Celeb noses out of joint as Obama disses Hollywood this time

You sure didn't see any of it during the two adulatory town hall sessions President Obama just held in Southern California.

But there are apparently a whole bunch of powerful, behind-the-scenes Hollywood types -- you know, the famous faces and the large wallets that helped make the rookie senator a rookie president -- that are truly out of joint today, in addition to being held high in the air.

It seemed at least half of liberal Hollywood ensconced to Washington for the historic inauguration back on Jan. 20. And they had a high old time. Even in the cold.

But, if you can believe this, according to one of our favorite writers here, Tina Daunt, the well made-up Hollywood set of divas -- and divos? -- is upset that for his recent St. Patrick's Day bash at the White House, the new president actually had large numbers of people from chicago. Oh, OK, Chicago. That grungy, cold, windy, corrupt city on the lake that isn't even the second largest in population anymore.

He had actual Irish people like Mayor Richard M. Daley and his wife into the White House. What's Daley made recently that drew big? Other than Blagojevich?

And at today's LA town hall one of the questioners said: "I'm not one of the Hollywood people. Just one of your volunteers." And he got a huge cheer.

The famous folks were left out. And they seem to being held at arm's-length.

ZERO to HOLLYWOOD:

I’ll call you when I need you, not today.

I can’t share the stage all the time you know.

Oh, they’ll be needed again come the next elections, and he’ll make nice to them then, and they, like scolded dogs now given a bone, will come rushing back in.

Not to worry. Hollywood will come kiss his a$$ just about anytime he asks them to. Dumbo will just wiggle his ears and Spielberg and Streisand will lead the choir in singing.

Barry’s got that sweaty, greasy, whale, goddess of the known universe, Oprah. He doesn’t need anybody else.

Hollywood worships him. He could spit on them and they'd still lie prostrate begging his absolution because they are "Hollywood types" and this offends him.

We all knew this was going to happen. Dictators have no friends; only subjects. Wait until they find out they will be building the roads to nowhere in America.

Obama is displaying classic behavior of the pathological narcissist. Use people and discard them as soon as their usefullness wanes. Of course Hollywoodies are experts at this game themselves so it should be no surprise to them to find they aren't all that special after all.

This is funny. Clearly they have such a high opinion of themselves they didn’t or don’t realize this POTUS has an even higher opinion of hisownself...... and people are nothing more than stepping stones — at least WHITE people.

Pres’ent Obama does not give his children gifts at Christmas, but he does celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?
