We are witnessing an astounding performance by The One now on TV. Obama just gave a content-free "economic address" in which he announced that he is "appointing good people to his team" and then naming two.
The real news is that this is being followed by a Twilight Zone press conference in which he has pre-chosen friendly reporters and is calling upon them while refusing to ask for questions from any other reporters present. I have never seen such a shabby performance by a president-elect. He is using the pre-chosen "reporters" (with, presumably, pre-arranged questions) to trumpet his ideas and plans without fear of being challenged.
With the drooling lapdog press in his doggie basket, The One clearly plans to avoid taking any questions for the next four years. I guess Obama's "Fairness Doctrine" means no nasty questions.
Overall, Obama is running on and on about how he is going to solve our economic problems through "new ideas," "rejecting politics," and "working in a bipartisan manner" (which clearly does not involve being actually questioned by reporters).
I would be optimistic if I believed that the majority of justices had any interest in the Constitution.
That’s astonishing, his narcissism is limitless!
There have been too many fake medallions for this to have been a mistake. Either Obama has a perverse medal fixation, like some tin-pot dictator, or Axelrod does --which is even more frightening, because it would prove that Axelrod is still running the content-free Obama show.
I agree with you 100%!!! This “man” is an absolute moron. Every morning Axelrod wakes him up, pours his cereal and has the Secret Service take him to the gym. When he gets back he’s told to go play and let the grown-ups work. When he whines that he’s bored they send him out for sandwiches and pie with the strict instructions: “For God’s sake DON’T TALK TO ANYONE!”. Axelrod and company must be petrified that President-Elect Dumb-O will run into another Joe the Plumber.
I'm sure when Obama went over his Marxist goals and plans to elite i.e. not quite as nutty, Clintonoid members of the Dem Party, they all had a good laugh and told him to cram them down the nearest garbage receptacle.
Obama is a total naif as regards free-market economics. The damage he'll do in the next four years will take decades to overcome.
One reason: So he won’t be asked questions about his birth certificate.
Exactly.
Won’t happen. This moron will never be assailed by any element of the Drive-Bys. They elected this stooge and they’ll be damned if they’re going to allow him to fail or have to answer a difficult question. He’s a multiracial a**hole, but he’s THEIR multiracial a**hole, and they will protect him from any criticism. You know it, and I know it. When he f***ks up in the first four years it will be Bush’s fault. I’d even expect this to continue through his second term as well. After all, how could even a Messiah, a Chosen One be capable of undoing the mess he was handed. No, it will take the DemonRats decades of power to enslave us.
I predict that Obama, if he actually makes it into the White House, will break mentally when TS really starts hitting TF. He’ll have to be medicated, and his handlers will take over completely.
That’s why he’s hired all old DC hands, who can run things without any input from him. He’s scared - I see it in his face - he’s bitten off more than he can chew or digest. He’s nothing, he’s a fake empty suit, his life is fake, he’s being manipulated by others more powerful than he. And since his handlers know his lies, they can have total control over him. Blackmail isn’t even the word for it, it’s total.
He’s not just a regular “liberal”. He’s a Trojan horse.
I, too, was contemplating when the bulk of the mainstream press will get their backs up for being sidelined while the Larry King type boot-lickers get to ask all the pre-approved questions.
Eventually it will gall them to be ignored and they will start to turn. But there was a pattern that I observed during Clinton's terms. The press would get worked up a bit and start to really go after a story. Just when the momentum of the story would start to have an effect on Clinton the press would catch themselves in alarm at what they were doing and immediately draw away from the story.
We'll probably see the same pattern with Obama. As soon as someone at a Manhattan, Georgetown, SF cocktail party says to a reporter "What are you doing to the One?" they will shrink in horror from what they have let themselves become and will immediately turn into docile lapdogs again.
This fast tracker has no clue what to do.
Correct. He is being managed by the big money that elected him.
I’m sure some of that veneer will be stripped away the next time he hosts the British PM and the joint press conference includes members of the more tenacious foreign media. At least I can dream.
