Backfire!
The media did Barack Obama no favors when they deified him, when they tried to turn him into a saint during the presidential campaign. Now the American people are seeing that he's not transformational, not post-partisan, not post-political -- all the wonderful things he claimed to be, with hardly a raised eyebrow by his pals in the slobbering media.
He has repeatedly told us, with great eloquence, that for big issues to become law, 50-plus-one isn't good enough. Big ideas need big coalitions. They need consensus. They need Democrats and Republicans. Now the same Barack Obama tells us that 50-plus-one is just fine with him. Forgive me for stating the obvious: Barack Obama is nothing more than an old-fashioned politician, the kind we’ve seen a million times before. The kind that gives hypocrisy a bad name. There is nothing transformational about him, nothing post-partisan, nothing post-political. What we got in Mr. Obama is an old pol who reeks of hack.
Nobody, and certainly not Barack Obama, could possibly live up to the media hype. The fools in the press thought they were helping their guy. They weren’t content merely being eyewitnesses to history. They wanted to shape history. This was no mere liberal Democrat running for president. This was not Mondale or Dukakis or Gore or Kerry. This was the Great Obama. This was history in the making.
And now, the Annointed One is paying the price for all that embarrassing adulation. Democrats still love him, Republicans still don't. But independents are leaving him by the truckload. And make no mistake, they are the ones who decide elections in America.
This is not what the Lamestream media had in mind when they elevated a mere Chicago politician to the status of messiah.

Obama is so “transformational” he is frightening. If he can get the Nancy/Harry healthcare bill passed without strict adherence to the Constitution (“Slaughter,” etc. procedure) then he will also be able to use other unlimited powers (“Czars”) to run the Country by executive order without the support of the Congress or the Supreme Court. He would also be able to bypass other provisions of the Constitution, leaving us helpless against communists, socialists and others (many already working in our Administration), who hate the U. S. A. and its people.
The Constitution was created to protect us from the depredations of irresponsible government. (Will we substitute Emperor Obama for King George? Have you read how easily Hitler moved from petty politician to Emperor of Germany? Have you noticed how Mr. O. denigrates the U. S. A. while favoring our enemies, especially Muslims; favoring Palestinian enemies against Israel, our friends; favoring Argentina, socialists, against the United Kingdom, our friends; attacking Honduras, our friends; favoring Muslim Iranians, our enemies, against their own people; never a discouraging word against Hugo Chavez, communist; paying all costs of moving unwanted Bantus from Africa (Muslims) to U. S. cities?
Mr. & Ms. America, stopping this johnny-come-lately common politician from carrying out his intended transformations now could be your last chance to save your greatest protector, the Constitution of the United States.

Just finished and enjoyed Crazies to the Left, Wimps to the Right and enjoyed. One thing stands out: You said offering a “bribe” by our legislators to get a vote is legal. If bribery is illegal by me with “my money”, then why isn’t it illegal for someone to do it with someone else’s money? This is the gist of all this corruption in our government. Could this be a consitutional challenge? Think about it, it’s illegal and anyone in government that does it goes to jail. End of problem.
I just read your book “Crazies to the left of me; wimps to the right”, and I really liked it.
I was wondering about your take on evolution, though. If I understand it, it is officially a theory, not a fact. One thing that troubles me about evolution is that it seems to contradict entropy.
And what about the odds of a cheetah or a camel ever existing? Most mutations are fatal, many of the survivors are sterile. So multiple mutations for the same category (like speed for a cheetah or desert living for a camel) seem somewhat unlikely. Cheetahs have small heads (less wind resistance), claws that don’t fully retract (like spikes for track shoes), a spine that works like a sprint, larger than nrmal heart and lungs.
Claws that don’t retract all the way wouldn’t be a useful mutation by themselves, so how did the first almost cheetah manage to propogate? Maybe that mutation happened last?
I always tune in when you’re on O’Reilly – I like the way you say what you think!
Mr. Goldberg…Just finished reading your book “A Slobbering Love Affair” and that is going on my list of books to buy someday when I’m not paying state/fed taxes. It was very intertaining but more importantly, you write in a way that is very clear and to the point.
Thank you and I will definitely go to the library and pick up another of your books to read…if my small library has them. En joy you on Fox too.
Mr Goldberg,
Unfortunately much of the media is made up of zealots, on both sides of the political spectrum. I don’t want to be fed pablum by political operatives with tunnel vision, I want an objective presentation of the important issues of the day. You are the type of journalist that I respect most. It’s refreshing to listen to a political experts who remains calm and treats other with civility, and yet is able to call it like it is, even if some toes have to be gently stepped on.
Sincerely.
Don Severance
Many thanks, Don.
I wonder what you think about Patrick Kennedy’s rant on media not covering the War in Afghanistan.
Sad but true: it’s always “fun” to watch a meltdown on TV. I think the boy is unstable. he’s right about the media’s fascination with Massa. Wrong about coverage of Afghanistan. It’s a good thing he’s retiring. He needs some rest.
Bernie, You said “it’s always “fun” to watch a meltdown on TV.” How about Glenn Beck’s daily meltdown on Fox? What say you?
