OK MSM, you can stop now, we’re past the puke stage.
Just STFU!

“A leader is a blank slate for the projection of all our hopes”

WTF?

A leader is someone who is given the reigns on the basis of prior accomplishments and expectations that he won’t screw up.

What is this “projection of all our hopes” and “blank slate”? He should already have a list on that slate of things he plans to accomplish. He should already have shared that list with us, debated how he would implement his ideas, and won in the arena of ideas.

Instead we have been sold a trendy ‘pet rock’. Nobody knows what it does. But everyone has the t-shirt.

I honestly cannot think of anything rational to say in reply.

This pathetic ego encrusted twit managed to hit nearly every hot button there is:
when the denouement comes, she won't even know what hit her.

A leader isn't a blank slate. A department store manikin is. If, in fact, that is what certain "cosmopolitan" poseurs find attractive in a candidate it is because it is most likely to result in their own reflection beaming back at them.

Hence the attraction for Obama. It is, to be sure, no deeper than the reflection on a mirror but it is infinitely malleable. And look! Right there! It's One Of Us! A mirror will do that to infants and pets. The rest of us know better.

...yada, yada, yada...to me he represents a phony, a fraud, someone who wants the big prize without ever having put in his dues other than to play the affirmative action card over and over and over again.

It is statistically improbable that a person can skate all the way through life, especially public life as President of the United States, without convictions, experience or grounding and not come up against a day of reckoning. Ceasar, Napolean, Hitler...they all had theirs though they seemed adored and untouchable for the longest time.

I’ve seen this play before...it always ends badly...just watch.

What Noonan laments, I celebrate. I was attracted to candidate Obama in part because of, not despite, his dislocated background. I identified with it. It meant sympathy for my own stints living abroad and my habit of roving around the world for work, education and pleasure

Its rootless douches like you who are ruining once charming places like New York City (Mallhattan) and Santa Fe (now Santa Fake). For all your talk of being cosmopolitan, you yuppie excrement bring all the blandness of white bread suburban culture with a hypocritically latte leftist worldview, despite the fact that you would be the first folks to get shot in a real revolution.
