Tom Watson on Obama's Strategy

Not sure I buy this, but I certainly found it interesting. Tom Watson on his blog suggests that there is a good reason that the Obama administration is raising the temperature in the ongoing conflict with Fox News. He feels that it is not just a sign of irritation, that in fact the response to the malign idiocy of Glenn Beck et al. serves a larger purpose.

Strip away a lot of the noise and heat surrounding the public diss Obama is laying on Fox News, and what you're left with is a classic misdirection. It's Patton's phantom army massing to invade the Pas de Calais. It's Peyton Manning's audibles and play fakes before pounding it into the endzone. It's Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown.
