Death of the Obama Dream
Washington Examiner ^ | 3/25/2009 | Noemie Emery

Well, that was fast.

On March 20, only two months after the cosmic anointing, Vanity Fair, of all people, unloaded on Barack Obama, in the terms it had reserved for the past four or five years for the likes of George W. Bush.

Well, not the whole magazine, but one of its writers, media writer Michael Wolff, took an axe to the president, in a posting beginning “Sheesh, the guy is Jimmy Carter,” ending “This guy is leaden and this show is in trouble,” and titled “Barack Obama is a Terrible Bore.”

...”media writer Michael Wolff, took an axe to the president, in a posting beginning “Sheesh, the guy is Jimmy Carter,”

“Mister Wolff, President Carter just called to complain...”

It’s funny, whatever FDR did/didn’t do perfectly—his first 100 days were dynamic-people’s confidence returned, his Fireside Chats on the radio were huge successes that they still hold up today as examples of masterful political communication, the stock market went up during that time. People’s spirits were renewed—and the media commented on how zestful, cheerful and unflappable the new President was.

That was how a 51 year old cripple in a wheelchair, and wearing leg braces, who inherited the biggest economic crisis in American history did things. He even smoked cigarettes while he did it. Unfiltered ones

This guy has barely gone 60 days, lurching from ignorant to clueless to classless and back again-and he’s already moaning how hard things are—after telling us over and over a year ago he was the man we needed-whose time had come....

Peggy, you're nothing to me now. You're not a sister, you're not a friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see you on television, or read what you write. I don't want you near any conservative conferences. When you see my friends, I want to know a day in advance, so I won't be there. You understand?

LOL - Nice!
