[The tunes of last years Pied Piper are no longer mesmerizing, but becoming sort of creepy and even ominous.]
I’ve always found it creepy.
Now we’re back on point. Good stuff.
Bookmarked for future mass emailings.
“President” Hussein ZERO brings to mind the much feared German battleship, the Bismarck. It was hailed (as the DimoRATs hail their saviour and messiah 0bummer) as the largest warship of its time. Every Navy on earth feared the Bismarck. In theory, it could have greatly helped change the war against the U.S. and Britain.
It set sail in mid-May 1941 and was sunk by the British Navy just two weeks later.
As a wise man told me yesterday, “The economist says, ‘I believe that works in practice, but does it work in theory?’”
Thanks for posting. Great article by VDH!
“Because Obama is a revolutionary who seeks to overturn 50 years of doing business in America both at home and abroad, his shortcomings have the potential not only to diminish his own stature through unmet impossible expectations, but to take all those who signed on to his megalomania down with him.”
I am waiting for that moment with baited breath.... That is with out a doubt going to be a very sweet moment.
Here - I'll save you the trouble of typing: Google: 'Obama deeply' ;-)
The above equation pretty much ends at zero, as in nobody.
That is “deeply embarrassing” - for the media!
Let me know if you want in or out.

I must say I love VDH, but I do have problems with his linkage in this statement.
That's an awesome turn of phrase!
Well.. I mean, there was a column posted recently called Czarred and Feathered.
I guess the author wasn't as old as me and did not recall all those Army Air Corp W.W.II movies where the pilots were always having to fetter one of their bomber's engines.
I agree, czarred and fettered is absolutely fitting vis-à-vis the Obama Administration; as is bullshitvik. However a search revealed that some have already coined the word. That's good especially because the Left is not likely to (as usual) steal this word and use it against us.
IMO everyone should know that they are being czarred and fettered.
I believe the correct terminology is to: “feather an engine”.
And it's a twofer ... Her beauty is a positive boon to our national security!!!
Her face, after all, is so incredibly beautiful that it will inspire the launch of a two thousand ship navy!
Here, I think, Hanson doesn't go nearly far enough. Obama is probably not "ignorant" of them, so much as he simply does not care about those things. They're simply not relevant to the way he thinks about the world.
To Obama the narcissist, history is unimportant in comparison to Obama's sense of the world, which is based on how he thinks things should be; and that's based on a worldview that's informed by juvenile feelings and juvenile logic, applied to the leftist ideas with which he was brought up.
I truly believe that Obama's thinking is little changed from when he was 19 years old. That's the age where most of us begin to realize that our idealism isn't necessarily congruent with reality. To a narcissist, though, idealism is reality, and "real" reality doesn't count.
And if we sum up the various parts of VDH's list, I think we can approach what Americans are beginning to think, even if they haven't yet stated it in words: Obama's narcissism poses a real and serious danger to the nation.
Thanks for the correction. All these years I thought the actor was saying fetter (to restrain; i.e., reduce the power).
Now as to why the word "feather" is used instead of some other word, I can't say.
