But if he is to be a uniter, I expect - no, I DEMAND - an equal number of associations of his on the right. And he appears to have ZERO such associations.

It’s the imbalance that utterly destroys his credibility as a uniter, as someone who can cross the lines and get opponents to agree or compromise.

He has ZERO credibility with me, because all of his associates and friends exist within a narrow ideological echo chamber. Any reasonable skeptic would utterly reject his claims, based on that, to be able to unite this country.

Unless we all simply fall under his hypnotic spell as he soothes and sways us into the dream - HIS dream, his far-left ideological inevitable result - he can have zero effect.

Welcome, everyone, to this decade’s Jimmy Carter. Horribly ineffectual, monstrous on foreign policy. But since the Republicans have had their huge, snuffling pig snouts at the candy trough for a decade, descending deeply into corruption, pocketlining, and wild deficit spending on the backs of your children and grandchildren, there may be no way to stop Obama from repeating every single one of Carter’s horrifying mistakes.

the woman - who would be First Lady - who said that America is just mean and that, regardless of the charmed life she has lead, she is just now recognizing pride in America.

One more for the list: Obama’s role as sock puppet for the corrupt Chicago/Illinois political Combine - the people who first put him up to this and who itch to access the national public trough.

Without the Combine, he would always have long been exposed as a zero. For them, he makes the perfect sock puppet. Perhaps it is upon the details of these corrupt ties that Hillary sits, ready for disclosure at the right time before the convention.

Aristocrats always obtain pride in having their underlings perform to spec. When those underlings misbehave and talk back, however, then it’s time for the beatings to occur.
