You know what's intriguing? I wrote The Secret Handshake and It's All Politics to help readers understand the subtle, underworld of politics. But Karl Rove and his ilk play the game so overtly, in such an in-your-face-why-should-I-care-if-you-catch-me manner that subtly has left the building. In TSH I wrote that in most organizations and in government "the political savvy necessary to break down barriers to the inner circles is inaccessible to all but a very few." Politics is an enigmatic puzzle to most people. Those who understand it share their knowledge sparingly as the acquisition of the "secret handshake" is "purposely kept ambiguous."
But the current occupiers of The White House are so arrogant that they don't need to use crafty strategies to achieve their nefarious ends. They just do as they like. That's a frightening level of pathology indeed. It'd be great to go back to the days when people needed my books to understand the good and bad of politics. It'd be a healthier condition by far!

Obama's pixie dust is wearing off.
A few in the corporate media are finally starting to reveal some details about this man's judgment.
I speak of Obama's long association with his spiritual advisor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Obama says he didn't know Wright was far, far left. While that is hard to believe, it says that Obama is not a very discerning judge of character. And it shows poor judgment for a presidential candidate to allow such an extremist to serve on his campaign.
Rev. Wright says AIDS was created by the US government to kill black people.
Come on!
"I didn't know about that man, Rev. Wright." Is that what Obama is telling us?
But there is more to come.
Obama's friend, William Ayers, is an unrepentent terrorist.
An Obama fund raiser, Rashid Khalidi, supports terrorists.
Wait till these tidbits come out. Maybe they won't release them till after Obama wins the nomination.
These associations with radicals show that Obama does not yet have the judgment nor the experience to be at the top of the ticket.
