Does this mean they have discovered that he was over exposed?

He impressed the Fox Allstars, though.

Tucson: Obama Does Best When He Says Nothing

[Dick Bachert]

Interestingly, this was a comparison I made 7 months before the election. “Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again – and CHANGE. DON’T FORGET CHANGE!”

Any time that dickhead is on TV I have to change the channel.

I feel dumber for every second I watch him.

I may give O’Reilly’s interview a try. I’m afraid however Bill’s head may implode and that wouldn’t be good.

[rickomatic]

And just as all the “important” socialites and leaders tried to tie themselves to Chauncy, so do today’s glitteratti attempt to tie themselves to Obambi’s wagon. The Emporer indeed is naked.

"I may give O’Reilly’s interview a try."

Knowing O'Reilly, and what an obama suck-up he is, he'll probably make my head explode before obama does by pandering to the illegal immigrant.

[FrdmLvr]

That is SO on target. And we FReepers have been calling him Chauncy Gardner from the time he entered the national spotlight.

I feel dumber for every second I watch him.

You are not alone.

“Being There” is one of my favorite films and Peter Sellers (in his next to last movie role) and Melvyn Douglas (in his last movie role) are just superb in their roles. The subtle humor that Sellers delivers is in such stark contrast to most comedy films that feel they have to bash you over the head with the joke in fear that you won’t get it.

It’s really a satire on the political class who are supposedly smarter than everyone else and so “smart” that they can be fooled by the exploits of a simpleton.

But Barack Obama is no simpleton. He’s not brilliant, like the Left wants you to believe but he is a Harvard-educated socialist/Marxist who probably dreams of taking the country much father left than he has but America has now waken up from its slumber and is opposing him.

He admires dictators and tyrants. He sees China as utopia. He wants a world of massive, unrelenting government control and everything he does should be viewed in that context.

Obama’s no genius but he’s also no moron. He’s a product of our hard-left university professors of whom he implicitly trusts.

I love “Being There” - I’ve got to watch it again soon.

A great scene:

Ron Steigler: Mr. Gardner, uh, my editors and I have been wondering if you would consider writing a book for us, something about your um, political philosophy, what do you say?

Chance the Gardener: I can’t write.

Ron Steigler: Heh, heh, of course not, who can nowadays? Listen, I have trouble writing a postcard to my children. Look uhh, we can give you a six figure advance, I’ll provide you with the very best ghost-writer, proof-readers...

Chance the Gardener: I can’t read.

Ron Steigler: Of course you can’t! No one has the time! We, we glance at things, we watch television...

Chance the Gardener: I like to watch TV.

Ron Steigler: Oh, oh, oh sure you do. No one reads!

(And then they hire Bill Ayers - lol)

it was David Axelrod who molded Barack Obama. Although Obama had a history, he reached the national stage because Axelrod suppressed it and the media chose not to know it or share it.

This gloss is counterproductive. Jack Cashill has done outstanding work uncovering Obama, but here he works against our understanding of Chauncey Gardner's past. Our own Chauncy has a real, well-documented past that reveals a near-30 year involvement with socialist groups and leaders. Axelrod was just one of a galaxy of stars in this movement, and by no means the most crucial one. Stanley Kurtz unravels Chauncey's movements, and it is only through learning each of these organizations and how they operate can we begin to combat this stealth socialism. Radical-in-Chief needs to be our Alinsky manual, which we need to implement in every state, if we are to begin to undo the chains ravelling around us.

Is it a coincidence that I was listeing to a line from Keith Whitley’s song “you say it best when you say nothing at all” just as I was reading this thread? LOL

at .50 seconds on the video.....there is such great irony that align to today-—do watch :-)

[libertarian27]

‘No background, nothing - zilch...’

Hmm, where have I seen (not seen) that before.

Thanks for the link - looks like the whole movie in segments - will watch again!

[FrdmLvr]

I remember that one! You did a great job.

[FrdmLvr]

Have you ever notice how frequently he’s in the news? A newscast doesn’t go by whether on the TV or radio that isn’t about 0bama. He’s in the paper every day. Presidents should not have this much presence in our lives.

[Vaduz]

Indeed Obama is Chauncey Gardiner in black it’s affirmative action on the move.Some things just don’t work out no matter how much you wish it so.

BOR cares for nothing but ratings. I’ll grant that he understands the broadcast business. But bottom line he’s a ratings whore.

That is why his weekly lineup includes Glenn Beck, Dennis Miller, Laura Ingraham, the Quiz, etc. Outside of his intro monologue, his personal convictions are, shall we say, flexible.

He’s a master of self-promotion, which is the common bond between him and GB. The difference is GB is indeed educating the public. BOR is simply trying to occupy their time and accumulate $$$$.

JMHO.
