And Obama's *doing* what they want - DISemployment, police state, protecting moneyed interests, and now, even if there *is* no Social Security reform this term, he's opened the door - from the "Left" - for his second term. He'll be rewarded with enough Corporate funding for a comfortable reelection.<br /><br />As for his gameplaying, it's a sign of my bigotry towards pigs, crackers, and christers to think his simplest, most efficient and best strategy was/is to goad pigs, crackers, and christers into extreme pigosity, crackerosity and christerosity. Getting them to reject what the claim they want - killing Social Security - is a great way to do it, with the additional bonus the Obama's opened the door for future killing of social security.BDRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06557941385560728052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-26115088387911106562011-07-08T13:39:19.788-04:002011-07-08T13:39:19.788-04:00Thanks for the mention.

I'm not suggesting you read AdF; Canetti is difficult slogging muchly b/c he's so damn unsympathetic to his characters. It's an important book to know about.
