Obama Invictus

[neverdem]

The myth for today is that of Obama Invictus -- the undefeated champion, the master campaigner, the man who could have taught lessons to Honey Fitz, Dick Daley, and Lyndon B. Johnson himself. Obama is the epitome of the politician for our time and perhaps for all time. His election was inevitable, so we're told, as soon as he decided to descend from Olympus and claim the White House. The idea that mere mortals would seek to contest it would be funny if it weren't so pathetic. Somebody like Mitt Romney represents no more than a few hours' sport.

There's no point in trying to destroy all the Obama myths -- there are too many of them, and new ones are popping up all the time. It would (be) nice if we could -- this man is made of myths and next to nothing else. If you destroyed each and every Obama myth, there wouldn't be so much as a ghostly image left. (That includes the Obama Antichristus myth that has so many conservatives reduced to such a state of whimpering terror that they won't even vote against him.) But there are a few that really deserve to be stomped flat and put out on the corner for pickup, on the grounds that they're an insult to so much as contemplate, and the myth of Obama as great campaigner is one of them.

Obama's 2008 effort was the perfect campaign, meticulously planned and completely mapped out down to the last small detail. Obama, Axelrod, Emmanuel, and the rest of the unindicted didn't miss a single trick -- except for, oh, Jeremiah Wright, the botched birth certificate release, the Brandenberg Gate speech, the classical pillars...minor stuff, easily overlooked and scarcely of any interest.

Looked at from that point of view...

It's Obama's depression and his lousy recovery

[liberty or death]

Typical Dixiecrat racism. They pushed the most inept and unqualified man to ever win the office so they can now say “we tried”. Liberalism on display as their “intention” was oh so noble because they gave one of their token minorities a shot at the big league. Character, personal history, and reality did not matter. Just the color of his skin and his ability to speak. Must really piss off Jessie HHMMM Jackson and the Rev/Scam Sharpton to no end.

Awesome graphic, Phil!

Good article, too.

Obama IS, every day, proving he’s a myth.

[freekitty]

He should never have been elected POTUS.

[clearcarbon]

Looking forward to the big network send-off the LMSM will rig for January 2013 for the un-chosen one.

Actually , the whole thing comes down to media support. The media now makes our decisions and they still love Obama so the truth is never told about him.

And Romney is a lousy candidate with a lousy campaign. The only thing he really had was money and the fact that he has spent every moment since 2008 running. But he too had the support of the press from the very start, so his gaffes disappeared , everybody else was made to look like a buffoon, and the media annointed him right out of the gate.

Voters in the US are entirely media driven; the country is really being run by a bunch of half-wit communications majors and vapid actors.

and Lyndon B. Johnson himself

LBJ had sense enough to know when the gig was up.... Not Hussein!

Dunn makes a number of very good points. One major concern, though is the degree to which the financial crisis of 2008 just happened, or the degree to which it was created and timed by pro-Obama operatives.

If it was a manufactured crisis, what is going to happen this September???

[tbpiper]

That includes the Obama Antichristus myth that has so many conservatives reduced to such a state of whimpering terror that they won't even vote against him.

What?? "So many...reduced to whimpering terror"?? Who in the world is he talking about?

[norwaypinesavage]

"And Romney is a lousy candidate with a lousy campaign."

You certainly didn't get that from the article. Dunn said: "his primary campaign of the past few months has been one of the most impressive of recent years by any politician on either side of the aisle." He certainly eviscerated all of his opponents.

What is the basis for your statement?

A belief that reality is the way the writer imagines it to be combined with a certainty that if it didn't go that way, it could have nothing at all to do with his ideas or the way he went about promoting them but only with something nefarious done by someone else, the answer being to refuse support to any but his now-rejected chosen even if it means the re-election of a socialist putz but that's okay because it'll show Romney and the GOP-e that he, the disgruntled, is a real force to be reckoned with and that if they had only listened to him everything would have been all right?

[norwaypinesavage]

Punctuation is your friend. Your rant is unreadable.

[Eye of Unk]

A different tack into the wind.

Whiteface Obama at every opportunity from now on.

He isn’t black, nobody can convince me he is black, he pretends to talk jive but Obama is just a darkskiinned white cracker.

Eliminate the “White Guilt” ideology.

[uncbob]

Exactly
An issue is not an issue unless the MSM plays it night after night after night after night after night after night after night after night after night after night after night after night after night after night loud enough and long enough

You've got their number, liberty.

With special thanks to the Washington Post and other suck-up news outlets...
