I was thinking about what Obama said on Face The Nation today that "he didn't expect immunity from Republican attacks, but could diffuse them with his message of unity and capacity to surmount party divides," and wondering if he is really that clueless about how the Republican Noise Machine really works?
"I think that creates a different climate," Obama said, like warm and sunny optimism will diffuse the onslaught. I just got to say though, does he actually think that they will care about his "message of unity"? Good gracious. Someone needs to throw this man a lifeline before he sinks us all.
Obama's bright and woefully misplaced optimism came coupled with his usual doublespeak about how "Republicans consider her a polarizing figure." And I am just curious why no one ever says: you know Mr. Obama, when you say that you are creating polar-ism within your own party.
