Obama Losing It as ‘Press-titues’ Flee
Townhall.com ^ | June 19, 2014 | John Ransom

This is what it looks like when Obama loses it.

We’ve witnessed this before, but this time it’s a little different.

This time Obama’s the target of a coordinated attack by the mainstream media. The press-titutes, as my friend Shawn Mitchell happily calls them, are heaping scorn on the president in a way that previously was reserved only for conservative news outlets.

Obama's Presidency Is on the Ropes – Again- says NBC.com.

Obama’s Foreign Policy Approval Rating Falls to New Low- says Time.

Remember when foreign policy was Obama’s strong suit? Not anymore- says the Washington Post.

I don't actually remember when foreign policy was Obama’s strong suit.

I remember a time when the world expressed their anti-Americanism by embracing Obama--more about that in a second.

I also remember when Americans preferred disengagement to being a leader in the world-- that defeatist attitude taken by so-called libertarians, Democrats, and Know-Nothings that gulls the country into a false sense of security.

But it’s informative that the official Party line as prescribed by the WaPo is that Obama’s foreign policy is a failure…now.

I’m guessing previously-- when Hillary was in charge—foreign policy was just fine, with the guiding hand of a strong confident woman whose most impressive resume item was not staying home and baking cookies because, well, Bill was never home, was he?

Perhaps had he stayed home more, Hillary’s cooking would have kept the pounds off.

I like this concept of “press-titues.”

While Obama thought he owned the media, in truth he only rented them.

Because the media is now practicing their newest Obama narrative: Obama had great ideas, but he wasn’t a great manager.

“He may be winning the issues debate,” says Democrat pollster Peter Hart, who conducts polls jointly with a Republican for the Wall Street Journal and NBC, “but he’s losing the political debate, because they don’t see him as a leader.”

That’s because he’s not a leader.

Never has been.

He’s basked in the adulation that was given him by: 1) his skin color; and 2) his fleeting, now tedious, oratory skills.

He’s often a panderer. He’s always an opportunist.

Leader? Nope.

He isn’t even winning on the issues debate.

Getting past the fact that in 2010 he presided over one of the most lopsided mid-term defeats in history, his 2012 re-election tended to confirm only two things: 1) Obama’s still black; and 2) yes, he was going to raise taxes on all of us, no matter what he said to the contrary.

Obama has always been an expression of nothing more than the growing dissatisfaction with the governing elite worldwide.

That’s why the world embraced him.

As the most powerful country in the history of the world, America is bound to take some shots at a time when global agitation is growing with how we are governed worldwide.

The Tea Party, Occupy, the Arab Spring and yes, even Obama, are all expressions of deep dissatisfaction with the way we are ruled today.

The mistake that the world made was in thinking that Obama was an outsider, when in fact he’s the consummate insider. Everything he has done, everything he’s been given, has been because the insiders, like Warren Buffett, GE, Goldman Sachs, and their lackeys, the press-titutes, have allowed him these gifts.

And now they are about to take those gifts away and try to confer them on another insider of whom they approve: Romney, McCain, Clinton, Bush, someone, anyone, who will keep the game going.

They will never humiliate him completely because that would denigrate his one legitimate strength with insiders that they still need to use—his skin color.

But Obama’s getting an education about the difference between being a reigning Miss America and a former Miss America.

He’s losing it; he’s losing his title.

John, baby. You have this MSM half right. They fourth estaters are still in the fifth column. The sleeze on the Left are signaling. They are advertising their lack of ability to cover for their chosen one.

They get their talking points from the DNC or white house and realize, with their limited cognitive abilities, that the big O has got to come up with better talking points.

Remember when they showed the picture of that scrawny little man-woman in a swim suit and fawned over his pecs and biceps?

Shouldn’t there be a FIDDLE in that picture?

The media is beginning their hard pivot to a more Moderate Marxist to continue the agenda.

From my perspective America is waking up. Just about every time read a story involving politics or something somewhat related that irks conservatives they are just giving hell to the collectivists at every turn in the comments section.

The Dems, and the Left in general, are trying to put as much distance as they can between themselves and Obama.

He's served his purpose, he no longer needs to be re-elected, they can safely blame him for everything and throw him under the bus, in an effort to salvage their brand. They can say "It's not a Dem issue, that stupid monkey Obama screwed things up, the next Dem president will fix everything and make it all better.

They slowly change their love to scorn in the hopes that no one will notice the drastic change in bias.

No, they still love Obama. They are just changing the stage scenery and setting up for the Hillary run by de-emphasizing the Usurper and turning attention to the Pant-suited One.

There is social and political logic to support this prediction, but I think it will be out of their hands.

Regardless of the press' need to see themselves as the shapers of public opinion, they really are merely opportunistic followers.

I'm more inclined to believe that Proverbs 16:18 will have its way with obama's (and our?) future.

Re: “The MSM is just trying to restore some of its lost credibility.”

Agree.

They did the same thing with ObamaCare.

When the catastrophe became too big and too noisy to hide, they ripped on Obama for a couple weeks.

Then, silence.

Even the Republican Party barely mentions ObamaCare.
