TIME magazine headline, 1947:
“Hitler wasn’t a really gifted general. However, he did get a lot done militarily so that counts for something.”
The article ultimately has no point except to claim there’s no way to successfully criticize Obama.
If it wasn’t for a complacent republican house, Obama couldn’t pull all this crap. We knew what Obama would do but we at least expected a fight.
If we had an UNbiased media, 0bama would still be picketing in Chicago with the Black Panthers as a community organizer.
Obama seemed bored in his first term, because he was. His handlers had him trying to govern. Obama isn’t smart enough for that. Obama is cunning. Obama’s training as a community organizer makes him quite skilled in subversion.
This term, Obama’s handlers have let him go, or perhaps, with nothing to lose, Obama has chosen his direction. Obama is crushing conservatives, and ruling the Chicago way. I would present his de facto gun control as an example. No executive order, no legislation, simply have DHS buy up all the ammunition.
Until/unless there is a real leader to fight this piece of human garbage, we as a nation are totally screwed.
“Obama is very possibly a world-historical political figure”
YEP, RIGHT UP THERE WITH MAO, HITLER & STALIN, but actually more of a 3rd world Punk-Tyrant like Chavez or Castro.
If you think this deserves MAXIMUM BARF WARNING, imagine the fawning history books that will be hitting the market the minute Boy Wonder and Queen Moo are out of the White House.
Seriously - I do expect Obama to be pushed on future generations as one of the top one or two prsidents of all time.
Just consiider how the history and accomplishments of Lincoln, JFK and MLK have been inflated and how they have been pushed on the country.
It is called the Mystery of Evil.
Later.
Obama does not have rare skill or political genius.
He is inept in many ways. The only reason the far left is seeing some of its goals accomplished for now is because they’ve decided on a no holds barred lie at all costs way of doing things.
It wouldn’T matter who was in the Oval Office. The media now lies at every turn about everything. That’s the only reason Obama is where he is.
lol
world historical figure!?!?
ROFL! oh man! I needed a good laugh today!
maybe then meant historical fuckup! like Chamberlain!!
Obama makes Hitler look like a choirboy.
The Pod is wrong as usual. The GOP are loaded with COWARDS who are afraid to be called racist. THAT is the problem.
0bama could go on TV for a “major policy announcement” naked with a feather duster up his ass, and he can get away with it because his lap-dog media will gush over how it was a very nice designer feather duster. That ought to be the real point of this article. Hell, I could be a flawless president if I had media and entertainment carrying my water 24/7.
Obama is backed by: almost all of the MSM; almost all of academia; almost all of the public school system; almost all of the mass entertainment industry; almost every international organization; all of organized labour; most “liberal” religious organizations, etc.
A more accurate way of putting it would be: Obama is the figurehead for an ideological movement, that has systematically taken over nearly all of the important opinion-formers in the country. Obama could spend all of his time on the golf course, or flying to expensive taxpayer-paid holidays, and still appear as “successful”.
Perplexing but true: Mitt Romney is on the glide path to the most easily secured nomination a Republican presidential candidate has ever had — while being one of the weakest major candidates either party has ever seen.
Obama is a puppet. He believes strongly in his leftist agenda, but he is controlled and manipulated by others. He still doesn’t know what is in obamacare, and he doesn’t care. He cares more about his march madness basketball brackets.
He and Biden are foolish little puppets.
John Podhoretz recognizes that Obama, while nothing close to the ‘genius’ his supporters claim, is clever and dangerous. I blame voter apathy, Republican cowardice and media influence for Obama’s ability to do so much damage and yet not be held accountable. Something we’ll all pay for, one way or another.
Obama is very possibly a world-historical political figure.
Yeah he’s the greats loser and wants everyone else to be one too.
Trip stumble and fall is all he can do.
