Or maybe you enjoy screwing with the White House?
Oh sure, there’s that. Yeah…guilty as charged. But it’s also much more than that.
I really believe the party needs to purge itself of this administration. And I think we will.
November is a start in that direction. New leadership will emerge. The White House will be marginalized – perhaps so much so that there will be a Democrat challenger to Obama in 2012.
Purge the party of this administration?
You really feel the Obama White House is that bad?
You remember that question – and then you can come back and ask me again later next year when this scandal finally comes to the surface.
The scandal in Chicago?
Chicago is the primary component – but it will likely start in D.C. – one thing will lead to the other. The Justice Department, and back to Chicago.
And what if this never happens? What if there is no scandal? What if Obama is simply re-elected in 2012 and serves a full and successful second term?
I suppose that is a possibility – but not a probable one. They are scrambling to make that happen, but after November, the White House loses its protection. I told you that – you understand that, right?
You are talking about Congress?
Yes-yes…without Congress, without the Congressional leadership to quash potential hearings, the White House is far more vulnerable. Remember Lewinski? If the Democrats had not lost Congress in 1994, there would have been no scandal – at least not to the extent that it became. But Democrats didn’t control Congress, and so the scandal was allowed – encouraged by those -expletive- Republicans to move ahead.
Same thing with Watergate. Democrats in Congress allowed the scandal to grow and move ahead. That’s how it works. And now we have a Democrat President, realizing he is looking at a Republican Congress, and he is facing a real -expletive- storm.
You used Watergate as an example. Do you really think Obama could be facing a Watergate type scandal? I mean, something that big?
Yes I do. I hope not. That is what is going on right now – I’m trying to explain that part of it to you but maybe I’m not doing a good enough job of it.
There are those in the party – the Democratic Party, who are right now actively preparing for that possible outcome and taking protective measures to protect the party. Let Obama go down for it – but save the party.
President Obama in turn – at least those around him who are capable enough still to function in that way, are trying to keep the party entangled in the mess, to motivate them to continue protecting the White House.
THAT is what is going on right now. And the stakes are very high – the repercussions very serious. That is why I keep telling you to fully appreciate the dangers here.
This stuff is no joke. That is why I came to you. If this goes bad, and it could just like that, I can pull the plug. And make no mistake – I will.
I get that – but I’m still having a hard time believing a scandal so big is not being reported by the media.
You’re wrong there. It is being reported – bits and pieces of it. The story will already be out there and growing before the mainstream finally runs with it. Don’t forget, most of them still want to protect the White House. That is simply fact.
I know this – I worked directly with them during the campaign. But it’s starting to change – and eventually it will break.
The barbarians haven’t broken down the gate yet – but after these midterms, they will. Look at the Democrats who are now openly challenging the president. Every day another one rebukes the president.
That is an incredibly dangerous thing to do politically – it can destroy a career. Ask yourself why they would be so willing to do that. Are they just stupid, too bold – or is it something else?
I don’t know… (shakes head)
The word is out there – President Obama is in real trouble. They may not have the specifics, but the story of a big scandal coming is circulating now within the party – both parties.
So why put your own political career on the line supporting a president who is facing such a fiasco?
Simple – they won’t. And so you are seeing the separation happening. The party itself is starting to separate itself from the president.
You ever watch those nature programs where the herd doesn’t hang out with the sick one? You got that poor sick antelope or whatever standing all by itself and when it tries to join back with the herd they run away from it? They’ll even attack it themselves if they have to. That’s what happens in politics.
If you are in real trouble, the others separate from you. That is what is happening to the president right now.
(Long pause)

And the lions are starting to gather…
