Too bad they romanticize the man with the pen when theirs should be telling it like it is

Obama’s not the one who’s lonely, America is



Obama’s not the one who’s lonely,  America is
One of the main reasons, if not the main reason why Barack Hussein Obama--after all his anti-American horror drops--is still cruising at 40% in popularity polls among low-information voters is simple: it’s that media mugs continue to drape him in urban myths rather than cobwebs.

My media mug definition does not include conservative bloggers and other ‘citizen journalists’, but those ensconced within the hallowed headlines of places like the Wall Street Journal. In other words, within the mainstream media Establishment. In her latest column, Peggy Noonan drapes Obama in the myth that he’s “The Loneliest President Since Nixon”, and that “Obama has no idea how to respond”. (WSJ, Nov. 14, 2014) Sob sister style writing offers no justice for truth seekers sussing out who Noonan calls “Mr. Obama”. A “lonely” Obama? Not on your life. When he travels afar on business, it’s always with his Cleopatra-like entourage. Not for him the limousines supplied for everyone during last week’s summit in China, where he insisted on arriving in the vehicle he arrogantly calls ‘The Beast’. Ditto for the local-traffic-interruptus excursions through the Massachusetts highways and byways and during Hawaiian holidays too. When Obama’s entertaining at home in the White House, he’s surrounded by the Hollywood hangers-on who dominate his outlandishly lavish parties. Even when Obama’s ‘in residence’, he and Michelle are kept company by Valerie Jarrett, whom the media has revealed has 24-hour access to the Obamas in private. Lonely? Hell, no. Obama’s about as lonely as a pampered poodle in Poodle Palace. According to Noonan, now that Obama is “the loneliest president since Nixon, “Obama has no idea how to respond”. Balderdash, horse feathers and my winter-booted right foot thrown in for good measure. Obama, in his so-called lonely state, isn’t taking too long to respond with threats of any-day-now Amnesty. His phone and his pen are ever at the ready to go over the heads not only of Congress but over the heads of We the People who do not want their sovereignty cancelled out by millions of illegal aliens. “I have never seen a president in exactly the position Mr. Obama is, which is essentially alone. He’s got no one with him now. The Republicans don’t like him, for reasons both usual and particular: They have had no good experiences with him. The Democrats don’t like him, for their own reasons plus the election loss. Before his post-election lunch with congressional leaders, he told the press that he will judiciously consider any legislation, whoever sends it to him, Republicans or Democrats. His words implied that in this he was less partisan and more public-spirited than the hacks arrayed around him. It is for these grace notes that he is loved. No one at the table looked at him with colder, beadier eyes than outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid , who clearly doesn’t like him at all. The press doesn’t especially like the president; in conversation they evince no residual warmth. This week at the Beijing summit there was no sign the leaders of the world had any particular regard for him. They can read election returns. They respect power and see it leaking out of him. If Mr. Obama had won the election they would have faked respect and affection,” Noonan writes. To be fair, Noonan isn’t the only mainstream media columnist out there draping Obama in romantic myths. But she’s the primary one awarding him Only-the-Lonely status: Harry Reid is presented as the latest Obama Judas in her column: Harry Reid, who “clearly doesn’t like” Obama at all, looked at him with “colder, beadier eyes”. But not only do dirty looks not kill, they unfortunately do nothing to stop the madness either. Reid and sidekick Nancy Pelosi have done Obama’s bidding for six long years, and even before. “The press doesn’t especially like the president; in conversation they evince no residual warmth.” (Noonan) It hasn’t kept them from being in the tank with him or from covering his back on the lies spewed out by his lockstep administration. And as for Noonan’s contention that at the Beijing summit there was “no sign the leaders of the world had any particular regard” for Obama. “They can read election returns. They respect power and see it leaking out from him” : The power is not leaking out from Obama. It’s leaking out drop by drop from a nation under the brutal boot of a Marxist ideologue who is squeezing the life out of all things American in an obsession he boastfully calls ‘The Fundamental Transformation of America’. Obama’s not lonely; America, in its ongoing courageous bid for survival, is. It’s not Obama not knowing “how to respond’, but the Republicans--even after replacing hundreds of Democrats in midterms--not knowing what to do. Obama’s got a pen and a phone, and so have the Ms. Noonans with thousands of readers and ‘peeps’. Too bad they romanticize the man with the pen when theirs should be telling it like it is.
