All I can say about John Kass’s latest piece is that he really detests Barack Obama, doesn’t he? You can get what you need to know from its title: “To Move Forward, Democrats Must Oust Obama”.
I don’t believe that President Obama is running the Democratic Party. He reminds me more of Hamilton’s warning in Federalist 72:
Would it promote the peace of the community, or the stability of the government to have half a dozen men who had had credit enough to be raised to the seat of the supreme magistracy, wandering among the people like discontented ghosts, and sighing for a place which they were destined never more to possess?
I don’t know who’s actually running the Democratic Party at this point. Maybe nobody. Maybe it’s like feudal Japan where those actually in charge maintained such a low profile that nobody knew who they were.
