Event Horizon (Obama, the Media, and the Depths of Delusion)
PJ Media ^ | 9/17/2012 | Richard "Wretchard" Fernandez

The contrast could not be greater. On the one hand the spin.

‘Polls show that President Obama is pulling away in every state’. Newspapers claim that the administration’s Asian diplomacy has been a great success. Overall, the administration spokesmen say, America’s image has been much improved in the Arab world....

On the other hand, there is the horrible truth.

Whatever the hacks say, there are precious few who respect the administration and in particular President Obama any more. Not the Muslim world, not the allies — Japan, Australia and Israel — not even the Chicago unions. The decline in his authority and prestige — and America’s — is palpable and catastrophic. Those who don’t hate him revile him. His name now excites ridicule or mirth, but not respect.

Of course the lapdog media will deny this but they don’t matter any more. A little more free-fall and nothing the President or his tame claques say will count in the slightest.

There’s no more point in asking the establishment to wake up and smell the coffee. It’s too late.

What propaganda on this scale and level of delusion indicates is not only that the broadcasts admit the reverse of what they claim but something far grimmer: there’s no more hope. The propaganda is the shriek of madness, a civilizational equivalent of the Dean Scream.

I think that with proper, constant supervision, Obama could possibly be somewhat adequate as a snocone stand attendant. Obama is dumber than donuts.

I was thinking more along the lines of Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf, aka Comical Ali, aka Baghdad Bob.

In case anyone is wondering how HITLER could rise to and retain power in Germany just take a look at our LAP DOG MSM and the SOCIALIST DEMOCRAT HIDE THE DECLINE PARTY for a clue.
Come November we put this ANTI AMERICAN CROWD out on their rear ends.
