“Go tea baggers! While you are dithering Obama is governing”

Is that what the socialists call it? It looks more like he is campaigning to me. There is a difference, you know.
Maybe Axelrod hasn’t figured out they won, the campaign is over.
Maybe he has and just wants to keep his alleged Hawaiian sock puppet away from the controls? Regardless, the Usurper now owns the economic crisis and all that falls from it. He will own the litle wars that his reduction of American military power will create. He will own the terrorist attacks that his relaxation of the counter-terrorism effort will produce.
He will get to explain his ownership in 2010, when the 20 or 30 million conservatives that stayed home in ’08 because they didn’t have the stomach to vote for Big Mac show up and vote.
Axelrod’s policies will kill a lot of Americans, but they will be mostly Blue Staters. After all, when the Mad Dog Mullahs give a terrorist group a nuke to play with, it will be set off in a bi-coastal city, not in fly over America. Sort of a win-win for us Red Staters.
