MORTIMER ZUCKERMAN ON OBAMA--WOW!!
Zuckerman the Editor in Chief of U.S. News & World Report is not a
Republican nor is his magazine. This is the harshest article I have
seen on Obama but it does shed some light on the turning of events in
his Presidency.
A most interesting editorial, not from Fox News or Rush Limbaugh, but
from Mortimer Zuckerman of U. S. News.
The tide is turning.
Subject: Mortimer Zuckerman on President Obama THE LIBERAL WRITTEN
MEDIA IS BEGINNING TO FLIP ON OBAMA. FROM THEIR LIPS AND PENS TO
GOD'S EARS!!!
Mortimer Zuckerman is the Editor in Chief of the U S News and World
Report and was a supporter of Barack Obama during his run for the
Presidency. This is a staggering appraisal of the President's first
year in office- coming from someone who supported President Obama.
In a January 20, 2010 editorial, the Editor in Chief of U.S. News &
World Report, Mortimer Zuckerman, had this to say:
“Obama’s ability to connect with voters is what launched him. But
what has surprised me is how he has failed to connect with the voters
since he’s been in office.
He’s had so much overexposure. You have to be selective. He was
doing five Sunday shows. How many press conferences? And now people
stop listening to him… He’s lost his audience. He has not rallied
public opinion. He has plunged in the polls more than any other
public figure since we’ve been using polls. He’s done everything
wrong. Well, not everything, but the major things… I don’t consider
it a triumph. I consider it a disaster.” And that’s what his friends
are saying about him.
As the boy president occupied the White House on January
20, 2009 it was predictable that his presidency would last a year, at
most, because the things he promised and the things he stood for were
so uniquely un-American. Looking back over his year in office, any
reasonably precocious fourth grader could make a cogent argument in
opposition to nearly everything he’s done. In fact, his policies have
been so extreme and so far outside the mainstream that he was destined
to achieve the most spectacular fall from grace of any American
president in history. It was easy to see him serving out the final
three years of his term as a virtual exile in the White House… afraid
to venture out among any but the most rabid partisans.
Seeing his most ambitious initiative, healthcare reform, die in the
flames of the Massachusetts Massacre, Obama made a hastily-planned
“sortie” to Ohio for yet another Bush-bashing, self-aggrandizing stump
speech on job creation. It was vintage Obama… full of left wing
hyperbole and planted questions from the Kool- Ade drinkers in the
hand-picked audience… but there were just two things wrong with it: 1)
Almost everything he said was either wrong or an outright lie, and 2)
He is so overexposed that no one in the television audience really
wanted to see him.
Obama Kool-Ade drinkers in the media, and elsewhere, like to describe
Obama as a “very bright man, a true intellectual (compared to George
W. Bush and Sarah Palin, of course).” If that is the case, why has he
demonstrated such a great inability to learn from his failures? The
strident words and the in-your-face attitude of his Ohio speech were
proof that he has totally misread the meaning of the Scott Brown
victory in Massachusetts.
Whatever hopes and dreams he had for his time in the White House,
whatever grandiose plans he had for transforming the United States
from a constitutional republic with a free market economy into a
socialist dictatorship with a centrally planned economy, were all lost
on Tuesday, January 19, 2010… one day short of a full year in office.
Yet, he appears to have learned nothing from the experience.
Comedian George Gobel once asked, rhetorically, “Did you ever get the
feeling that the world was a tuxedo and you were a pair of brown
shoes?” In the context of 21st century American politics, and assuming
that he has any capacity at all for honest self-examination, Obama
must be feeling today very much like a pair of brown shoes at a black
tie soiree.
