Reporter: Campaign journalists ‘swooned’ over Obama during off-the-record bar visit
Washington Examiner ^ | January 18, 2013 | Charlie Spiering

“We were all, on some level, deeply obsessed with Obama, crushing hard, still a little love there. This was nerd heaven, a politico’s paradise, the subject himself moving among us — shaking our hands, slapping our shoulders!”

As I said before there are Christians who are blind, there are atheists who don’t believe one way or the other and there are those who know exactly who he is.

"I don't find Obama attractive in the least."

I don't either. However I read in several analysis that he has some kind of sexual attraction to a certain strata of womanhood.

If you recall, Frank Sinatra had great sex appeal to women and teen girls. I saw him in person at the Chicago Theater during the onset of his budding career. I saw the fainting, the screaming, the throwing of panties at him. While some of it might have been squealing paid shills, it was genuine cult worship among most. I was awestruck at the effect the man had.

Sinatra was fragile-looking in build, skinny and bony, ears stuck out....and certainly not classicly handsome by any stretch. But when he opened his mouth to sing, he became Adonis to the female cultists.

Similarily, Obama is skinny and bony, ears stick out......and certainly not classicly handsome by any stretch. But when he opens his mouth to orate, he becomes Adonis to the female cultists.

In fact, Obama has frequently been referred to as the "black Sinatra"...i.e. both having that certain casual look......with Frankie's famous blue eyes and Obama's piercing almost-black eyes emanating a certain sexual attraction.

And above all, they both had a kind of sophisticated, laid-back "cool"....cool, man, cool....cooler than the cultish womens' boring husbands and boyfriends, to be sure.

For both performers, a great part of their astonishing success in life can be attributed to an aura they cultivated....an aura they used to sell records and concert tickets to legions of women in one case, and to garner votes from legions of women in the second case.

The Holocaust has been discussed richly, but few know about the mechanisms of control in Japan over the press —it was ALL informal. There were almost NO formal laws dictating what the press could not say before and during their war in Asia and on the USA.

They said informal rules were WAY more effective than laws, because it never created, “censorship heroes”. You couldn’t speak up publicly because you’d get stabbed to death, and no one would say anything.

Seeing this camaraderie are we to really believe the Legacy Media would refuse Obama ANYTHING...?

We are on a very dark path. THIS WILL NOT END WELL.

This segment is primarily about the nazi youth but if you watch closely you’ll see a quote from the NY times praising nazi Germany as a peaceful and prosperous nation.

You really have to wonder what kind of bizarre totalitarian utopia they believe in to want to impose it on their own children.

I've always thought that most liberals deny the existence of God and fill that void inside themselves with government. They cannot possibly comprehend that they and those who think like them will not create a perfect paradise here on Earth. If something goes wrong, like Obamacare (which will go so many shades of wrong we will lose count), it will either be someone else's fault (Christians, Republicans) or that it didn't go far enough. And they will tweak it, rebuild it, and retitle it and when it fails yet again, they will start all over.

That is the very definition of insanity, and I firmly believe that liberalism is a mental problem. They hate God and since he created all of us in His image, they hate themselves and everyone else.

That’s an interesting analogy, between the “young Sinatra” and Obama. Hadn’t thought of it before. Probably because the sight of the ugly, unmanly Obama tends to gross me out long before I can contemplate such notions.

As for the media, they’ve become such slavish handmaidens to Obama, protecting him and their ruling-class masters, they’ve really managed to cow the traditional ‘opposition,’ and America is now close to being (in effect) a one-party state. Which will continue to cultivate a fascist direction.

I remember reading somewhere that the “reporters” on the Kennedy campaign in 1960 would join in singing detrimental songs about Nixon, lead by Robert Kennedy. Such is the media: they are truly whore-ish.

Interestingly enough I saw Buzz Aldrin on a news show a few weeks ago complaining about utopian views hindering our progress into space. He said that a segment of the population doesn't want anything to happen till all war and hunger are ended on earth but refuse to accept the reality of human nature.

Those journalists should go to the restroom and try to get ahold of themselves.

I'm sure it's all they can do to keep themselves from doing that in his presence.

This story just confirms what we’ve all known, that the media is topheavy with sexually ambiguous mental defectives.

Their children and grandchildren have to grow up in the same country as ours.
How many of these people are childless by choice? They don't have to worry much about the future since no one they know will live in it. For the same reason, they don't care about the rest of the country since no one they know lives there.

I LOVE Buzz Aldrin!

I loathe the whole liberal argument that we need to “utopianize earth first” before heading out to the stars...

Since Utopia is an impossible goal that means we will NEVER reach the stars with that bunch of navel gazing fools at the helm.

I admired Reagan. I know a lot of Freepers did. But would any have swoooned?

Indeed. There is something downright creepy about this cult of personality the MSM has ginned up for Obama. It borders on the psychotic. I mean, can you imagine back in the day someone like Bill Buckley penning some gushing personal lovey-dovey editorial about Reagan? He might agree or disagree on policy, but he wouldn't write some moon-eyed mush about Reagan. That would have been just plain weird.

That is a great point. Liberals have never understood human nature. The economy is proof positive of that...most people have slashed their personal spending and many businesses are inert on hiring and spending because of liberal policies. And they can't figure out why the economy isn't booming, because they can't understand the human element of economics.

They loved John Edwards... and Al Gore too.

Yeah, I’ sure that mindset has nothing to do with why newspapers are failing - everywhere...

I still have conservative minded friends and family who buy newspapers and watch alphabet news.

If we collectively (love using their word) boycotted this crap it would be over in two months.

They wouldn’t know what hit their pocketbooks
