ABC eulogizes the President that wasn’t

ABC eulogizes the President that wasn’t. “The 2004 version of Barack Obama, who captured the nation with a dazzling speech about unity and went on to win the presidency on a message of hope, died on Monday. He was 8 years old.” Barry the magic unicorn may be dead but the insipid fantasies of gullible journ0lists go on.

  • This i don't much understand..

    On the one hand, i think here is clear indication that progressives are disappointed in Obama because he's either not progressive enough for them, or just not capable of really pressing that agenda

    On the other hand, it was clear to me that stopping Obama's agenda was in order from Day 1. There's nothing wrong with this. If Republicans, particularly nascent Tea Party, thought he was socialist before the election, this would be the natural course. Obstructing his agenda is precisely the strategy.

    Wear it proudly.

  • "Even as we speak," he said, "there are those who are preparing to divide us -- the spin masters, the negative ad peddlers, who embrace the politics of anything goes."

    It's funny how he speaks, trying to convince you he's talking about the Republicans, but is in fact, talking about himself!

    "What is the president supposed to do? Are we and the hopes of the American people -- are we supposed to unilaterally disarm in the face of the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson and Foster Friess, people like that?" one major Democratic donor said, referring to high-profile GOP money men.

    Of course not, you're supposed to knuckle under to the likes of George Soros and Henry Tsu.

  • I tried reading the article, seemed more like they were making fun of him. I think their point was lost from the start for lack of logical reasoning.

    • To me, it seemed like they were lamenting the changes and concessions he had to make because of being pressured by the evil right wing radicals.

      Of course, he didn't WANT to do those things, he wanted to do the "right" thing, but we wouldn't let him. I guess it's that darn Congress full of Tea Partiers.

      If only.

    • I heeded your warning, thanks. Now we'll have to wait dinner. Pure, full strength glurge. All they forgot was the DangerDangerDanger warning at the end about failure to pass it on to all your friends and family.

  • This article is a shining example why I don't read the bilge zombie-eyed pseudo-journalists dream up. Obummer's demise as prez couldn't possibly be because he is a Constitution-loathing left-wing extremist that has ruled more as a dictator than a president and in the process utterly failed the American people. No, it can't be that. Its gotta be something else...anything else...but that.
