It is possible that this article somehow uncovered a conspiracy...possible but not that likely. However there may be some elements of truth. I think Obama’s first two years were of a similar calculation: drive through a left wing agenda and then lose big in the mid terms (you could tell Obama didn’t try very hard on the trail for dems in 2010.), then “move to the center”.
So this article isn’t totally bereft of logic but the thing is this: How does it really benefit Obama to have his big issue go down in flames?
I have to disagree - all he did was campaign all summer and fall. He was in Ohio, what, 8 or 10 times, trying to keep the democRAT governor in office. He campaigned very hard for as many as he could. It's just that his campaigning wasn't helpful in most cases. In fact, he had become the kiss of political death for several democrats and at least one asked that he NOT show up on their behalf.
