The decline and fall of Barack Obama

10 reasons for the disintegration of the Chosen One:

  1. The Obama presidency is out of touch with the American people
  2. Most Americans don’t have confidence in the president’s leadership
  3. Obama fails to inspire
  4. The United States is drowning in debt
  5. Obama’s Big Government message is falling flat
  6. Obama’s support for socialised health care is a huge political mistake
  7. Obama’s handling of the Gulf oil spill has been weak-kneed and indecisive
  8. US foreign policy is an embarrassing mess under the Obama administration
  9. President Obama is muddled and confused on national security
  10. Obama doesn’t believe in American greatness

The details are worth reading, but I think the omitted number 11 is the most important reason: Obama is a fraud. He is a creation of the age of the teleprompter, the image obsessed, the fantasy speech writer, the sound bite; he is a brand mirage, a digital construct, a free floating  avatar un-rooted in objective reality.

The Obama that was elected doesn’t actually exist.

Robert Gibbs goes to pieces and takes the language with him

There must be something good about Obama – although what, exactly eludes me – since Robert Gibbs tells us the left thinks he is like Bush:

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs has taken aim at the “professional left” for being unnecessarily harsh on U.S. President Barack Obama and pushing for a Canadian-style health-care system.

“They will be satisfied when we have Canadian health care and we’ve eliminated the Pentagon,” the normally affable Gibbs says in an explosive interview published Tuesday in the congressional newspaper The Hill. “That’s not reality.”

Those on the left who claim Obama as president isn’t much different than George W. Bush, he added, “ought to be drug-tested.”

Poor Gibbs: this sort of philippic from a professional communicator is a sure sign of his imminent demise. To completely set every right-thinking person’s teeth on edge, he ends by butchering the Queen’s English with “There’s 101 things we’ve done.” .  There are, Gibbs, there are.

Chicago and the Olympics: No, we can’t

How could the IOC resist Obama the charmer?

Olympic ‘losers’ stunned and dismayed.

BBC correspondents in Chicago, Tokyo and Madrid witness scenes of dejection after the vote that gave the 2016 Olympic Games to Rio de Janeiro.

As the crowds headed off down the city’s concrete canyons, an Olympic banner, plastered across the side of Daley Plaza, invited citizens to “Imagine”.

After today, they will have to imagine something else.

The deification of Obama

This is how it used to be:

A cult of personality arises when a country’s leader uses mass media to create an idealized and heroic public image, often through unquestioning flattery and praise. Cults of personality are often found in dictatorships and Stalinist governments.

A cult of personality is similar to general hero worship, except that it is created specifically for political leaders. However, the term may be applied by analogy to refer to adulation of religious or non-political leaders.

Now we have the Cult of Obama as  promoted in elementary school:

Song 1:
Mm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

Yes!
Mmm, mmm, mm
Barack Hussein Obama

Song 2:

Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!
For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say “hooray!”

Hooray, Mr. President! You’re number one!
The first black American to lead this great nation!

Hooray, Mr. President we honor your great plans

To make this country’s economy number one again!
Hooray Mr. President, we’re really proud of you!

And we stand for all Americans under the great Red, White, and Blue!
So continue —- Mr. President we know you’ll do the trick

So here’s a hearty hip-hooray —-
Hip, hip hooray!

Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!
