The sudden, albeit measured, emergence of Democrat candidate Obama is no fluke. His positions, scripts, gestures of appeasement and entire campaign is a political amalgamation, engineered and created by the most likely of sources. Watch carefully here, for the masterful slight-of-hand.
Assume you were the collective strategists of the dominant political party aligning
yourself to maintain control of not just the WhiteHouse but also the country and international policy. Unfortunately, the agreed national agenda as defined by your party is not proceeding as planned. An ongoing and escalating war, homegrown economic calamity, collapsed foreign policy, and an unprecedented lack of confidence in our government conspire to shift the leanings of the electorate away from your favor.
What to do? What to do? ....You manufacture a candidate. Not just any candidate, mind you, but someone without a defining history, someone so junior in his career that the person himself is a direct result of central casting's request for an untarnished, unassailable character, so remarkably generic and pre-packaged that he appeals to the widest and basest demographic; someone not-too-black, but, God Forbid.... surely not-too-white.
Barrack Obama is an engineered candidate, created by the Republican Party to counter the political juggernaut that is the Clinton-Senator from New York. Obama's positions and poll rankings are carefully controlled to represent an "underdog" in a contest run and managed by political "machines" and insiders like Clinton.
The Obama Leftist leanings are timed and scheduled to coincide with the early stages of the campaign. Recognizing full-well the microscopic and reptilian short-term memory of the average democrat voter, watch for the Obama positions to emerge as "refreshingly" centrist, as the campaign progresses. Naive voters of every variety and persuasion...(not just caucasian) will openly and publicly glad-hand each other for their forward-thinking, "progressive" outlook. Watch as the term "progressive" becomes from all angles the operable theme of this campaign.
If your chances to claim victory in a fray already fraught with political "land-mines" looks in doubt, find your way into an arena where you can win. Karl Rove left the Bush WhiteHouse to quietly accomplish the impossible for his side, maintain control via the only sure routing.
Is it any surprise Obama warrants Secret Service protection? I don't think he arranged that for himself.
The political party itself is only an ingredient of the winning formula to the politically uninformed outsider. The agenda and resultant ideology will sustain itself and thrive in whatever incarnation necessary. These leopards don't ever change their spots. DR
