But of course, the workings of the darkness have continued unabated --a collaboration of sorts among the Hillary campaign, the media (e.g. the ABC fiasco), and the right wing-- and Obama's deftness in dealing with them has, with the exception of his speech on race in response to the Rev. Wright bruhaha, has been insufficient for the escalating assault on him and, equally important, on the foundations he was building for creating a transformative presidency with the powers behind it (popular, on one level, and spiritual, on another) to enable him to squeeze out the evil from its position athwart our political system.
I've by no means given up on that hopeful scenario, by which he becomes president and is able to inspire and enlist the American people in sufficient numbers and with sufficient intensity to overpower the dark forces.
But, even while maintaining such hopes, I'm looking once again at the alternative scenario, the "Muddle Through Scenario," with its regrettable but not altogether hopeless implications for the future of our country.
