The Press Masturbates Over Emanuel, Axelrod; the Problem is Obama!

The only glimmer of truth in the dozens of stories about the dysfunctional White House is that Obama himself is the problem. Most ridiculous are the press wars about frictions between Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod and the Chicago gang. This is all a distraction, said Lyndon LaRouche today because they want to create a perception instead of reality. "The system is coming down, and most of the stories are potential distractions," LaRouche said. "They've got a real crisis, and the point is—the system is coming down."

Examiner.com almost had it right with the headline, "Washington Post Writers Mentally Masturbating over Rahm Emanuel," but then proceeded to join in the orgy. It got so intense, that Emanuel and Axelrod made a joint phone call to Business Week's Albert Hunt because they got wind that he was writing a story on the Rahm vs. Axe wars. "It's the love guys," they told Business Week. A few days earlier Obama called the top staff together at the White House to tell them to cut it out — "we're sticking together." Columnist Frank Rich warned that Obama has a deadline for winning some kind of victory — November 2, the mid-term elections. The true deadline is now.

We know the real story—only the removal of Barack Obama from the presidency is going to save the country and the human race. Belatedly, some people are trying to find ways to deal with Obama. But LaRouche stressed in a discussion on Saturday that this won't work. "They recognize the problem that we pose for the enemy, and they want to be on the fence. But the problem is, there's no fence there, there's only a hole. Not a good place to sit."
