Obama needs to flex his political muscle
The Washington Post ^ | 02/28/10 | Dana Milbank

Posted on 02/27/2010 10:41:55 AM PST by bulldozer

Our president is not a bully; in fact, he is the victim of bullying. He is bullied by Republicans on health care. He is bullied by congressional Democrats on everything. He is bullied by his own Cabinet. Dick Cheney pauses in his bullying of Obama only for the occasional heart attack.

I didn’t realize that the Washington Post did satire. Wow! Excellent job by Dana Milbank. What a comedic mind she must have to write such a hilariously ludicrous article.

What political muscle. This little moron of a reporterette doesn’t realize that political power comes from the people and the people are not behind him anymore.

Actually, Mao's summation of the philosophy established earlier by the U.S. Founding Fathers is more accurate: "Power comes from the barrel of a gun."

Obama is America’s First FAILED “light skinned African American [Pres-ent] with no Negro dialect..”

Obama is a useless loud mouth coward that couldn’t lead a pack of headhunters out a jungle.

Our president is not a bully...

The first indication that the author of this piece is clueless, is not in touch with reality and is not paying attention to what is going on.

Couldn’t stop laughing after reading the first sentences. Another deluded “journalist” loses all touch with reality.

I'm not serious all the time, but dead serious this time:

This technique is not the result of delusion, ignorance or stupidity!

This is entirely about repeating a lie, a fabrication, pure Bullshit*, often enough until it "sticks!"

* “Both the liar and the honest man must have regard for truth, the former to subvert it and the latter to propagate it. Bullshit, by contrast, is fundamentally unconcerned with truth or falsehood, but only with appearance, effect and persuasion, however transitory. Yuri Luzhkov was not accusing the Moscow weather forecasters of lying, or yet of trying to predict the weather and honestly failing; he was accusing them of not caring about the true weather. The essence of bullshit is getting away with it, with persuading listeners or readers of a sincerity that is, by definition, phoney. The bullshit artist simply does not care about truth: “He pays no attention to it at all,” writes Professor Frankfurt. “By virtue of this, bullshit is a greater enemy of truth than lies are.”

*BULLSHIT
