Former Campaign Aide Criticizes Obama on Organizing

That's right.



The 13 million were a short-term­, expendable means to an end. That was Phase 1. Now we're into Phase 2 where Obama showed us his true colors and the 13 million are an |_|ppity nuisance that has to be muzzled.



Phase 3 is 2012 where they think they can relax and ride the "we're a terrible choice, but we're not as terrible as your other choice..." into a second term. Time will tell if that turns out the way they planned.



But it's pretty clear that the former campaign aide's criticism is way off the mark. The Administra­tion suffers the same soaring arrogance as others, and Graham-Fel­son erroneousl­y believes that Obama feels the 13 million can help him. To some degree, the President is right. He knows that letters and phone calls to Congresspe­ople don't accomplish anything.



And if he mobilizes Dems, then he risks losing his precious "bipartisa­n" label!



There are clearly a large number of empty vessels out there, but the numbers of those who now have policy sobriety due to concerns over children's futures, retirement viability, or acute suffering is growing. As a former contributo­r to the Obama campaign, I'm sure I'm on the list. If he comes calling for support, no one will be home. I don't think that concerns him at all. He has no need for me right now. The 13 million are to be quiet, sit in a corner, and wait for orders in 2012.
