Above all a newly crafted image of Obama is beginning to take shape – an empty, vacuous windbag, elevated to a position way above his experience or abilities by a claque of shifty snake oil salesmen and now spinning helplessly in the conflicting winds of gathering storms like a broken weather vane.

“...an empty, vacuous windbag, elevated to a position way above his experience or abilities by a claque of shifty snake oil salesmen and now spinning helplessly in the conflicting winds of gathering storms like a broken weather vane.”
Not only does the author have a positive gift for the use of the language, but truer words were never penned.
OZYMANDIAS
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
>, but truer words were never penned.

Seriously, its good to see writings that are lucid & clear, unlike what the government schools churn out these days.
Modern students - with exceptions, of course - write like they have been lobotomized.
Thank you for your post.
You are most cordially welcome....
Hear, hear!
Best description of Obama yet!
The writer, who, from his blogname, is obviously a reader of Dickens, presents a delightfully precise, cutting survey of the English media and Europe’s growing disillusion with Obamian excess.

How can I fit this on a bumper sticker? LOL
I still like “post turtle.”
“...an empty, vacuous windbag, elevated to a position way above his experience or abilities by a claque of shifty snake oil salesmen and now spinning helplessly in the conflicting winds of gathering storms like a broken weather vane.”

Maybe just VW for short!
