WRONG

Bammie you will have to get along with the Republicans. But then this is nothing new, you get just about everything wrong.

Nope. I think I can divine his strategery, such as it is. He intends to provoke repeated 1995-style government shutdown confrontations with the Republicans and rely on the MSM to dutifully manipulate public opinion against them and demonize and whip the Republican leadership into submission just like under Clinton. He also expects the surviving dems to loyally play the game of mindless obstructionism that the dems did during the Bush years.

Of course there are a few holes in this strategy, among them the fact that Bill Clinton was likeable and indelibly associated with good times in the public mind. During the Bush years, especially after Iraq started to go South, the dems were confident that anything bad that happened to America would automatically be good for them. Furthermore, Obama assumes that the media will faithfully do his bidding no matter how reviled he becomes.

Lastly, Obama ALSO assumes that the dems on Capitol Hill will remain loyal and obedient to his every whim no matter what that has cost them.

To put it mildly, I don’t think so.

If the dems do decide to turn on him, I’m pretty sure it won’t be necessary to dig up the necessary evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors. Probably if the House demands a thorough investigation of his birth certificate (plucking the issue from the much-derided crackpots) and other matters from his past it will turn up all sorts of goodies that will have him scurrying to resign rather than cough up the facts.
