That is profoundly true. I’ve worked around lots of liberals for many years and was constantly amazed at how easily they ignore reality. Its also a reason why you simply cannot reason with them. They never step outside their ideological fantasy world.
Because Josh Earnest is standing in the White House with the White House logo behind him, and because he holds the title of Press Secretary and says ‘the president believes X and the president says Y and the president did Z,’ it’s easy to be deceived into believing that Josh Earnest actually is speaking for the president and expressing the president’s views.
But the evidence to the contrary is overwhelming, starting with the president himself. Whatever you think of Obama, and Lord knows we don’t think much, it is well-documented that his workdays are laughably short. Even his admirers, courtiers, et al admit that 10:30 is an early start for Obama and that they have difficulty in distracting him from ESPN and televised sporting events to discuss crucial matters. His frequent trips away from the Oval Office for fundraising and golf with some brief speechmaking to justify the use of Air Force One are also a matter of record.
As many have observed, Obama wanted the office but not the job.
Also well-known is the plight of Earnest’s predecessor, Jay Carney. Carney trotted out his fatuous deadpan pronouncements every day but it was common knowledge that he was shut out of virtually all important discussions, strategy sessions, etc. because he was not a member of the Chicago-heavy Inner Circle.
Carney was hand-picked. Earnest is simply an understudy, brought in to take the show to the merciful closing date.
It is, therefore, a virtual certainty that Josh Earnest is simply expressing his own point of view under the rubric of officialdom. He and the press have a symbiotic relationship that is of no real benefit in terms of new information or practical result to anyone else anywhere in the world. The briefings are a hollow, repetitive pantomime; a taxpayer-funded MSNBC rant session at the ideological target du jour (Trump, guns, Trump, guns, Trump, guns etc. etc.)
This is not governance. This is not even party politics vis-a-vis electoral advancement (as the Democrats’ ongoing implosion demonstrates). This is simply the airing of grievances and reinforcement of grudges by mouthpieces who hope you don’t notice (and most haven’t) that in 7+ years of moaning about the same things their boss has done absolutely naff all to correct or address them.
Like all liberals, they refuse to consider basic human behavior and continue trying to force that behavior into their agenda.
One more time, Josh, it’s called self defense.
Just remember, they want us disarmed so there is no threat to their power, because ultimately all power comes from the barrel of a gun, and the will to use it...
A Muslim born in Kenya & raised in Indonesia & educated at a Madrassa NEVER understood the simplest things about Americans.
Now—they are all shocked!!!!

What kind of shock therapy will this latest press yammerer need when Obama is gone???
