for taking their party off of the cliff was equally intriquing. It suggests that this person is not a certified marxist ideologue or Ayers type revolutionary. He/She is more pragmatic and strategizing about implementing ‘progressive’ change...like Clinton was. With this in mind, it very well could be Orzag or someone on Rahm’s staff.
