Mister Cool and Detached
The American Thinker Blog ^ | February 16, 2010 | Geoffrey P. Hunt

Posted on 02/16/2010 3:29:05 AM PST by Scanian

Much has been made of President Obama's recent about-face on tax increases for the middle class. Obama says he is now "an agnostic." What this really means is that he has no conviction, no plan, and no blueprint, and he will increase taxes as long as somebody else tells him to do it.

Obama's admirers will point to his ambivalence as "cool and detached." "Deliberate and thoughtful" are like-minded badges describing a powerful intellect making an agonizing choice among equally unattractive alternatives. This has been Obama's style in dealing with Iran, terrorist captives, and economic recovery.

Don't be fooled. For this president, "cool and detached" means "clueless and bewildered."

“When a presumed charismatic leader like Obama displays a “cool and detached” look, read that body language for what it is: avidya and bumfuzzled. It means that this nation is leaderless.”

This description of a “leaderless” nation really nailed some of the problem that we are experiencing.

The description brought a vision of the Headless Horseman from the Legend of Sleepy Hollow to my mind -— whew, that STILL gives me the willies!

It is all making sense. The repubs go into a semi hibernation. Let the dems take the fall.

Then when this empty suit really tanks...I mean when everyone in criticizing him....close to 2011...all you know what will break loose...and it will be uncovered what a nothing president he’s been.

Then the birth certificate issue etc will come out.

I think for now, drop the birther thing... and let this guy and his band of thieves spin in the wind.

I’ve got a bottle of Dom chilling...for the day Reid and Pelosi are out of here....

Question is....who will be the next Reagan for us?
What is your thought...?

“cool (lazy) and detached (clueless).” “Deliberate (lucky) and thoughtful (how did that work)”
