Reply #30: A loud part of DU was declaring that it would happen today ... [View All]

[JoePhilly]

to make that prediction, they posted numerous articles usually based on "unnamed sources" who declared "Obama to announce ... blah blah blah".

Each time such an OP popped up (and there were many), a stream of folks joined in the collective outrage, screaming that Obama was evil.

Now that those predictions turn out to be wrong (just as they were in the weeks prior to the State of the Union, during which the same breathless predictions flooded DU), those who screamed loudest are moving on. The fact that their prediction was wrong, or that it falsely increased anti-Obama sentiment as a result, is a non issue.

The outrage machine will simply move on to something else.
