It’s the hubris two-fer.
Over at Hot Air, it seems Obama’s staffers aren’t aware that the coronation election isn’t until November. And that Obama will, at most, only be President for eight years.
“It is not going to be a political speech,” said a senior foreign policy adviser, who spoke to reporters on background. “When the president of the United States goes and gives a speech, it is not a political speech or a political rally.[”]
“But he is not president of the United States,” a reporter reminded the adviser.
When you’ve lost the mainstream media, you’ve lost middle America, eh?
And please, pay no attention to those tens of thousands of soldiers who made political reconciliation possible in Iraq. Because, really, their presence was incidental. Barack’s plan would have worked whether or not any soldiers were present. Believe it. He does! Oh, and he could have spent your tax dollars a whole lot smarter, by the way. (Not collecting them at all, in lieu of spending them in Iraq, is apparently not an option.)
Bonus: I thought the right was supposed to be the side doing all the fear-mongering.
Michelle Obama is in full panic mode. (And I don’t blame her - her husband ought to be stomping McCain right now, not hanging on to his lead by his fingernails.)
…”I wish we had time to be divided. I wish we had time to be upset. To be angry. To be disappointed. I wish we did,” Obama said. “Because if we had time for that, then things wouldn’t be so bad right now. Instead, we’re in a place where another four or eight years of the world as it is will devastate the life of some child.”
Because children aren’t going uneducated, being killed in gang fights, being abused, or anything like that already. We need to elect Obama because he can prevent it! Elect Obama. For the children.
Maybe time is running out on the love-fest. The media is now (correctly) being held up as an object of ridicule, and if they can get past the thrill running up their collective leg, they just might react. And since most of Obama’s gaffe-ridden campaign is a cult of personality, without the media support he’s going to be in a world of hurt. And how much longer is the media going to open themselves up for criticism like this?
