Who Shrank the President?
American Thinker ^ | 4/2/2012 | Monty Pelerin

Posted on 04/02/2012 7:50:44 AM PDT by WPaCon

President Obama has had lots of bad weeks in his tenure. None has been as bad as last week.

Charles Hurt discussed Obama's week:

So, in one week, Mr. Obama got caught whispering promises to our enemy, incited a race war, raised serious questions about his understanding of the Constitution, and then got smacked down over his proposed budget that was so wildly reckless that even Democrats in Congress could not support it.

It was as if you lumped Hurricane Katrina and the Abu Ghraib abuses into one week for George W. Bush. And added on top of that the time he oddly groped German Chancellor Angela Merkel and got caught cursing on a hot mic.

Even then, it wouldn't be as bad as Mr. Obama's week. You would probably also have to toss in the time Mr. Bush's father threw up into the lap of Japan's prime minister. Only then might we be approaching how bad a week it was for Mr. Obama.

Not that you will see any trace of embarrassment in the face of Mr. Obama. He has mastered the high political art of shamelessness, wearing it smugly and cockily. Kind of like a hoodie.

Uh, where the hell have they been? Some of us have been saying for years that Obama is not just your ordinary Jimmy Carter nincompoop; he’s an operative for the forces aligned against the America that we love.

Won’t faze his reelectability in the slightest with the 49% who pay no income tax and/or are members of the entitlement community or are Holder’s people.

Sorry, but that’s a fact. Too bad for this nation meaning those who think themselves citizens of a nation.

“Won’t faze his reelectability in the slightest with the 49% who pay no income tax and/or are members of the entitlement community or are Holder’s people.”

It would cost him a few percentage points if the media covered him in a way that could even loosely be considered fair.

If the media covered Obama the way they covered GWB, last week would have cost him 10 points.

FROM THE ARTICLE: Peggy Noonan described the goodwill that Obama came into office with. According to Ms. Noonan, that goodwill is ebbing away: "Something's happening to President Obama's relationship with those who are inclined not to like his policies. They are now inclined not to like him."

Ah yes, there's our gauzy, empty-headed Ms. Noonan just coming to a realization four years too late. We are not just now "inclined to not like him." We haven't liked him from the start, because we saw what Obama was way back when he first announced his candidacy.

FROM THE ARTICLE: Obama was little different from a Hollywood façade that could serve any purpose.

Like...duh! Actually, Obama wasn't totally a blank slate. After all, in one of his books Obama said straight out that he is a Marxist. So of course he simpered and groveled to the Russians asking for "space" until he is reelected. Why would anything think Obama would behave differently?

Just want to add a comment about this falsehood from the article, but repeated incessantly about Obama:

Obama was attractive, charming, articulate (at least while on teleprompter), commanding, and charismatic.

Obama is not, and never was, attractive, charming, articulate, commanding or charismatic. Obama is, indeed, like a façade on a Hollywood back lot, just a false front created by whoever financed his rapid political rise.

It was as if you lumped Hurricane Katrina and the Abu Ghraib abuses into one week for George W. Bush.

This is ridiculous. Go anywhere in America and say to any moron on the street "Katrina" and they will respond Bush=Bad. Say "Abu Ghraib" and they will respond Bush=Bad.

How many outside the informed conservative news circuit have any idea that Obama has made any of last week's fails? People are getting a sense that Obama is a failure based on long term economic malaise, but comparing last week to 2 of Bush's troubles combined is just ludicrous. If Obama were a republican there would be riots on the streets and marches on Washington because every single day the news media would be running sob stories on the unemployed and the people who can't afford the gas to go to work.

And his voters LOVED him for every bit of it.

He was and still is a small man.

I am ever less convinced that psychologically he is any sort of man at all, at least in the masculine sense.

Even though many have know that he was a total fraud from the start, we can’t repeat that fact too often. Most people just go about their lives and don’t care about politics. The msm is always twisting the truth to make him look good. I think he is just a front man for the people behind him who actually run the show. He never really seems to even know what they are doing. The America as we know it is rapidly disappearing. If he wins again, the America as we know it is simply gone.
