Last week Fineman of Newsweek and Cohen of the Washington Post voiced their concerns as to whether our President, Barack Hussein Obama, is behaving in a manner suited for the Office of the President of the United States. General McChrystal, the President’s choice, upsets the White House with his honest assessment of Afghanistan, implying that the White House is failing in their prosecution of President Obama’s “necessary war.” Then, insult upon injury, Saturday Night Live parodies the President’s inability to accomplish anything on his list of the issues that he campaigned to “Change”, a scathing criticism of the President, ending with the listing of President Obama’s two accomplishments: “Jack” and “Squat”.
When the grown-ups in the traditional, liberal media, particularly the likes of Fineman and Cohen, the general hand-picked by the President, and then comics of Saturday Night Live start to criticize and satirize the resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and his policies and failures, “times they are a’changing.”
Over the week end, Marty Peretz, Editor-in-Chief of the New Republic calls President Obama a “Clinical Narcissist”. George Will, on ABC News’ “This Week” highlights the extraordinary numbers of “me’s” and “I’s” used by the President and the First Lady in their pro-Chicago Olympics speeches in Copenhagen on Thursday. In www.newsbusters.org on Monday, Blogger P.J. Gladnick said: “If Obama is a “clinical narcissist” that would make the MSM his enablers since months before he was elected president, they were already portraying him in images and print as having a saintly halo image. “
So we’ve got a ‘Clinical Narcissist’ and his willing enablers in the press leading our country. What is the the result of the U.S. – a President who believes that he can say whatever he wants without any consequence of “fact-checking” by those that enable him, the old media. Consequently, his address on Saturday regarding the economy and the need for health care reform to solve our economic, read unemployment, problems goes unchallenged. This week end the President used his Saturday radio address to tout how health care reform will solve our growing unemployment problems and, hence, revive our floundering economy.
When President Obama blamed the lack of health care reform as the basis for the growing unemployment problem he knew that no one would suggest the obvious, because the old media has its head up Mr. Obama’s “pant crease”. Mr. Obama provided examples of businesses that can’t grow, can’t invest in R&D, can’t get started and can’t survive without this healthcare reform. Nowhere do we see anyone point out that our unemployment problem is here today, except maybe Limbaugh, suffocating us today, and your health care bill will only tax businesses between now and 2013, but no health care reform will be implemented prior to 2013. How does that solve today’s unemployment problems caused by financial stress on small business resulting from escalating health care premiums: taxes today but no reform for four years? This is the lie of the Obama Administration, the connection between the solution for today’s economic woes with his health care plan (a bigger lie is that there is an Obama health care plan, a plan that no one has ever seen, but that’s somewhat off the subject).
On Saturday, in his Saturday morning radio address, the President got away with maybe the most misleading policy address of his Administration, bigger than the myth of “millions of green jobs” and absurd claims – that a policy that won’t even begin until, at the earliest, 2013, except for the tax component of it, will somehow solve today’s unemployment problems. This folly would have had no enablers during the Bush years, but this narcissist President is emboldened to speak nonsense in a national address, knowing that his enablers in the old media will not check even the most absurd of his policy pronouncements.
