The Man Who Would Be King...
Tom Junod is a northeast liberal ... he drank the cool aid early on, like many in that part of the world. Consider the source.
You're right. Obama is really Ron Burgundy. Remember that movie? Towards the end, it was revealed that the only reason Ron Burgundy was successful was that he read well. He knew nothing about the news business, had no clue as to what went into producing a news story, or how to air a program, or the money/financing side of broadcasting. All he knew how to do was read from a teleprompter. It was what made him who he was. Basically, nothing.
Tom Junod can’t quite get his head around the fact that Obama is just an actor reading his lines. The magic is gone because everyone now realizes it is just an act. That sweet sounding rhetoric is really just a script that someone more talented wrote for him.
He’s a lot like the purchase of a car from a used car lot.
Some pass him/the car up right away because you can tell there are problems.
Others are very interested and end up beggaring themselves to buy him/the car and then find out too late that they bought a lemon.
Buyers remorse for sure, but you are still stuck with a lemon.
Unfortunately there were too many desperate fools out there that decided to buy into him/the car, and now we are stuck....well for another two years anyway.
This goes also for VP Joe Bite Me. I always hear him talking about “Barack and I” during his idiotic campaign appearances. There was a time when a man ascended to the presidency he was no longer referred to in public by first name or “dude”, but with the special respect of “Mr. President”.
Obama and Clinton before him are of a vulgarian culture who have no sense of awe or respect for being the successors to Washington and Lincoln. They are just part of the show business crap culture, nothing special, no sense of the greatness of the position they hold.
“The world’s population”. That’s the big lie these thugs are always telling you. They really want you to believe it’s about the good of the people. It’s about the people alright; but how they can enslave them to do the work of a few ones who really believe they are God. The common sense question to ask is why in this day and time have these countries not progressed? Could it be their style of government? Look at the third world countries our phony leaders, billionaires, corporations and all around liars are always screaming about. Ask why they don’t live in them. They could surely do good with their money; but they don’t want that. They want all the money and power and control and to hell with the rest of us.
Didn’t barry lose his law license for failing to report an alias or something like that?
First wookie lost hers for unethical behavior correct?
Both residents of the WH are bisbarred, hmm.
To me, he’s ‘bobo the magic ass-clown’. and he still has a band of merry thugs from Chicago too!
Whatever.
He never had the inner consciousness of leadership, of patriotism, of love and concern for this country and therefore, his true spirit was bound to surface at some point. Thankfully for us, the deception was revealed sooner rather than later.
“Vulgarian culture”-you hit the nail.

Politics is a binary system. If you don't like one party, you find reasons to believe in the other party, even if those reasons don't have factual foundations. It's not so much a question of how smart they are, it's a matter of how much they wanted to believe, and some of them wanted to believe an awful lot.
“But Barack Obama — President Obama — can still be great, even if he has to sing someone else’s song.”
First, I reject the author’s premise. But second, even if it were true, Barack Obama has shown in his presser that he’s absolutely way too narcissistic to be singing anyone else’s song. President Obama is toast. It’s only a question of whether he is impeached, resigns or has to be tossed from office in 2012.
I am a professional writer, and my credits include working on speeches that have been delivered by major figures at nationally-televised GOP conventions. I am not disillusioned by Obama because I never fell for the illusions about him to begin with. It was obvious to me from day one that he was an empty suit who was being elevated far beyond his capabilities thanks to the Dems’ liberal racial guilt (they wanted to pat themselves on the back for backing a black guy and showing how progressive they were) and their perpetual confusion of oratory with accomplishment (Mario Cuomo, anyone?)
As a writer myself, I always saw his speeches for what they were: giant edifices of verbal cotton candy, spun out of nothing. Try to take a bite out of them, and they dissolve away because they were all air and no content. If you were actually impressed by a line like “we are the people we have been waiting for,” then it’s a sure bet your I.Q. is lower than you think it is and might possibly be smaller than your hat size.
And now he is groveling....HA HA HA....zero is finished...
I've always felt that's one big reason the left hates Alan Keyes, who is one of the most eloquent speakers I've ever heard.
What are these people smoking? Bambi was NEVER “eloquent.” He droned out tired left-wing cliches in a whining, hectoring voice and only woke up occasionally when it was all about him and he could vent a little spleen. But the press loved it.
He was obviously always ignorant as the day is long, not quick on his feet mentally, stammered and was given to strange facial expressions - but the press had an idee fixee in their mind, the black leftwing anti-American savior who would carry them out of thralldom to morality and common sense, and that was what they colored everything they saw or heard.
Marco Rubio is a great speaker - I saw him and I was truly impressed. But this is because (a) it’s not all about him - he actually talks about ideas and objectives - and (b) he respects his audience and thinks they also care about ideas and objectives.
Actually, Bush was a very good speaker at campaigns, too, but he was terrible in press conferences, debates, etc. Rubio is good at all these things. He just is what he is, not like Obama, who really isn’t anything at all.
Oh, and Rubio’s not a sociopath. THat’s probably a pretty big difference right there!