When a politically naïve and totally inexperienced young black man,
with a glib tongue and an exceptional ability to read words
convincingly from a teleprompter, announced that he was ready to serve
as President of the United States, liberals and Democrats saw it as a
perfect opportunity to expiate whatever white guilt they may have
felt… which was apparently considerable among those on the political
left. It didn’t seem to bother them that, as one pundit has remarked,
“every time he walks into a room he is the least experienced and the
least qualified man in the room.” Nevertheless, his friends in the
worldwide socialist movement and the international banking community
figured out how to smuggle hundreds of millions of dollars in illegal
campaign funds into the country, the black community rallied to his
banner, and American liberals and the mainstream media jumped on board
the bandwagon. Together, they made it happen for him. But now, just
one year later, Obama appears destined to become the unhappiest man in
American politics… unhappier than even former Senator John Edwards,
who runs a close second, and former president Bill Clinton.
Clinton will be the third unhappiest man because, after capturing the
big prize, he frittered away whatever chance he had of ever being
compared favorably with Franklin D. Roosevelt as one of the 20th
century’s greatest Democratic presidents. Not only was he a
politician of unusual skill and insight, he was widely known as a
policy “wonk” among policy wonks and he had the drive and the personal
charm to be loved and respected around the world. Unfortunately, he
was never able to put the public trust at the top of his priority
list. Instead, he surrounded himself with a large cadre of trusted
enablers who allowed him to conduct himself as if he were, not the
President of the United States, but the class stud on an extended
spring break in Acapulco.
Now that he’s been out of office for nearly a decade and he’s married
to the current Secretary of State, he spends his days trying to find
something useful to do without calling an undue amount of attention to
himself. Having lied so shamelessly to the American people, having
perjured himself in a court of law, having turned the Oval Office into
a sexual playpen, and having suffered the humiliation of impeachment,
he’s smart enough to know that he has little reputation left to
protect. So in order to protect whatever legacy remains, he walks a
tightrope every day… and he has many more years to walk it without
falling off.
Former Senator John Edwards is destined to be the second unhappiest
man in American politics because he will be known forever as the most
thoroughly despised scumbag in the political arena. A trial lawyer,
Edwards amassed a $60 million fortune by winning large jury awards
against doctors, hospitals, and corporations. His specialty was cases
in which children were born with cerebral palsy, which he blamed on
doctors who had waited too long to perform C-sections, a claim that
doctors and medical researchers have described as “junk science.”
Then, like Obama, he decided that his experience in the courtroom, his
glib tongue, and his one term in the U.S. Senate qualified him to be
President of the United States. He entered the 2004 Democratic
presidential primaries, raising an incredible amount of money for a
newcomer to elective office… most of it raised illegally by “bundlers”
in plaintiffs’ law firms across the country. He was unsuccessful in
his quest for the Democratic nomination but was selected by his Senate
colleague, John Kerry, as his running mate.
Two years later, in 2006, Edwards met a young blonde film producer,
Rielle Hunter, and embarked on a love affair with her. On February
27, 2008, Hunter gave birth to a daughter, for whom Edwards has
consistently denied paternity… until now.
Taking into account that all of this was happening while his wife was
waging a long battle with breast cancer, Edwards now has the
well-deserved reputation of being the sleaziest of the sleazy. He is
so universally despised that, if he is on the lookout for a friend, he
might as well resign himself to getting a dog… or moving in with O.J.
Simpson. Terry Moran, host of ABC’s This Week, put it all in
perspective. He said, “What’s interesting to note is that Edwards’
latest admission (that he is the father of Hunter’s child) came while
he was in Haiti. As if the people of that sad place didn’t have
enough problems.” Clearly, the one thing Clinton and Edwards share
that places them near the top of our list is their sexual
peccadilloes, a shortcoming that Obama does not appear to share with
them… at least from what we know so far.
What we do know about Obama is that, since his teen years, he has been
mentored by, gravitated toward, and surrounded by the most dangerous
sort of America-hating socialists, communists, and Marxists… from
Frank Marshall Davis and Saul Alinsky to Weather Underground
terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, to Rev. Jeremiah Wright,
George Soros, and countless radical left college professors.
