The White House seems to be emitting varous timid signals about moving to the center of the political spectrum. Or its idea of center, which is probably further left than any sane person could imagine.
Robert Gibbs, White House press secretary (and I give his title because I'm not sure I've got his name right; I may be confusing him with the BeeGees) a few weeks ago remarked that the dems were going to lose their majority in the House in the November election. Now he's criticizing "professional leftists" for not being happy with all the socialist goodies the Comrade has already delivered. Believe Gibbs said something like the left wouldn't be happy until the USA had Canada-style single-payer health care and the Pentagon was disbanded. Or something like that.
With the comment about losing the House majority, Pazzo Pelosi pitched a hissy fit. Now apparently the "professional left" is all raddled and offended. So? The professional left is a very small minority. They should get used to being marginalized. They're actually idiots with nothing useful to contribute.
However, I don't think Robert Gibbs is just spouting off impulsively. That's not how you get to be press secretary at the White House. No, I think he and the professional leftist-in-chief, the Comrade, are doing what they can to make the Comrade look like a rational person. That is, look like he's leaning toward the center (not that the center is all that rational, being a mixed bag of wishful thinking and CBO projections.)
Anyway, I don't believe the White House is dumping the professional left. If the Comrade can lie to the right, he can lie to the left.
Don't remember which movie it was, but do recall Cary Grant in some role relating the story of the Blackfeet and the Whitefeet Indians. The Blackfeet were notorious liars. The Whitefeet always told the truth. And, sadly, they didn't actually have black and white feet. They were indistinguishable from each other physically.
So the question was, if you asked an Indian if he was a Blackfoot or a Whitefoot, what kind of an answer could you believe? A Blackfoot would lie. A Whitefoot wouldn't, but you couldn't tell the individual members of the tribes apart from each other. So do you believe it when the Indian says, "I'm a Whitefoot"? I mean, how can you? It's a total gamble, 50-50 odds.
Or as D.A. McCoy says so succinctly in the oft-aired ad for reruns of "Law and Order": Were you lying then or are you lying now?
My idea is the Comrade and Robert Gibbs, Pelosi, Reid, and the whole congressional rat pack -- all the merry marxists -- lie all the time, like the Blackfeet. I doubt they even remember what "truth" is as a stand-alone concept. They just say whatever is most convenient at any given moment and seems to place them in the best light. Their central "truth" is keeping themselves employed at the public expense. Everything else is second to that and insignificant enough to lie about.
In short, they have no honor or integrity. And they surely don't have a handle on how the USA is supposed to operate.
You can't believe anything they say. So watch what they do. Remember how they voted on socialized medicine. There's a nice indicator. It's telling that they tried to pass all their socialist crap by "deeming" so that their votes won't have to be recorded. Such courage of their convictions, huh? Like, what courage? What convictions?
Meanwhile, Michelle Obama "showed her ass," as a friend of mine would say. Visiting castles in Spain -- and apparently renting one for her friends -- as the USA begins yet another descent into economic disaster. She and the Comrade were made for each other. Spain might be a good place for them. They'd love the green-economy-induced double-digit unemployment. Perhaps Michelle was studying its social impact in her spare moments and decided she could just ignore it and ordered another Sangria.
That's it for now. Working on my novel, which I hope to publish in time for this year's election campaign.
Save the republic. At least vote the bastards out.
