The Hip-Hop President: All Swag, No Cattle
Creators Syndicate ^ | September 14, 2012 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 09/13/2012 8:38:09 PM PDT by jazusamo

Wazzup, President Obama? You've got room on your schedule to schmooze hip-hop radio DJs, debate Nicki Minaj's rap lyrics, hobnob with big donor celebs Jay-Z and Beyonce, and hang with Hollywood gossip TV anchors. _

We see your passion on the golf course, basketball court and beach. We see you late night on Letterman and Leno. We see your boundless energy on the campaign trail. We see your Twitter donation solicitations from dusk till dawn.

But when it comes time to play leader of the free world in times of international crisis, it's "see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya." He's all swag, no cattle.

I know I'm not the only one who was flabbergasted by Obama's bloodless Rose Garden appearance following the planned two-part 9/11/12 jihadi attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens.

Late as usual, the president ambled up to the podium 15 minutes behind schedule on Wednesday morning. Teleprompter-less, he spent the majority of his fleeting five-and-a-half-minute appearance with eyes downcast on his script.

With a grim Secretary of State Hillary Clinton looking over his shoulder, Obama delivered a flat, obligatory tribute to the murdered Americans. And then he read these words, drained of any iota of outrage, as if reading a local weather forecast. Or a fifth-grade book report. Or a dinner menu:

"The United States condemns (pauses, looks down) in the strongest terms (pauses) this outrageous and shocking attack (monotone). We're working with the government of Libya to secure our diplomats. I've also directed my administration to increase our security at diplomatic posts around the world."

Michelle Malkin couldn't have said this any better, I'm so sick of hearing Obama say "make no mistake."

Bush was accused of swagger. Malkin updates the old saying perfectly.

Obama is rather banal. For those of you in Rio Linda that means - so lacking in originality as to be obvious and boring.

He's tall - advantage.

He has a baritone voice - advantage.

But that is it.

What makes him attractive to the 'progressives'?

The words that come out of his mouth tickles their ears.

And they have no idea that he truly does not care one whit about them.

I’m so sick of hearing Obama say “make no mistake.”

How about, “Let me be clear about this”? It is eerie; he is mimicking behavior he observed in his past.

He’s so busy running away from anything like work that he’s not even bothering to vote “present” anymore.

Isn't that the truth!

Right now the ME is going up in flames, several of our embassy's are under siege and Zer0 is campaigning in NV and CO, this turkey is a complete loser.
