Private armies
Okay, we have Acorn on one side and the Tea Party on the other. We have Truthers on one side and Birthers on the other. For the first time since 1968, both left and right have their own private semi-organized rowdies. (The Left always has its private armies, ranging from Acorn to the Black Panthers, but the Right only occasionally and temporarily mobilizes.)
Could get interesting, especially since the President directly commands the rowdies of the Left.
But what's the goal of both sides? Cui bono? Who gains from Obama's power, and who would have gained from McCain?
The Wall Street Mafia gains from both sides. That's who.
What we have here is a phony war, both sides passionately fighting for Goldman Sachs.
