And that statement above is already proving itself to be true, and frankly, just about any human being with any semblance of feelings and sensitivity would be crushed by the extreme ups and downs people like Obama face when going from basically nowhere, which is what and were he was while here in Illinois, just another politician) to Messiah of the left loon world to right back to nobody, (with a bullet mind you), which is now occurring to the infallible, and anointed one.
And one thing he will discover like other "in the moment" and "fly by" celebrities (which is really what he had become over the last year) always learn the hard way is this: Nobody on the face of this earth will club the shit out of him and his already fragile psyche on the hard ride down than the same fair weather wave riders on the left that sucked off him and his meteoric ride on the way up, which has to be one helluva a ride that most humans never experience.
And likewise as Charles Krauthammer correctly offered a month or so before the election, "“My guess is that he can maintain the spell just past Inauguration Day. After which will come the awakening. It will be rude.”"
The Awakening has indeed arrived and this man will melt under the cruelness he will now endure again from the very bloodsuckers that put him up on this impossible pedestal.
A great piece appeared in the Washington examiner earlier this week enumerating the attacks that have already come fast and furious from those very people that used him to project their societal fantasies off of and let themselves drink that Jonestown KoolAid that's lost it's sweetness and is now intolerable poison.......
They also now see their long lost credibility and soon to be floundering careers they waged on his success were all fools bets that they're all trying to pull off the table now...Sorry, we're not as stupid as you were then and still are now on this side of reality. We saw the naked emporer from the get go and will never let you fools forget it, not after the damage that's already been done to this republic by you and your false idol Obama.
Death of the Obama dream
Well, that was fast.
On March 20, only two months after the cosmic anointing, Vanity Fair, of all people, unloaded on Barack Obama, in the terms it had reserved for the past four or five years for the likes of George W. Bush.
Well, not the whole magazine, but one of its writers, media writer Michael Wolff, took an axe to the president, in a posting beginning “Sheesh, the guy is Jimmy Carter,” ending “This guy is leaden and this show is in trouble,” and titled “Barack Obama is a Terrible Bore.”
The same day, ex-fan Peggy Noonan called him “insubstantial and weightless...not fully focused...jumping from issue to issue and venue to venue from day to day.” “The administration’s difficulties...have created an unfortunate impression of incompetence,”said The Economist.
Politico noted that his skills as a salesman have begun to desert him.
It all came at the end of what Rick Klein of ABC News called Obama’s ‘lost week,’ which got worse on Sunday, when he was attacked by the New York Times in three columns and one editorial. One warned of an oncoming fall of Katrina dimensions. And these were his friends.
Actually, since he was sworn, in most of his weeks have been lost ones, or at least weeks headed downward, the problem being that three or four variations on the theme of incompetence have had time to harden and set.
First, the financial crisis he was hired to fix has only grown worse under his tutelage, losing another 2,000-plus points on the Dow since his ascension. Second, the ‘smoothest transition on record’ stopped being smooth when Bush went back to Texas, and has since been a mélange of scandals and dithering. Third, the immense sums in his budget are starting to stun the more moderate Democrats, not to mention the Obamacons, who once put their hopes in his ‘moderate’ temperament.
Fourth, he and some of his high-profile picks have shown a repeated addiction to unforced errors and slights---mixing up names, misplacing dates, dissing Nancy Reagan, dissing the British Prime Minister, dissing the Special Olympics, created and run by John Kennedy’s sister—giving the impression the administration is run by the under-informed and the boorish and socially compromised.
Would Caroline’s father, who took part in his family’s effort to raise his retarded sister as normal, and who as president put great store in his special relationship with “Uncle Harold” McMillan, have found this amusing? One rather thinks not.
In short, the idea of Obama, the eloquent, elegant, trans-racial hero, able to inspire his way around anything, ran into reality and was dissolved by it, revealing a not-well-prepared neophyte politician with an embarrassing penchant for gaffes.
The markets are down, the price tags are up, the British are piqued, and the independents are heading back to the Republicans, who now have a (slight) lead in the generic ballot, for the first time in nearly three years.
Obama’s teleprompter has its own blog, its own code name---Totus--- and is building a following. One laughs with it, and at him, which cannot be promising. For a would-be Messiah, this is hardly good news.
Way back last year---it was called the campaign--- some people, John McCain and Hillary Clinton, to name only two of them, seemed to suggest that something like this might happen, that there were risks to electing someone with no record or background to speak of, who had never done anything well except talk. They were dismissed as too old and too cranky, jealous that they too did not have a fan base of cult-like intensity.
This was probably right---at least about jealousy---but it doesn’t mean they were wrong on the rest. They were waiting for the bubble to burst, which it did, but too late for their benefit.
“Democrats are worried that the Obama spell will break between the time of his nomination and the time of the election, and deny him the White House,” Charles Krauthammer wrote February 15, 2008, winning the Seer of the Year prize for prognostication. “My guess is that he can maintain the spell just past Inauguration Day. After which will come the awakening. It will be rude.”
What a great post, Ray! Yes it's too bad that Barry's bubble didn't burst last summer, but now everyone is finally waking up. Unfortunately, the damage that will be done in the next four years will be enormous, based on what he's already managed to do in just ten weeks. The end can't come soon enough, hopefully sooner, if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteAs angry and frustrated that I am about the situation, I enjoy knowing with certainty that Barry must be extremely miserable at the moment. He had NO clue what he was getting into and he's most definitely hating all the criticism. It has been a VERY rude awakening for him, especially since the liberal MSM gushed all over him for two years. I honestly think that he didn't expect them or any of the lib Dems to ever utter a harsh word about him.
Thanks for citing that Examiner article. It's a great piece that I hadn't yet seen this week.

I know what you mean Jersey lady ;>) and if he continues down this radical road some radical patriot just may seek out the Kennedy option.
ReplyDelete"especially since the liberal MSM gushed all over him for two years. "
I'm tellin ya I've been more adept at predicting the path of this guy than anyone in the media because I've been obsessed with him in a different way being a Chicagoan who hated him before his presidency run started
Please Read this post, my very first one 8/06 and see what I said that day, it was the day he posed in front of that Superman statue....
Hi Ray. I Just read the 2006 post you did. Wow, lucky me, I really wasn't paying much attention to Barry way back in August of 2006. Your comments there were so dead on. He was then and will always be a typical liberal hypocrite! I still can't believe such a know-nothing, do-nothing imbecile got elected President! I wouldn't have elected him President of my local Rotary Club, or even President of the PTA!

I just wish people would have listened to many of us Illinoisans who knew and know he is basically a do nothing fraud and has been his entire time on the national and local scene.
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe it either and it shows why the country is in such bad shape, pure idiocy amongst us and the encouragement of dumb and uninformed people to vote by BET and MTV and P Diddy turning the election into an AMerican Idol vote, God help us all and pray some James earl comes around some day soon.
