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.

Obama will send out The Men In Pink and their leader Ben Dover to reeducate these fools

Supposedly Maliki doesn’t play well with the opposition, maybe even ignores the Iraq constitution.

Hmmmmm - - - -?

The same thing has been proven to be true about Obama and the US Constitution.

Maliki is a Muslim, and so is Taliban-friendly Obama.

Must be a Muslim thing:
* Do not play well with others.
* Always ignore all Non-Muslim Laws.
* Always do the opposite of what your Military advisors advise.
* Always behave in the most arrogant manner possible.

He’s going to react to this with ANGER.

Instead of mollifying critics, he’s going to punish them —which means us— for their act of BETRAYAL.

You cannot be mollycoddled for an entire lifetime, then suddenly suffer the rug being yanked from under you, without feelings of very deep shock.

He’s going to EMP us, or at the very least pull off nuclear disarmament right b4 he leaves office.

this is all poppycock. The press can’t go immediately from a drooling love affair with a dem president to snarling attack dogs with a soon-to-be-elected rep president. So, like molasses from the jar, they slowly change their love to scorn in the hopes that noone will notice the drastic change in bias.

“This time Obama’s the target of a coordinated attack by the mainstream media”

This couldn't be further from the truth. The MSM has lied to protect Obama in the IRS scandal, the supposedly lost emails, the Bergdahl parents photo op, the release of 5 violent terrorists from Gitmo, the ending of sanctions against Iran, the U.S. help in arming Muslim terrorists in Africa such as Boku Haram, the Bengazi cover up, the Iraq incompetence and the arming and supporting of Palestinian terrorists.

Add to this the 5 years of continual lies about Obamacare.

The MSM is continually lying to protect Obama. The MSM is just trying to restore some of its lost credibility.

Sorry John. I don’t buy it. If anything, Obama is giving the MSM some leeway for the summer until they write about his courageous comeback after Labor Day.

Just in time for the midterm elections.

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

Nor I. In fact, it was an enormous hole in the resume from day one. I cannot imagine anyone credulous enough to think that the Nobel Prize meant anything at all, but that was about it for foreign policy chops, and it was a perfect metaphor for his entire administration: a thin veneer of propaganda that covered an empty void.

We're paying for that now and even the loyal MSM are forced to admit that perhaps their Chosen One has feet of clay. I've got news: it isn't clay, but it's soft and it smells really bad.

I’ve been seeing lit bits here and there of Dems are becoming or have become very disillusioned with Obama, but they are afraid to admit it. No one wants to be the first to step forward since this was their messiah they have been waiting for all their lives to worship.

BTW, it’s Hydrazine...Jack Hydrazine.

Narcissus will now really take a dive into the pool. Time to put the disorder back in the manual.

". . . his fleeting, now tedious, oratory skills."

He could read a teleprompter with preplanned emphasis and inflections. That's not oratory skill, that's skill at reading a script and following what his director has in mind when the script was written.

The fact is he's a very poor at speaking unless he has a script and has been directed on how to read it. Put the nitwit on the hot seat or in the witness stand and the Presstitutes will quickly be saying, and believing, he's lost his mind.

Unfortunately, most of them will head over to the USS Hillary.

It's always been his strong suit. How else coulds we have such a pond scum administration?

The front of that “suit” was covered with mud from falling on his face everywhere he went.

Boy are you correct on the oratory.
Only in the fantasy world of the MSM could this guy be labeled a competent public speaker.

In today’s Q&A with the press corpse, he was just totally lame.
But it did sound like they still applauded him at the end.
