Only One Explanation for Martha's Vineyard
Victor Davis Hanson asks "Whose idea was Martha's Vineyard?"
Good question. I think I know the answer...Obama's himself. He knows he's done and he doesn't care. He's given the "progressive" movement three of their long-standing dreams, much else is probably not doable; and the Clintonites are easing him out to prevent further long term damage to the broader Democratic party. One-termism won't be a stain, at least for him. He'll dine out for the rest of his life on both the mythology of Obamaism and his place in history. He will hand Rick Perry or Mitt Romney the problems he's created and let the cards fall where they may. Eventually, he'll swagger around almost as if he's was above a second term and lob bombs in the manner that ex-Presidents are not supposed to do. And when a President Perry utters the word "God", he'll say 'I told you so' and relish it as his surrogate's print up a bevy of "Miss Me Yet" t-shirts with his likeness on them.
UPDATE: Peggy Noonan posits that he's giving up too, although she does not see the Clintonian/Machiavellian engineered ouster that I see, granted that would be a bit to conspiratorial for the pages of the WSJ.
