Over at the uber-popular liberal website MyDD Jerome Armstrong morosely declares the Democratic primary Hillary's to lose and knocks her main opponent, snarking, "it's the fake self-proclaimed 'movement' that exhausts me of Obama." He continues:

I say fake, not because "movement for change" and "building a movement" are such vacuous slogans, but because the continual touting of having such a movement in the Obama campaign email slog is a sure-as-heck signal that there really isn' a substantive movement behind the numbers.

In Obama latest, he sent me an email titled, "What a movement looks like?" His campaign probably didn't notice the slip, but it's an obvious truth--that adding that "?" in the title. Maybe, he thinks, he's in one... maybe not... who can tell? He wouldn't have a clue, I'm beginning to think-- that the campaign really doesn't know what a movement is made up of and are fumbling in the dark amidst their media-created momentum (which is getting primed to turn on its creation).

Amen! And ouch!
