The Left Wanted Barack Obama, and They Got Him — Warts and All

Et tu, Olbermann?

After Obama’s Oval Office address to the nation about the oil spill (which, as Ed Morrissey rightly points out, should have been on Day 1, not Day 57), Keith Olbermann and guests Chris “Tingle Me” Matthews and Howard Fineman couldn’t even find it within themselves to give their man the benefit of the doubt. As Olbermann said, “It was a great speech if you were on another planet for the last 57 days.” And Matthews opined, “I don’t sense executive command.”

Remember the Wendy’s commercial with the old woman shouting, “Where’s the beef?” Essentially, that’s what Olbermann, Matthews, and Fineman were asking — along with the rest of a puzzled nation.

I love the ‘where’s the beef’ reference...and wish I could photoshop.

“wish I could photoshop”

if you spent a few days searching up on it, you’d be photoshopping in a week

On the other side they were critical of him on Obama-care for a year and then they rallied behind him when he rammed it through, even though they hated it and still hate it.

Chris, Go tingle yourself.

And Stalin had Trotsky killed, Castro had Guevera killed, and the mob eventually came for Robespierre and sent him to the guillotine and so it goes. Pretty predictable, really.

They still don’t really know who the guy is, and it’s because they’d rather project their fantasies than view the reality. That explains why they don’t really know who we are, either.
