Tom Junod is a northeast liberal ... he drank the cool aid early on, like many in that part of the world. Consider the source.
Tom Junod can’t quite get his head around the fact that Obama is just an actor reading his lines. The magic is gone because everyone now realizes it is just an act. That sweet sounding rhetoric is really just a script that someone more talented wrote for him.
He’s a lot like the purchase of a car from a used car lot.
Some pass him/the car up right away because you can tell there are problems.
Others are very interested and end up beggaring themselves to buy him/the car and then find out too late that they bought a lemon.
Buyers remorse for sure, but you are still stuck with a lemon.
Unfortunately there were too many desperate fools out there that decided to buy into him/the car, and now we are stuck....well for another two years anyway.
Whatever.
He never had the inner consciousness of leadership, of patriotism, of love and concern for this country and therefore, his true spirit was bound to surface at some point. Thankfully for us, the deception was revealed sooner rather than later.
I am a professional writer, and my credits include working on speeches that have been delivered by major figures at nationally-televised GOP conventions. I am not disillusioned by Obama because I never fell for the illusions about him to begin with. It was obvious to me from day one that he was an empty suit who was being elevated far beyond his capabilities thanks to the Dems’ liberal racial guilt (they wanted to pat themselves on the back for backing a black guy and showing how progressive they were) and their perpetual confusion of oratory with accomplishment (Mario Cuomo, anyone?)
As a writer myself, I always saw his speeches for what they were: giant edifices of verbal cotton candy, spun out of nothing. Try to take a bite out of them, and they dissolve away because they were all air and no content. If you were actually impressed by a line like “we are the people we have been waiting for,” then it’s a sure bet your I.Q. is lower than you think it is and might possibly be smaller than your hat size.
And now he is groveling....HA HA HA....zero is finished...
What are these people smoking? Bambi was NEVER “eloquent.” He droned out tired left-wing cliches in a whining, hectoring voice and only woke up occasionally when it was all about him and he could vent a little spleen. But the press loved it.
He was obviously always ignorant as the day is long, not quick on his feet mentally, stammered and was given to strange facial expressions - but the press had an idee fixee in their mind, the black leftwing anti-American savior who would carry them out of thralldom to morality and common sense, and that was what they colored everything they saw or heard.
FTA:
“But Barack Obama — President Obama — can still be great, even if he has to sing someone else’s song.”
DUH!!! He’s been singing to “someone else’s song” all along.
Although for very different reasons, I'll bet Kayne West isn't the only one who is “feelin’ “ Bush about now
There is no mystery and Clinton is not a sociopath.
Both Clinton and Obama, are like many tyrants celebrated as very popular demagogues from Nimrod to Peisistratus, from Mussolini to Hitler, from Stalin to Mao: all psychopaths.
Here's the take, Adapted from WiseGEEK:
What is the Difference Between a Psychopath and a Sociopath?Obama is clearly a psychopath! But unlike Clinton Obama seems also to be a high functioning schizophrenic. That makes him far more dangerous.The sociopath is unorganized in his demeanor, nervous and easily agitated – likely living on the fringes of society, without solid or consistent economic support. A sociopath is likely to spontaneously act out in inappropriate ways without thinking through the consequences.
The psychopath tends to be extremely organized, secretive and manipulative. The outer personality is often charismatic and charming, hiding the real person beneath. Though psychopaths do not feel for others, they can mimic behaviors that make them appear normal. Upon meeting, one would have more of a tendency to trust a psychopath than a sociopath.
Because of the organized personality of the psychopath, he is better educated than the sociopath. The sociopath lacks the attentive skills to excel in school.
Psychopaths fly under the radar of society, many maintaining families and steady work. Whereas a sociopath lacks the skills and drive for mimicking normal behavior, making “seemingly healthy” relationships and a stable home less likely.
From a criminal standpoint, a sociopath’s crimes are typically disorganized and spontaneous and makes them easy to catch.
The psychopath’s crimes are well planned out making psychopaths hard to catch.
