Holy Chi-Town, Batman!
Hey, take a look at some of these videos: extremely plausible Democrats--yes, Democrats--from Texas and Indiana claiming that Obama operatives bullied them, cheated and manipulated the caucus process to get their candidate onto the ballot in '08. Now I know: everyone's first reaction, including mine, is a sort of Tony Soprano shrug. "Democrat politics. Whatcha gonna do?" And yet I can't help feeling this is what you might call one corner of a jigsaw puzzle that, when completed, will show the true portrait of our president as he is. A lot of the info on the vids is technical but if you want a direct emotional hit, try Part 3 below beginning at around 3:50. A dignified matriarch who marched with MLK, expresses her grief at watching thugs turn away black voters who wanted to vote for Hillary. Which is to say: despite the color of his skin, Obama is not the inheritor of the civil rights tradition, but just another in a long line of Tweedian Democrats, gaming the commons in pursuit of raw power.

Re: Holy Chi-Town, Batman!
I'm surprised to see this kind of lefty infighting before we even hit the midterm elections. Makes me a little less concerned about the GOP doing its usual routine of shooting itself in one foot while chewing on the other.
However honest and warranted these attacks on Obama may be, I'm sure they'll be given the same amount of media attention as disquiet in the Republican ranks! Hah-- shoot, that's not funny.
