Update: A consensus is brewing about Obama’s pending troubles – see here, here, here and here. Major Update Below! The big dominos seem to be falling already, less than a week from the news breaking. I simply cannot fathom the damage Barack Obama and<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The “consensus”, if you go to the website,\u00c2\u00a0is the consensus\u00c2\u00a0that comes from an\u00c2\u00a0assortment of conservative blogs.\u00c2\u00a0 This\u00c2\u00a0is the type of thing which will animate the thoughts of\u00c2\u00a0conservative and Republican activists for the rest of Obama’s tenure as president, and be ignored by the rest of Americans.\u00c2\u00a0 That the rest of Americans won’t be able to recite the Great Obama Deception in relation to Mr. Blag will be a testament of the complicity of the Liberal Media and the Dumbing Down of America.\u00c2\u00a0 The good news is that eventually Obama will be more firmly implicated in a scandal, and that will have to be what taints America’s view on the man.<\/p>\n
Mostly this is just an example — and I see it everywhere — of attempting to force a reality, particularly of popular opinion,\u00c2\u00a0that suits one’s political predilictions into being.<\/p>\n
