Obama ready to pander and demagogue his way to re-election

(Reuters) - The sign at the entrance to President Barack Obama's new 2012 campaign headquarters says: "Respect. Empower. Include. Win."

what a pant-load

Respect who?

Empower who?

Include who?

Republicans?

No.

People based solely on which demographic boxes they check off?

More than likely.

Obama has no desire to be president of the United States he seeks to lead a motley collection of disgruntled outliers: gays, illegals, under or over-aged hippies, felons and union rent-a-mobs.

Obama can't run on his record and he has to shore-up his softening base and  the expense of any (legal) citizen that Holder wouldn't consider "my people."

Moreover, if (when) he loses he will position the narrative to claim the forces of bigotry rule the nation and those who seek tolerance and coexistence have no reasonable chance of doing so. He will seek to de-legitimize and agitate his supporters to stir up as much discontent and rejection as possible.

Welcome to Saul Alinsky's tipping point.

Hence his sudden and previously-unknown interest in "Immigration reform," formerly known as amnesty.

Hence his sudden and previously-unknown interest in "Immigration reform," formerly known as amnesty.

It's a given that the left's idea of "immigration reform" will go nowhere in the house, even a lot of Dem pundits say so.   That leaves pandering for votes as one reason to do it.  Another reason of course is to draw attention away from other issues, like jobs and the economy.
