Yet another MSM puff piece on President Obama.

It's rather long, but worth reading. Not only does he make great chili, etc. but he reads children stories with remarkable skill, plays cards with ferocity, always comes to meetings prepared, etc., etc., etc.

2 months from election day and the "paper of record" is still publishing juvenile mash notes to Obama.

Not a word on policy (other than that's he's the best at it) or the economy (really, not one word on that, OMERTA).

3 pages of this fluff.

Oh well, our president is the best, and if you doubt that just ask him, or ask his fans in the MSM.

Good Lord.

If Pravda had written this about Stalin, Stalin would have been embarrassed.

The New York Times is LITERALLY worse than Pravda. In fact, from this day forward, they shall be known as the New York Pravda.

"As Election Day approaches, President Obama is sharing a few important things about himself. He has mentioned more than once in recent weeks that he cooks “a really mean chili.” He has impressive musical pitch, he told an Iowa audience. He is “a surprisingly good pool player,” he informed an interviewer — not to mention (though he does) a doodler of unusual skill.?"

Token skills, token President.

What BS.

I have no doubt the Community Organizer is a dirty, elbow throwing player on the court. No doubt at all.

Last year, he got cracked in the mouth by one of his staffers (who probably had had enough of being fouled time and time again - and who was gonna call him on it?)

I wager the stitched lip was nothing compared to the pain his precious ego endured.

Just looked up the author, Jodi Kantor. She writes nothing but fawning pieces about the Obamas'.

This is from the New York Times?

I would have guessed Tiger Beat.

Practiced Bowling so he could win. A version of Nero fiddled while Rome burned. To our President, gas prices and food prices can rise, salaries can tank, citizens can go jobless, but the really important thing is that he spend HIS time practicing bowling. If any other President was this vain and stupid, it would be treated as being inept, but when it is Obama, the NYT finds it to be a great quality. You just can’t make this stuff up!

It is one thing to compete, and an entirely different thing to have a winning strategy.

When there is little public record of past accomplishments (or failures), it is rather easy to project a positive image, or at least one favorable to the person. But the past four years have been a pretty public display, and what had seemed to be a “likable” personality turned out to be shallow, doctrinaire, petty and often arrogant besides.

I am sure that Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre seemed to urbane, witty and bright when he first appeared on the national scene as the French Revolution was gaining momentum.

And he was, or so appeared to be. He became a member of the Jacobin Club, an early-day version of “community organizers” dedicated to establishing “Rights of Man”. The “likable” side quickly disappeared, though, when he felt compelled to institute the Reign of Terror, during which time young Robespierre became a bloodthirsty tyrant, unwilling to consider the least controversey to his policy of “purifying” the Revolution.

Robespierre himself finally fell victim to the very apparatus he had instituted to rid France of all dissent, the summary execution of declared outlaws within 24 hours of capture and detention, by decapitation. The guillotine had been set up in the public square, where it was a very effective instrument for silencing opposition and encouraging compliance.

Throwing people under the bus seems almost merciful in comparison. But we know where this is headed.

Who needs foreign policy, jobs, a sound currency if he can sing, play pool, make chili and even brew beer! WOW!

The Narcissist in Chief will tell all and sundry how he virtually walks on water.

Obama walks on water
Maybe they ought to interview him with some really hard questions from say, a hard-hitting journal like "Vanity Fair" or "Glamour".
Ask him really tough presidential questions like:
What's your favorite color?
If you had a superpower, what would it be?
What are your favorite workout songs?
Red or Green chili?

Those above questions were in fact the only questions that lame-ass Obozo answered after avoiding the White House Press Corps for 8 weeks.

His handlers planted softball questions on Reddit, that he answered.
No Policy Questions
No Economics Questions
Not a single serious question

Now the New York Times is slowly turning into "Tiger Beat" with teen-idol coverage of the Nitwit-In-Chief.

This is beyond ridiculous!

It’s even rumored he started at point guard while maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA at Columbia. All admired how hot his girlfriends were, too.

Title is inappropriately worded. Competitor implies campaigning on a level playing field. There is nothing fair or 'level' about what Obama does in his quest for power. His prior campaigns before the WH have always been to discredit, disqualify or just lie about his opponents, as he is doing now with Romeny. It is the only thing he and his untested, unproven and unsuccessful team know how to do.

Hmm, I read the article as poking fun at someone who constantly claims to be the best at everything and annoys everyone around him. Perhaps I am just projecting my own views of the insufferable narcissict. ;)

The Game For Carter is Tennis

Lakeland Ledger, July 11, 1977

Washington (AP) Sports enthusiasts may not be ready to rank tennis as the national pastime, but at the White House, it's The Game.

And while administration tennis buffs aren't comparing Jimmy Carter to Jimmy Connors, they say the President demonstrates the same kind of dogged competitiveness on the tennis court that he exhibited on the campaign trail. ...
