As it is, if BHO gets into the White House on the rent-a-rock-star wave, with its cloud of spangles and jangling electric guitars, he’d be even more dependent on his backers to stay there. Stay on the wave and he just might wash up on the White House lawn. Used up but there. But he if wants greatness, which lies further than the White House, he needs to get off the wave.

Wretchard’s comment here is the real dilemma for Obama. To put this into a reality of the campaign, we need to know what Michelle Obama’s thinks about this formulation. Some may also feel that BHO himself is a captive of his own arrogance and nothing that ANYONE thinks is quite as important as his own thoughts on this.
