PRUDEN: When Obama mails it in
The Washington Times ^ | 26 July 2013 | Wes Pruden

Barack Obama is bored. You can see it in his demeanor and in his face, the way anticipation becomes melancholy. Most of all you can hear it in his voice when he steps up to make the speech that once sent audiences into frenzy. He’s mailing it in (with postage due).

Being a messiah, a rock star, the Pied Piper of Hamelin, is of course hard work. Maybe we should cut the guy a break. You can’t be Mick Jagger or Kanye West every day.

The president went to Illinois this week to make a speech about the economy and jobs that the White House hyped as something to remind everyone of William Jennings Bryan (“Cross of Gold”) or at least Winston Churchill (“we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills”). What everyone got was a speech to put Michelle to sleep. The president himself seemed to be dozing between the words 10 minutes into the speech.

No worries, however, as the Media, on cue, praises it as the greatest speech of all time.

Obama: Reporters tell me my ideas are 'great'

Warning: Better down a stiff jolt of whiskey before reading!

“Hillary’s poll numbers in California yesterday were truly shocking — she polled 65% and a couple of Republican names in the low 40s or 30s. I am very afraid you are right. Twelve or sixteen years of communism will completely doom us.”

You don’t have to be a fortune teller, you only have to be objective. The media has dropped any pretense of objectivity. They will push hard for Hillary. The public has degenerated into a stupid, uninterested mass much faster than I would have ever imagined. And the GOP... well, you know.

3 years is a lifetime in politics, but as it stands now, in spite of Benghazi, her overall terrible record, and her lies, Hillary is the prohibitive favorite.

This is a two-speed president.

That is usually spelled Cocaine.
