As Election Day approaches, President Obama is sharing a few important things about himself. He has mentioned more than once in recent weeks that he cooks “a really mean chili.” He has impressive musical pitch, he told an Iowa audience. He is “a surprisingly good pool player,” he informed an interviewer — not to mention (though he does) a doodler of unusual skill.

It's rather long, but worth reading. Not only does he make great chili, etc. but he reads children stories with remarkable skill, plays cards with ferocity, always comes to meetings prepared, etc., etc., etc.
2 months from election day and the "paper of record" is still publishing juvenile mash notes to Obama.
Not a word on policy (other than that's he's the best at it) or the economy (really, not one word on that, OMERTA).
3 pages of this fluff.
Oh well, our president is the best, and if you doubt that just ask him, or ask his fans in the MSM.
Dayum...
No wonder his chair is empty.
Chair ain’t the only thing EMPTY! ! ! ! !
If Pravda had written this about Stalin, Stalin would have been embarrassed.
The New York Times is LITERALLY worse than Pravda. In fact, from this day forward, they shall be known as the New York Pravda.
Token skills, token President.
I have no doubt the Community Organizer is a dirty, elbow throwing player on the court. No doubt at all.
Last year, he got cracked in the mouth by one of his staffers (who probably had had enough of being fouled time and time again - and who was gonna call him on it?)
I wager the stitched lip was nothing compared to the pain his precious ego endured.
Just ask him - he'll tell you.

Jodi Kantor's “The Obamas,” Book Review : The New Yorker
Yes, it’s incredible, isn’t it?
Powerline had it as “President Obama is Awesome” and that about sums it up.
Awesome at cooking, reading, playing golf, playing cards, singing, playing basketball (actually they didn’t talk about that, but we know he is awesome at that); awesome at everything except DOING HIS JOB.
You know, the Times still has some good stuff in it. I’ve read a couple of articles posted here lately that have been interesting and well written. I found a great little map thing-y when I wanted to look up the 2010 election results, really it was excellent, I don’t think it could be improved upon.
And then there is nonsense like this article.
If they ever even challenged him AT ALL, if they had looked into his past with 1/2 the zeal they devoted to Bristol Palin I could take this as a nice little feature piece. But this IS the reporting that is done on Obama, it has never gotten beyond “gosh he’s awesome”. It is a complete dereliction of their duty to the American public.
This is from the New York Times?
I would have guessed Tiger Beat.
Practiced Bowling so he could win. A version of Nero fiddled while Rome burned. To our President, gas prices and food prices can rise, salaries can tank, citizens can go jobless, but the really important thing is that he spend HIS time practicing bowling. If any other President was this vain and stupid, it would be treated as being inept, but when it is Obama, the NYT finds it to be a great quality. You just can’t make this stuff up!
It is one thing to compete, and an entirely different thing to have a winning strategy.
When there is little public record of past accomplishments (or failures), it is rather easy to project a positive image, or at least one favorable to the person. But the past four years have been a pretty public display, and what had seemed to be a “likable” personality turned out to be shallow, doctrinaire, petty and often arrogant besides.
I am sure that Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre seemed to urbane, witty and bright when he first appeared on the national scene as the French Revolution was gaining momentum.
And he was, or so appeared to be. He became a member of the Jacobin Club, an early-day version of “community organizers” dedicated to establishing “Rights of Man”. The “likable” side quickly disappeared, though, when he felt compelled to institute the Reign of Terror, during which time young Robespierre became a bloodthirsty tyrant, unwilling to consider the least controversey to his policy of “purifying” the Revolution.
Robespierre himself finally fell victim to the very apparatus he had instituted to rid France of all dissent, the summary execution of declared outlaws within 24 hours of capture and detention, by decapitation. The guillotine had been set up in the public square, where it was a very effective instrument for silencing opposition and encouraging compliance.
Throwing people under the bus seems almost merciful in comparison. But we know where this is headed.
Remember when Time Magazine included that in a piece on Obama? They thought it was real - but, can you blame them?
Let’s show him how great he is by throwing him out of office in November.
Time Magazine? That sounds familiar, but I can’t quite place it. It’s about watches and clocks, right?
I would bet that anyone in th world could spot a New York Times reporter just by the borwn on their nose.
How does it smell up there Jodi, Is it hard to breathe?

The Narcissist in Chief will tell all and sundry how he virtually walks on water.
Maybe they ought to interview him with some really hard questions from say, a hard-hitting journal like "Vanity Fair" or "Glamour".
Ask him really tough presidential questions like:
What's your favorite color?
If you had a superpower, what would it be?
What are your favorite workout songs?
Red or Green chili?
Those above questions were in fact the only questions that lame-ass Obozo answered after avoiding the White House Press Corps for 8 weeks.
His handlers planted softball questions on Reddit, that he answered.
No Policy Questions
No Economics Questions
Not a single serious question
Now the New York Times is slowly turning into "Tiger Beat" with teen-idol coverage of the Nitwit-In-Chief.
This is beyond ridiculous!
Did it ever occur to the clown writer that the others may have known what is good for them and let Obama win at bowling.
