Reply #17: Great Leaders Are Often Betrayed By Their Own,

[mikekohr]

History if full of such examples, from the betrayal of William Wallace of Scotland to the assassination of Chief Crazy Horse on the Great Plains of America.

Wallace was given over to the English to suffer disembowelment and dismemberment. Crazy Horse was bayoneted in the back by Private William Gentles as his hands were held behind him by his life long friend Little Big Man. Crazy Horse's last words were, "Tell the people it is no use to depend upon me any longer."

In the end it was the betrayal of Crazy Horse and William Wallace by elements from within their own ranks that led to their murders. So it will be with President Obama if he fails. It will be the splintering of his own base, the dissatisfaction of those that clamor for faster more pervasive change, of those that seek to protect their own selfish interests. If President Obama falls, History has written,it will likely be his own people that bring him and his policy of pragmatic reform to an end.

As Hiawatha demonstrated, a bundle of seven arrows could not be broken. But one by one each arrow could be snapped with little effort. If we lose this battle, this is how it will be lost.
