Better trained profilers than us are watching The Lord Protector for clues of all sorts, but the recent Wanda Sykes comments at the White House Correspondents' Dinner about wishing Rush Limbaugh dead (she really is pretty stupid, in a fact-gathering sort of a way, wouldn't you say?) tell us two things about OB-1:
First, he is most comfortable when among his own, laid back and self-contented, sort of like a Moose Lodge President for Life. Of course, all of us are in some degree or another, but we get the sense he is really uncomfortable when not.
Second, and this is revealing, Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck really get under his skin. Big time. He really does want to see bad things happen to them, hence the agreeable laugh at Syke's swipe.
We look at this strategically, recalling the early 30's when the common refrain was "We hate the Nazis but don't want to say anything bad about Hitler. He's very popular," we think it best that the real Obama be exposed as early as possible. There is a lot of bad vibes hidden behind that smirking grin.
Limbaugh and Beck (and others) are of course private sector, and hurling insults (as the Left sees them) is their business line. They have institutionalized insulting the Left, but, in a way that is outside the realm of officialdom. When Limbaugh calls Obama a liar he only pricks the skin, and really can stab no deeper, which, as I mentioned, is very revealing about Obama's pain threshold.
But if "official" Washington (the GOP), or the states, (Mr Chumm mentioned Gov Schwarzenegger yesterday), or even official "Business" were to come out as hard on Obama as Limbaugh has been...especially in a mocking or defiant tone, we think Obama becomes unraveled. Those arrows go much deeper. We already knows he's a bit of whiner, and relies on thuggery (by others) to get a lot of things done. (Does anyone recall the sniveling Prince John when Richard was still king?) He seems to be the kind of fellow you don't turn your back on. (No wonder M'Cain respects him.)
It would be helpful the more we know of these things now, versus later.
