Chauncey was a very kind person.
Chauncey Gardiner and Obama couldn’t possibly be more dissimilar.
Original F.Gump !!!
Obama’s “green shoots” always reminded my of Chance’s “Yes! There will be growth in the spring!”
No. Everything worked for Chauncey. Nothing works for Obama.
He hypnotized the people by using neurolinguistic programming
“Good God! Barack Obama is Chauncey Gardiner!”

boym did you get a wrong #!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of my favorite older movies. Everyone thought every simple statement made by Chauncey was deeply, intuitively brilliant and about their issues.
My email to Kathleen:
Your brilliant reference to “Being There” is an extraordinary literary device for understanding the vacuity of the American electorate vis a vis their election of an absolute nobody to the Presidency. Thank you for this remarkable insight.
“I like to watch.”
The deep truth in “Being There” is that packaging is everything today.
You can’t see the truth. Especially in those days, before mass distribution of alternate ideas (internet), there is only what the media will show us. It is simple to project meaning onto puppets.
The powerful mass media, with money coming from where, exactly? Ah, yes... Well, they will still be either ignoring or ridiculing ANY opposition to their packaging.
The young Barack Obama must have looked like a plump and juicy little chicken to the wolves that got him where he is today. The vehicle they were searching for just HAD to be somewhat blackish, with perfect diction and a powerful ego, able to read platitudes under Doric columns with his chin in the air like Mussolini, and he’d have to be a believer of their cause. When he walked in, they must have drooled all over their black T-shirts.
Feeding his ego to get him where they wanted him, on the Inside, was too easy. The only wrinkle was his penchant for life on the DL, and though they had to do a lot to keep that quiet, no one seems to care. The MSM’s “ignore or mock” rule for any unpleasant news about Obama seems to still be working.
Chauncey just HAPPENED to be a nice guy. The process still works even if he’s not. Brilliant movie.
A conservative lawyer named William Baldwin Montfort (note my posting name) wins a ton of money and decides to run for House of Delegates, for something to do because he does not want to practice law, but does not want to become an idle alcoholic.
A talented campaign manager offers to run a campaign for a Congressional seat he appears to have no chance of winning.
Crooked manipulation on the part of a shadowy cabal occurs and the popular incumbent drops out because he believes he has a heart condition that MUST be treated immediately. Our inexperienced guy goes higher in politics than anyone could imagine.
no way.
Obama knows exactly what he is doing, or trying to do.
Obama seeks to bring slavery back to the USA. Except this time the non-dc crowd will be the slaves.
