Do We Worry About Global Warming … After Armaggedon?
There are global threats abound – like a nuclear bomb happy Iran, the maniacle dictator with nuclear aspirations in North Korea, a flush-with-cash China building a shock-and-awe Navy, a failing former ally in Pakistan, and other serious growing problems, yet the United States is headed by an inexperienced, naive, and pathological narcissistic young President who is reportedly “facing exhaustion over America’s economic crisis and is unable to focus on foreign affairs.”
Obonga still has a 58% approval rating so its not like the unwashed masses have awoke from their Kool-Aid slumber and realized “The Won” isn’t “the one.” Maybe a few of them still read the left-wing rag, Newsweek, and caught Robert Samuelson‘s calling out of The Teleprompter One:
Barack Obama is a great pretender. He constantly says he’s doing things that he isn’t, and he relies on his powerful rhetoric to obscure the difference. He has made “responsibility” a personal theme, and the budget’s cover line is “A New Era of Responsibility.” He claims that the budget begins “making the tough choices necessary to restore fiscal discipline.” It doesn’t.
A prudent president would have made a “tough choice”— concentrated on the economy, deferred his more contentious agenda. Similarly, Obama claims to seek bipartisanship but, in reality, doesn’t.
It is Obama’s conceit—perhaps his cockiness—that he can ignore blatant inconsistencies. Like many smart people, he believes he can talk his way around any problem. Perhaps he can. In this, he has an ally in much of the mainstream media, which seem so enthralled with him that they can’t recognize glaring contradictions. During the campaign, Obama claimed he would change Washington’s petty partisanship; he also advocated a highly partisan agenda. Both claims could not be true. The media barely noticed; the same obliviousness persists. But Obama still runs a risk: that his overworked rhetoric loses its power and boomerangs on him.”
