now incorrect prediction.

You don't have to write the OP quoting "unnamed sources" to play. All you have to do is jump in and add your own outrage. That is how the outrage machine works. So what if the OP, the prediction turns out to be WRONG ... who cares ... we get a solid week of people screaming that Obama is terrible ... and when he doesn't do the awful thing predicted, so what.

Just move on.

And that's what I observe, and point out. As a psychologist, I find it fascinating. There is a group here on DU who can predict anything they want, and get numerous others to scream like crazy about something that has not happened. The only effect to is to increase the anger directed towards Obama.

And then, when it doesn't happen ... they simply move on to something new.

The fact that they were wrong becomes irrelevant.
