President Barack Obama is walking, talking, and acting like a conservative.
There’s daily footage of him as the devoted husband and doting dad. He speaks reverentially about the founders of the nation and the need to serve the country and each other. He wears his faith on his sleeve, even inviting famed Pastor Rick Warren to the inauguration to ask for God’s blessing.
But the conservative symbols and imagery stand in stark contrast to the left-of-center agenda emerging from his administration: executive orders that weaken America’s national security and safety, taxpayer funding of abortions, three-quarters of a billion dollars in pork included in the bailout bill, etc.
We’ve seen presidential liberalism in action before. But what’s different this time around is that Obama is in a better position to move the country to far-left regions than were any of his predecessors.
It’s a given that whoever sits in the Oval Office is a bona-fide celebrity. It’s always been that way. But Obama’s star power rises to a level that his predecessors could only have dreamed of.
The media helped move the needle up on Obama’s fame meter with embarrassing, one-sided, royalty-like coverage during the campaign season. The needle continues to be pushed further thanks to the minute-by-minute gushing on the part of news and entertainment venues.
Additional factors contribute to Obama’s celebrity cachet, including good looks, confidence, and a take-charge attitude. He’s the hottest celebrity on the planet, affirmed by the number of magazine covers his face adorns, with People and US Weekly leading the pack. And “Entertainment Tonight,” “Extra,” and “Access Hollywood” just can’t seem to get their fill of the Barackstar. Obamamania shows no sign of diminishing.

When Obama farts it smells like roses.
That is one of the most insane statements I have ever read.
Maybe he’s really a DINO or even a LINO!!!??
Thank you slimeball Rick Warren phony pastor for giving O a little legitimacy. I guess Oprah promised to pimp Rick’s next book.
Lots of miracle grow for that “rich” smell.
No ‘clout’ demonstrated so far, just EO’s.
I think it's really, really past time that we figure out what the definition of "conservative" is these days.
Yeah. Aside from that whole soft-on-terrorism, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual stuff.
These folks are crazy.
Guy says he's going to hand out light fluffy chocolate candy to children with the right hand, but he's walking along killing babies with the left.
No chance. O is a self-described Marxist. It's just that, since he got the I-wanna-be-prez bug, he hasn't been very honest about it.
“Rome is the mob and the mob is Rome.”
Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before a fall.

“The media helped move the needle up on Obama’s fame meter with embarrassing, one-sided, royalty-like coverage during the campaign season”.....
The sheep watch the nightly news and believe that what Katie Couric barfs out must be true or why would she say it?....People have given up thinking for themselves and they are going to get the disastrous with full blown socialism.
Just wait, it’s still early - reality hasn’t set in yet. When the sheeple finally realize they’ve been sold a bill of goods, his cult of personality is going to take some serious blows.
Oh, the press will still be grabbing his thighs with both hands and kissing his ass, and liberal wingnuts will still proclaim him Lord and Master and Messiah, but as time goes on, they will have fewer and fewer people who will agree with them.
