What I want to know is, how did Hans Christian Andersen know about Barack Obama more than a century ago? Because Obama is straight out of Andersen's classic fairly tale, The Emperor's New Clothes. Old Hans Christian, who lived in Denmark from 1805 to 1875, had Obama's number down pat. All he needed was a good grasp of human nature.
Nothing has changed. Pretentious frauds still parade down the boulevards of Copenhagen and Washington, D.C., and only little kids notice their nakedness. Nobody dares to snicker, for fear of being called a bad name. (You know the bad name everybody is afraid of being called today.)
But there's no there there. Not a single, solitary rag of clothing. Barack Obama has the least amount of relevant experience of any major party candidate in the last hundred years. He just makes it up as he goes along, with sublime arrogance. If he wanted to be interviewed for President of General Electric they wouldn't give him the time of day; but President of the United States? No problem! Obama is a total stage prop, a media fiction, a complete unknown, a rolling stone.
The Emperor is seduced by his own grandiosity; whenever he blows another elementary fact about the world, his staff just gives him a quick heads-up to tell him what to say next. He's like a bad actor who flubs his lines every single time, just expecting the others to give him his cues. And the ink-stained wretches of the media always give him a pass. Their editors would give them hell if they said anything bad.
Just one little example. On May 19 Senator Obama proclaimed Iran to be just "a tiny country." That's a tiny country with seventy million people, half of it covered with mountains that you can tunnel under for your nuclear hidey holes. A half-million men in the army plus the fanatical martyrs of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, a domestic terror apparatus to keep the people down, a growing nuclear and missile program, enough oil to finance it all, a strategic position at the head and the tiny choke-point of the Persian Gulf, a long, long imperial tradition, and an Islamofascist suicide ideology, thanks to Jimmy Carter's good friend Ayatollah Khomeini. The regime of this tiny country had a habit of sending hundreds of young boys to blow up mine fields with their bodies, wearing green plastic "Keys to Paradise" around their necks. It controls the "Shiite Crescent" from Lebanon to the Gulf using its powerful alliance with Syria and Hezb'allah, supplied by our good friends the Russians and Chinese. The regime has a habit of blowing up American soldiers in Iraq with state-of-the-art shaped-charge explosives. Iran has performed high-altitude missile tests that could only be used to set off a nuclear EMP explosion, designed to cripple any modern nation by zapping its electrical and communication grids. It's just a "tiny threat," said Obama --- until his staff told him that wasn't quite right, and he quickly changed his tune.
If George W. Bush had ever been this blind, the media would have torn him into bloody shreds by now. We've seen them trying for eight years.
But the Emperor is protected from hard questions; when he blunders into them he just "uhs," "ahs," and stammers and stumbles. The media give him two or three guesses before he has to settle on his firm convictions -- for that day -- and then he flips again as soon as he feels like it.
This is sheer, open incompetence. Even Bill Clinton is saying it. He's right. Hell, half of the Democratic Party apparatus knows it. They aren't fooled. They're just hoping the rest of us stay fooled.
Obama's millions of immature O'bots are utterly self-deluded, but then they're not mental heavyweights anyway. The O'bots have their eyes shut tight, because looking at the reality of their idol is just too scary.
O'bots live in Hope and Hype; reality is not their strong suit. They just yearn to see His Imperial Majesty's royal crown, his purple robes, his golden sceptre, his bejeweled throne. But it's all self-hypnosis. Scratch the Obama thin veneer of hype for a second and it peels off before your very eyes.
Don't think the rest of the world doesn't know it. You can bet that Ahmadinejad and Vladimir Putin are getting complete reports from some very smart spies, including professional evaluations of Barack Obama and his madcap advisors. Dictators who live by destroying every possible threat are not in the business of getting those things wrong. As soon as they get the chance, they will push and push until the Obama mirage crumbles. That's what the Ayatollah Khomeini did to Jimmy Carter, and Jimmie is still trying to tell the world it never happened. It's what Khrushchev and Castro did to John F. Kennedy. It's what Kim Jong Il did to Bill Clinton and Madeleine Albright. Every Democrat president seems to attract the biggest bullies, because they can spot an easy mark a mile away.
Just imagine what Hans Christian Andersen could do with this fairy tale. Trouble is, this story will turn into a real nightmare -- as long as the news media cover up for the most unqualified candidate in history.
O-no
“We are the ones who we’ve been waiting for”
The democraps had a way of constantly saying that Cheney or Rove were really the masters at the White House...
We need to start making it known that if Obama is in the White House then NANCY PELOSI will be running the country.
It should be pointed out that B-HO doesn’t have the cajones to stand up to Harry and Namcy and call Congress back into session. If he really wanted to show leadership, he could do that.
But I think we all know that isn’t going to happen
Didn’t bubba refer to the obambi candidacy as a fairy tale?
I believe “the clothes have no emperor” is most appropriate for the emptiest of all suits- Mr. Obama.
FROM MARCH 2008:
Hillary Clinton, for example, told reporters on Monday, “I have a lifetime of experience I will bring to the White House. I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience he will bring to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he made in 2002.”
Nice work, but fix the “fairly” in the second sentence and white out some of the shopworn metaphors. Like the entire paragraph with the scepter and throne stuff.

I saw him making that statement last night on TV. Incredible! He is so arrogant and incredibly narcissistic.
You are right. Absolutely no gravitas (remember that term?)!! Barry, however, could solve this problem by selecting Dick Chehey for his Veep;).

Every socialist pacifist in their ilk will be The Savior’s brain trust. That truly is scary. Too many people still get their news from the MSM and an article like this never will be seen. That is the real horror of Obama. He is the darling of the media which controls perceptions.
That’s racist! You obviously fear his phallic symbol.
That brings back horrible memories.

If only that were true.
Nancy Pelosi doesn't even run her office bathroom.
The question of who will be running the country if Obama is elected is central to the next 100 days, it must be answered.
So Bill Clinton was right...Obama’s campaign IS a Fairy Tale!!!
