Is the Left Playing Opossum?

If you believe what you've been seeing or reading lately, the left has a bone to pick with Barack Obama as he attempts to distance himself from his hard left stances in the primary season and voting record in the Senate and tries to make a giant leap to the center for the general election. He has irritated left wing blogs, Move On and Jesse Jackson alike and they are making their voices heard whether they mean to or not. Or don't they?

With all of the money and effort that went into getting Barack Obama the nomination over Hillary Clinton, you can't help but wonder the same thing I'm wondering. Is this anger and disdain for Obama's new found centerism on the part of the left genuine, or is it a "Rope a Dope?"

For all of the money and power they wield among their consitiuency, I'm pretty sure that people like Jesse Jackson as well as left wing groups like Move On and various influential left wing blogs are well aware that they can't afford to beat people over the head with or outright push forward with their agenda and/or ideology with Obama because it will mean certain doom as the majority of the country does not think like them. They fully grasp that they are at best, polarizing.

The bottom line is that they have invested far too much financially and emotionally to come this far and lose. This means that they will resort to any tactic they can to help Barack Obama get elected President. That includes playing opossum and putting on a contrived show of self righteous indignation to show their "disgust" with Obama's newfound mainstream facade. The more anger and "accidental disgust" Jesse Jackson and the left shows toward Obama, the more independent and moderate undecideds warm up to the idea of voting for him and in the end, they will ultimately get what they want.

The far left on a worldwide scale has a notorious history of pulling the wool over the eyes of the ignorant and hiding their true agenda in order to get their way and this latest farce is no exception.

Do not be fooled.
