NahnCee asked:

“How do you suppose the Left will react if they find out their Messiah has been paid for by Saudi oil money?”

I agree with Eggplant’s response to this. And I would add another few points. The hardcore Left with be very happy to hear this, because it will validate what they already suspect — that BHO is no friend of “evil Israel,” and that he will watch and do nothing if it goes down in flames.

The softer Left (softer headed) will think its all lovely and multi-culti. To them it will be evidence that Obama will bring peace and flowers to the Middle East. Because after all, the whole problem there is that we just refuse to understand and to LISTEN.

I dunno know, I think it’s pretty easy to understand the “we want you dead” message that emanates from that benighted armpit of the world, but for some reason Lefties think it’s no more than a heated discussion in a coffee bar. Even 9/11 didn’t shock them out of this demented disconnect from reality for more than a few months.

Muggeridge was so right about the Left. “All resolved, in other words, to abolish themselves and their world, the rest of us with it… It has all just been sleep-walking to the end of the night.”

Or to see the whole thing from another angle, as Shakespeare had it:

I understand a fury in your words
But not the words.

I think that’s how Leftists really view Obama. Beneath all the hopey-changey baloney, what it’s really about is taking revenge on the Republicans they have been taught to hate for eight years. They haven’t the slighest idea what BHO’s policies mean, what they will engender, but oh boy it’s going to FEEL SO GOOD to beat the bastards, and then we can all party like it’s 1917.
