You know, there used to be pages of paranoid ramblings about Bush never giving up his presidency and they seem all but forgotten now. Oh sure, there's the occasional (Cheney, Poppy, Haliburton) is still pulling all the strings...most often by gay DUmmies these days who've come to realize that Obama, like most on the left, don't give one whit about their "right" to marry...because if he truly had power he would miraculously grant every liberal faction their hearts desire with a flip of his wrist. I fully expect each little group will be given their opportunity at outrage. When your party has led you to believe that YOUR issue (and thus yourself) is the most important issue facing the human race and then discover its only important when they need something from you, well you would tend to get a little miffed to find out you aren't the center of the universe. Kind of like the little kid whose told he'll get a treat at the store if he just behaves then at the checkout line realizes he's not getting anything...or maybe just a token tootsie roll pop among a sea of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Without outrage the Democrat party would cease to exist. The powers that be have to keep them always on the edge, always outraged, always helpless with villains aplenty to blame, always thrown a token here and there, always with their ultimate goal just...out...of...reach. If they were capable of finding out their lot in life and their happiness (regardless of the hand dealt) is wholly dependent on themselves they wouldn't need a false Messiah to prop them up and say soothing nothings with pretty words.
