The President Who Wasn't There (Pres. Illusion)

We have a president named "Obama." If you believe your media -- (hah!) -- he is a kind of Űbermensch, a more-than-human giant intellect. Or, as one addled dork said two years ago, Obama must be A Light Bringer. That's why the Norwegian Nobel Prize committee got the hots for him so bad that they had to give him the big prize before he did anything. Like Algore's Peace Prize, it was awarded for postmodern (Po-Mo) -- that is, completely fictional -- good intentions. No actual achievements were wanted or needed.

Since Marxist college professors are not going to do this job for us, I will now perform a postmodern "deconstruction" of the so-called "president" of the "United States." (Those sneer quotes are Po-Mo sniggers for things that are obviously fictional except that normal people think they are real. Like "money" and "freedom.")

I've felt for months now that Zero's popularity was suddenly going to wane. I keep waiting...but, for the first time, I believe I am seeing it. It's just the odd, pointed question at one of his many press conferences, or the lack of pictures from his stupid 50th bday bash....just little signs that the Golden Child is losing steam with his adoring supporters. And is feeling it.

I keep thinking of Michael Jackson. He was the most adored entertainer in the world....then he was the no nosed pervert, just months later. I see a similarity in these two and it has nothing to do with race. More like bizarre celebrity cult worship. The higher (and with no reason) it goes the deeper it will fall and the guy will end up exposed as a fraud.

Let's hope I'm right. It would do a lot for our spirits to see this fraud exposed. Been hard seeing through him when the “culture” has tried to sell him as something so special. Gag me.

"he is ... a more-than-human, giant intellect."

Obama and his communist terrorists pals Ayers and Dohrn fancy themselves intellectuals...

"Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at"
--Bill Ayers ("intellectual") (1970), quoted in New York Times, September 11, 2001:

"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that ["intellectual"] Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World — where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working 'only to educate' — both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers."

Very witty article!

In the recent Battle of the Budget, House Speaker John Boehner thought Obama was flip-flopping every hour just to head-fake the Republicans...But fifty years ago Charles De Gaulle gave the answer: some people tell so many lies that they can't keep track of the storyline. They never know if they're lying even as the words are coming out of their mouths.

I noticed this during the budget dispute. Obama essentially said nothing of any substance, but kept up a stream of vague, contradictory but haranguing statements that he could not possibly have believed or even understood at the time he was saying them. But it really doesn't matter to him.

Obama doesn't pay much attention to reality because he doesn't need to: he has always had his handlers, who basically point him in what they feel is the appropriate direction and tell him what to do, and he has always been obssessed with getting power, so that when he suddenly decides he wants to enact some part of his personal psychodrama, he'll just be able to go ahead and do so because "he won."

He said whatever he wanted during the budget "negotiations" because he simply doesn't believe that our system has any power over him and he is therefore not bound by anything he or anyone else says.
