For the amusement of passersby, the brilliant Prof. Victor David Hansen of Fresno teaches us humble peasants the Gospel according to Swish Obama, as practiced by Swish, as lived by Swish, and heaven knows as believed by Swish.
He gleaned this choking take from Swish’s unhumble, backpatting bin Laden announcement a week ago last night in his first of 45 separate television appearances last week:
“Tonight, I can report . . . And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta . . . I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden . . . I met repeatedly with my national security team . . . I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action. . . . Today, at my direction . . . I’ve made clear . . . Over the years, I’ve repeatedly made clear . . . Tonight, I called President Zardari . . . and my team has also spoken. . .These efforts weigh on me every time I, as Commander-in-Chief … Finally, let me say to the families . . . I know that it has, at times, frayed. . . .”
I said last week that Swish’s incessant prancing forth and back across the international stage — not to mention that he travels farther and oftener than a wounded bird with hyper-rabies — has made the putative leader of the free world resemble a refugee from Comedy Central.
President Obama’s outlandish behavior after the execution of bin Franklin Laden calculatedly obscured the heroics of numerous talent Special Ops and Navy Seals geniuses. He took all the bows because, he told us, he monopolized unspeakable courage and undertook all of the risks. He reminds me of the football coach who won a championship and said he still could have won without the players, only the rules forced him to carry players on the roster.
Look at Me
Here is Prof. Hanson’s take:
“The problem of first-personalizing national security is twofold. One, it is not consistent. Good news is reported by Obama in terms of ‘I’; bad news is delivered as ‘reset,’ ‘the previous administration,’ ‘in the past’: All good things abroad are due to Obama himself; all bad things are still the blowback from George W. Bush.
Two, there is the small matter of hypocrisy. The protocols for taking out Osama bin Laden were all established by President Bush and all opposed by Senator and then candidate Obama. Yet President Obama never seeks to explain that disconnect; indeed, he emphasizes it by the overuse of the first person.”
Swish consistently has behaved as an immature egomaniac. His latest sally into chest-pounding land came last month when this galloping narcissist issued an executive order that makes audacity look like a shy 3-year-old girl.
Distorting — on Purpose or Accidentally?
Because the Hugo Chavez-like order puts Swish in a black light, it had received virtually no attention by the hard left Los Angeles Titanic until this morning. The Titanic’s first duty is to twist or deflect reality for him. The Wall Street Journal, America’s most popular and most objective newspaper, cleanly reported the story a week and a half ago.
This morning, two of the Titanic’s most dedicated ideologue reporters Matea (All That Glitters Definitely Is Not) Gold, and Tom (I Am Worth One Pound of) Hamburger, belatedly reported the story in such a cheerleading manner that even Swish the narcissist would have blushed.
In their research, they either carelessly misstated facts or cravenly lied in describing fundraising for the 2010 mid-term elections. Democrats outraised Republicans last autumn even though they were one-sidedly beaten in Congressional races. Democrat groups outraised conservative groups. But that seems not to have mattered because it inconveniently contradicts Gold-Hamburger agenda.
They misled readers by not reporting that labor unions outraised the Republican-backed groups they demonized.
They laughingly described the pending Executive Order as “obscure” since Swish tried to slip it under the door after hours, without attracting attention.
In naming conservative and liberal groups in their story, they only branded Republican groups by ideology. Liberal factions such as Democracy 21 and Public Citizen were not identified as liberal.
Is it any wonder the Titanic’s circulation has skidded 35 percent in recent years with this type of typically dishonest front-page “reporting.”
The Executive Order says that if a company is bidding for a government contract, every businesses and its officers must list all of their political donations.
All of their political donations.
You may ask what that has to do with obtaining a contract, and the administration declines to answer.
The motivation, like most of Swish’s mischievous, playpen thuggery, is embarrassingly obvious: Screen out his Republican enemies.
He is expected to sign the order any day.
