Some of us have been warning that it was not healthy for the U.S. media to have deified rather than questioned Obama, especially given that they tore apart Bush, ridiculed Palin, and caricatured Hillary. And now we can see the results of their two years of advocacy rather than scrutiny.
We are quite literally after two weeks teetering on an Obama implosion—and with no Dick Morris to bail him out—brought on by messianic delusions of grandeur, hubris, and a strange naivete that soaring rhetoric and a multiracial profile can add requisite cover to good old-fashioned Chicago politicking.
First, there were the sermons on ethics, belied by the appointments of tax dodgers, crass lobbyists, and wheeler-dealers like Richardson—with the relish of the Blago tapes still to come. (And why does Richardson/Daschle go, but not Geithner?).
... This is quite serious. I can't recall a similarly disastrous start in a half-century (far worse than Bill Clinton's initial slips). Obama immediately must lower the hope-and-change rhetoric, ignore Reid/Pelosi, drop the therapy, and accept the tragic view that the world abroad is not misunderstood but quite dangerous. And he must listen on foreign policy to his National Security Advisor, Billary, and Sec. of Defense. If he doesn't quit the messianic style and perpetual campaign mode, and begin humbly governing, then he will devolve into Carterism—angry that the once-fawning press betrayed him while we the people, due to our American malaise, are to blame.
Victor Davis Hanson is not impressed. (http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ZDA1MTkzYTc4NjA5MWQxOGNjMzU3YmZiYTJhZDQ5YTY=)
When it is all brought together like this it is quite shocking to see the abysmal start Uncle Zero has made.

for 0bama, it is all about power. He is a pretty bright dude. For all his problems early on, Clinton did pretty well in boxing in the Republicans and maintaining himself.
I think 0bama had a better press than Carter did the first while, but by the end of the first year, Carter was on the run. And he never recovered.
I give him a short while longer, then he will learn that if you live depend on folks too much, and you treat them too badly, then the revenge they can get will be intense.
Right now the press is in the position of an abused, enabling girlfriend. Which when she gathers her dignity together and her anger, can be the worst kind of whirlwind.
But the next four years are going to be horrible till they are over.

Uncle?
When I read Hanson's piece earlier today at NRO, it was like having cold water thrown in the face, seeing the tabulation of Obama's mistakes.
I think Hanson's right re: the impending meltdown. He's already reached the Peter Principle limit in his abilities. Apparently so have all his lackeys.
First impressions are important, something you'd think the empty suit from Chicago would understand.
But to have picked so many people with tax problems, to have made such blunders on the War on Terror -- which he now won't say for fear of offending "moderate" Muslims -- you know, the ones who remain silent while the Islamofascists kill and maim -- to have gone to that hostile media venue and berate America -- Obama is now a caricature of Jimmy Carter.
And soon he will be Jimmy Carter II.
What's going on now should NEVER be allowed to be forgotten by the Republicans and conservatives.
Never.
And they should constantly be reminding the country of this travesty.

He is actually astonishingly stupid. The new fuhrer may be street smart -- canny -- but he has shown time and time again he can't think for himself. He needs ghost writers for his books and eminence grice handlers for his decisions.
It is Soros, Ayers and Wright we are working against. The, uh, new fuhrer, uh, is just sending us, uh, messages he gets from his handlers.

He is actually astonishingly stupid.
Indeed. Astonishingly. And it's apparent that he's no clue what to do after his smooth words don't work.

He seems to be quite stunned when his Edicts are opposed.
You can almost see him in the back room saying "George -- they aren't agreeing! WHAT DO I DO NOW?"

"For top executives to award themselves these kinds of compensation packages in the midst of this economic crisis is not only bad taste -- it's bad strategy -- and I will not tolerate it as president," he said.
Who does this asshat think he is? He won't tolerate it?
LOL LOL LOL
We shall see.

Maybe it's one of Obama's new advisors he hired causing the meltdown..... Rarl Kove.

He won't tolerate it? Oh, please, Obama, get a grip!
I figured we'd see his pathological megalomania show itself in some even-more frightening ways once he took office, but this is not just pathetic, but outlandish.
He won't tolerate it?
News flash, Obama: Given the way you're going, if there's a country left in two years and then four, you and the Democrats, liberals and leftists are going to find out in unmistakable electoral ways that we, the people you loathe, will not tolerate you.
What arrogance from this know-nothing, anti-capitalist, anti-American empty suit from that cesspool called the Chicago Political Machine.
He won't tolerate it?
What a child, a socialist tantrum-throwing child!

Hell, he reached that point 20 years ago........but then community organizers don't have bosses to fire them or lock them into a level one notch above where they belong.

He has been hand led down the path to power by equally ruthless machine politicians that didn`t have the benefit of the race card to play.
O has made the mistake of believing the line of shit they have fed him along the way.
Now he is in an unprotected world of adults and like all small children he is scared and defensive.

I think you are sellling 0bama too short. Or his marionette handlers anyway. He may be a total tool, I am sure he is a total tool, but Soros isn't.
And Hitler was a tool too. Like 0bama he was a ruthless cold blooded tool, and he ran the place and anyone who made the mistake of asking questions paid for it.
And the true believers are still out there true believing. Lets not forget them either.
