They Can Sense Your Fear

Something about being cornered and on the defensive causes us to reek of fear and distress, lending our enemies an extra dollop of bravery and aggression.

Too bad then, that right now, when conservative scare mongers need a good whupping on the nose with a rolled-up copy of the health care reform bill, President Obama and his suddenly-shaky band are backpedaling.

Yes, even Barack Obama is vulnerable to the incessant shouting of dumbed-down, scary sound bites to the masses. The Republican conservative fringe have been successful in rousing the rabble (good, honest, American rabble to be sure, but sadly misled and uninformed), and Mr. Obama seems weary of the struggle.

We can only hope the President can take a breather and come back fighting. We need him to win this thing for us, whether all of us know it or not.
