It's Not Obama, It's You
NRO ^ | 1 Nov 2014 | Jonah Goldberg

Posted on 11/03/2014 6:45:40 AM PST by Rummyfan

Reader (unless you’re the kind of chickens**t who calls people “chickens**t” anonymously),

Obama fatigue is setting in. Indeed, I’ve gone from Obama fatigue through full-on Obama Epstein-Barr to end-stage Obama narcolepsy. I hear him talking, or hear some MSNBC-type rhapsodizing about how misunderstood he is, and I start dozing off like a truck driver who took the drowsy-formula Nyquil by mistake. “Gotta stay awake! This is my job!” But then 20 seconds later, Jonathan Alter starts telling me how misunderstood the president is, and suddenly orange traffic cones are bouncing off my truck’s grill as I somnolently drift into a highway work zone. You could fill a cereal bowl with broken glass and barbed-wire shards drenched in hot sauce right below my face. All it would take for me to use it as a pillow is a 30-second loop of Obama saying “Let me be clear.” His speeches are like whale sounds, but with less substance. I’d say they’re all white noise, but I don’t want to get called a racist.

This is a problem for a couple of reasons. First, as I said during that less-than-exquisite truck-driving simile, this is my job — or at least one of them (I don’t need to follow Obama’s doings for my side gig as chinchilla rancher). I can’t just tune out the president of the United States for the next two years like a normal, happy, well-adjusted American might. I can’t help but feel like Donald Sutherland in Animal House complaining to his bored literature students...

It's Not Obama, It's You

You're absolutely correct! I grew up in a Free Country expecting all citizens to be Patriotic and love America, to find their own way in life without government handouts and The Constitution to be the Law of the Land.

Now I find, that I was all wrong, thanks to "The One" - a foreign, muzzie, communist dictator - Caliph Hussein 0bama!

/SARCASM and Mega-Barf!

Yes but liberal progressive commies actually think whales are communicating with us by these sounds.

Obama’s “whale sounds” tricked people into believing he was intelligent, though.

Whales will communicate with humans, but usually by physical, brute force................

They weren’t until federal regulation forced the whales to communicate to us with these sounds. Think it was an EPA ruling.

They actually thought Obama was communicating intelligent concepts to them as well,

so the analogy holds.

Wow! I have always liked Jonah Goldberg, but I don't remember reading anything by him so sharp & witty. It felt like I was reading Mark Steyn. So many great lines and observations. Loved it!

The day before an election National review posts an article literally about nothing. What a waste.

Alinsky has long ago told us what is the best way to destroy a Liberal - ridicule. It is their Achilles heel. Liberals believe that they are superior to all others, and should be worshipped. To be mocked by a inferior life form is the greatest insult.

This is why all the comedians have refused to tell jokes about Obama. They understand that to tell a joke against a fellow liberal would be the greatest personal attach imaginable.

When a Liberal is mocked, they become unhinged. They strike out in anger and attack everyone. This is why the conservatives should begin to mock “Obola.” They should do this for the next two years. Without the Senate, Obola will be in a corner. He will not get his way. He will be frustrated. Being mocked while being frustrated will create the greatest spectacle witnessed in Dc in a long time.

As Obola implodes, the Democrats will start to see their futures go up in smoke. They too will get frustrated and become unhinged.

If the Republicans take the senate tomorrow, it could be a very interesting two years.

I'll agree with you in the fact that the 3rd page was unnecessary and a waste of time, however, the first two pages were amusing.

I particularly enjoyed this one:
Still, it would be more fun to see Obama go Bullworth on style, if for nothing else to see the New York Times headline: “Obama on Vulnerable Dem Candidates: ‘They All My Bitches.’”
