Eyes on the ball

Good advice from Benjamin Domanech at RealClearPolitics:
[Republicans] must willfully set aside Obama’s presence in the fray, leaving the short term personalized attacks on the table, and go after the much bigger prize.  Obama isn’t running for office again.  Liberalism is.
              *     *     *
When this period of scandal draws to a close, if the idea still survives that a more competent and ethical president would be able to effectively govern a $4 trillion bureaucracy, it will be a sign Republicans have failed.  They can succeed by ignoring the tempting bait of making this about the president they despise, and focusing instead on the false philosophy of expansive government which represents the true danger to the American experiment.
Yes, his name should be mud for trying to evade responsibility for all of this, whether through willful ignorance or outright lying.  But that can wait.  By exposing himself as an empty credential-collector, he's made himself irrelevant.  The country remains important.

The Left will achieve even more power, with or without Obama.

Those who focus on short sighted tactics, will never see the strategic battlefield or where the enemy's key logistics chain is at.

Where do you see the key logistics chain, Ymar?

The education system would be my answer.

Well, my focus, for now, is on the midterm elections. We have a pretty good idea whom we'll be running against then, which is not the case for the 2016 presidential election.
