Obama echoing Gordon Brown? (Nicholas Kristof at the NYTimes!!!)
NY Times ^ | 11/3/2009 | Nicholas Kristof

Posted on 11/04/2009 3:44:21 AM PST by SonOfDarkSkies

We’re seeing a measure of disenchantment with Barack Obama, even among Democrats. Today the Times has a piece about that sentiment in Iowa, the New York Review of Books has a Gary Wills piece that is admiring but suggests that he become a one-term president, and environmentalists have a full-page ad in the NYT today decrying his interior department’s decision to allow a wolf kill. You see the same thing in the poll numbers and hear it in water cooler conversations.

But see this story too. Someone at the DNC fax machine got their wires crossed.

Cheers!

What do you think?

I think Kristof exults form over substance. I do not give a damn about Obama's demeanor, I am impressed that he is the most radical, un-American, extremist president in American history.

In the wake of this election the media debate endlessly whether the Republican Party is so extreme that it is driving out the moderates when they overlook a communist in the White House.

In a companion thread, CNN debates whether the election is a repudiation of Obama himself. I have been saying since before the 2008 election that Obama must be morally destroyed or he will continue to win elections. Not surprisingly both CNN and Mr. Kristof create a parallel universe in which the people are never permitted to consider whether Barack Obama is in fact a Manchurian Marxist. We are admitted only to debate whether he is too "cerebral."

Mr. Kristof, Barack Obama is not "cerebral" he is a reflexive ideologue who substitutes Marxist ideology for common sense and serves it up to the people with a sociopath's instinct for the phrase.

For the good of the proletariat, the New York Review of Books must put aside mere reviews of bourgeoise literature in order to better fight the enemies of the people. When the masses are no longer exploited by the fascist/capitalist enemies of the state and its embodiment in the person of our dear leader, then the New York Review of Books can return to the peaceful pursuit of enlightening the working class through ideologically pure examination of progressive writing.

Beautiful use of their own language for the purpose of satire. So funny because it is so true.

It was blatantly obvious he would be a one termer, if he won the general election. If you are just realizing there is nothing under this guys coat, you are blind as a bat.

Frankly if we actually had a functioning legislature instead of the laughing stock that is the Reid/Pelosi step and fetch show, he’d have an impeachment indictment against him already.

Keep in mind that this article is by Nicholas Kristof of the NY Times...it wasn't blatantly obvious to these nuts that he would be a one-termer.

They weren't just blind, they were delusional.
