Perhaps now someone in Hollywood will get motivated to make an appropriate documentary of the "rise of Obama".
Suggested working title: "Triumph of the Shills"
It wouldn't be the first time; 1840 was the year of Ballyhoo ("Tippecanoe and Tyler Too"). No platform whatever. Just lots of parades and torchlit speeches about not-much, and chants of "Van, Van is a used-up man."
Obama political advisor, former Sen. Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD) admitted it to PBS Frontline's cameras -- he and Obama made medicine over the 2008 campaign, and what he counseled Obama to do was lie low and never offer any specifics. He was to remain invisible, except for the phony image the shills would push on the public. The campaign was a fraud, a mass deception. And for good reason -- the people rejected a candidate very much like Obama in 1972 by a crushing margin, and another in 2004.
