Some commentators are wondering if Obama wants to get re-elected. Other commentators note that the polls show a stunning lack of support for the administration’s policies, but no mid-course correction in sight. Others say that Obama is as bad a politician as he is a chief executive. The Washington Post says that 2010 could be a worse massacre than 1994. Yet the President seems unperturbed. How does this picture make sense?

One possibility is that it doesn’t make sense, and that we are witnessing a series of spectacular blunders on the part of the administration and the Democrat Party. But there’s another possibility as well. If the administration’s roots come from the far left and if there is an iron will to advance that agenda after November, having an obstructionist Congress is far from the worst thing that could happen to the Obama administration.

If we were the President and a committed radical, and if we also knew that the media would give us cover by calling our opponents every name in the book (as they have recently), we’d chart a bold course. We’d create millions of new instant citizens to support our plans. It would be an incredibly risky stroke, but the dividends would be fantastic if we got away with it.

(Final point: scenarios like this are the stuff of fiction of course. Hmmm, fiction, where have we seen that before?)
