The Alinsky Radical and What's Going on in Washington Now

In November voters punished the Republican party for the perceived harms of the Bush administration.
In January Barack Obama took the reins of government and galloped into the future still proclaiming "It's Bush's fault!"
He sends his forces marching out on a multi-front assault on our way of life and our entire system of government.
This follows several decades of lax regulation and harmful lending practices promulgated on American banks by long-standing Democrat politicians. These were the same people who denied there were any problems and now blame the Bush administration for the troubles.
He is forging far ahead of where the country is willing to go, in a classic operation out of Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky. He is shooting for 100% of the community organizer's ideal programs in a shot gun broad approach.
He surely knows there will be a backlash, and the Alinsky advise was to accept the amount you always thought you would be able to get.
When the backlash comes there will be a rollback, but probably not all the way. There will have been an incremental creep toward socialistic governance.
And that is fine with a community organizer in the Saul D. Alinsky model.
