This job, too, is beneath Obama[THE UNSTOPPABLE GUSH]
Orange County Register ^ | 11 June 2010 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 06/11/2010 10:57:24 PM PDT by JLS

So a man swept into office on an unprecedented tide of delirious fawning is now watching his presidency sink in an unstoppable gush. That's almost too apt.

Unfortunately, in the real world, a disastrous president has consequences. So let me begin by citing the Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition in Canada. Whoa, whoa, don't stampede for the exits!

that it's really too small for him, and he's just killing time until something more commensurate with his stature comes along.

I disagree. Zero stumbled into the presidency because he's black and because democrats are inherently stupid. He's Tyrone from the projects and is going to milk this scam for all it's worth. Then he'll brag to his homies about what a sucker whitey is.

Some people are born failures, others achieve failure and some have failure thrust upon them. Obama believes failure is thrust upon him. In other words, Bush’s fault, BP’s fault, congress’ fault, etc...

... he is the very model of a modern major generalist. He has grand plans for "the environment" – all of it, wherever it may be. Why should the great eco-Gulliver be ensnared by some Lilliputian oil spill lapping round his boots? He flew in to Cairo to give one of the most historically historic speeches in history to the Muslim world. Why should such a colossus lower his visionary gaze to contemplate some no-account nickel'n'dime racket like the Iranian nuclear program? With one stroke of his pen, he has transformed the health care of 300 million people. But I suppose if there's some killer flu epidemic or a cholera outbreak in New Mexico, you losers will be whining at Obama to do something about that, too. In recent months, a lot of Americans have said to me that they had no idea the new president would feel so "weird." But, in fact, he's not weird. True, he's not, even in Democratic terms, a political figure – as, say, Clinton or Biden are. Instead, he's the product of the broader culture: There are millions of people like Barack Obama, the eternal students of a vast lethargic transnational campus for whom global compassion and the multicultural pose are merely the modish gloss on a cult of radical grandiose narcissism. As someone once said, "We are the ones we've been waiting for." When you've spent that long waiting in line for yourself, it's bound to be a disappointment.


Says it all. He is not what most of us on FR want, but then he was not what the voters really thought they were getting.

Then again was he maybe something they wanted to think of themselves as?

Either way, he is pathetic. Worse than most all on either side thought anyone in the position would ever be.

You nailed it. Even his most die hard supporters are admitting it.

But if you watch them on FOX the other side defends him to the end. Worse than they ever were about Clinton.

For that reason, even if he was caught in an illegal action (and even then) they will never even get the other side to agree to impeachment.

NOT PROVEN! (Arlen Spector at the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton)

"We are the ones we've been waiting for."

When you've spent that long waiting in line for yourself, it's bound to be a disappointment.

Absolutely hilarious, and spot on.

Barack Obama:

operational without such a declaration being based on any true capability

engaged mostly by abstractions and generalities

indeed, the very model of a modern major generalist

has grand plans for "the environment" – all of it, wherever it may be

the great eco-Gulliver ensnared by some Lilliputian oil spill lapping round his boots

Its like poetry!

As someone once said, "We are the ones we've been waiting for." When you've spent that long waiting in line for yourself, it's bound to be a disappointment.

...and because democrats are inherently stupid.

Truly! Just look at what happened with the Dem who won the SC primary on Tuesday...Alvin Greene. Talk about stupid! Dem leaders in the state attribute his win to people voting for him because his name appeared on the ballot first. You can't make this stuff up.

Obama is simply taking advantage of all the perks that come with the highest office in the land....he is far too busy doing so to remember why he was there most of the time...to destroy the country from the inside out. Yet, somehow through his incompetence, just "perking" it all days satisfies the same accomplishment and taking time out of "perking" all day is what is beneath him. He has become the fattest...dare I say it...black cat in Washington, DC. In his incompetence and arrogance he is actually accomplishing exactly what he wanted to do.
America is waking up Obama...... even some of the media is...after all, they can't stand to have someone else think they THEY run the government!!! The media can be just as incompetent as you can!
