Seems to me the internal conflict is only invisible to the consumer classes. The ones who put X Factor and Footie above keeping an eye on world affairs. As I've mentioned before on many occasions Obama's first choice of political book in the Whitehouse was the Lincoln biography Team Of Rivals. Maybe the only upset he's facing right now is an October Surprise. I doubt anyone in the mainstream knows what turfed Carter out after the first term but that's mainstream for you. The more mainstream you go, the less you know.
