Like a magician, you have to keep your eye on this guy at all times. Both hands. See, just as all masters of illusion he gets you to look at this hand over here while the other hand is performing the other act of deception.
Look over here... He's calling in two former presidents to help in the Haitian relief efforts. Meanwhile, if you look over there, he's going to Taxachusetts to shore up his
60th vote in the Senate for the government takeover of healthcare.
Other such feats are far less impressive due to the nuisance of video and audio tape. Like saying that the the healthcare talks would be on CSPAN. This is less believable since we can just play back the audio of this promise when it fails to materialize. Unless of course you are taken by the on stage entrance of Obama's lovely assistant. The mainstream media. Like any good aide they help to divert the attention of the mesmerized audience.
Lastly, the money that will be needed to pull off such a trick does not grow on trees or magically appear out of a magicians hat. Some of it may be printed to excess, but the bulk of it will be extracted from the audience via tax increases. Especially from those deemed to be "the rich". The winners of lifes lottery. The expertise needed to accomplish this is more in line with that of a pick pocket. A predator. Who also uses diversion to attain their goal. But people voluntarily pay to see a magician and now that price of admission is coming due.
