It's now cool to bash Obama

[twinoaks207 (Premo)]

In an interesting view of the Paul McCartney comment, from across the pond, we learn that it is now cool to bash Obama.

Perhaps their biggest problem is that it was not just McCartney's dyed hair and 1960s songs that seemed so retro. His adulation of Obama struck the wrong chord because few outside the White House bubble are in that place any more. It is now permissible – even fashionable – to have a go at the man once hailed as the Messiah.

Gosh, I love being ahead of the trend, yet again!

I must have been reading this at the exact time you were.

I liked this line, which was new to me...

Maureen Dowd of the New York Times jeered that his "Yes we can" slogan had been downgraded to "Will we ever?"

Many of the reader comments were insightful. This one is good too, although for another reason...

Only an "intellectual" like Paul McCartney would marry a one legged, former prostitute without a pre-nup......I value all of his brilliant opinions on politics.

Nice post from the article:

Barry H. Obama, Nobel laureate, millionaire poverty lawyer, one-term state senator, partial-term national senator, with two autobiographies already under his belt, is what he has always been: a Blame-America-First politico. The Euro-Messiah and his historically-unpopular Democratic Congress have rammed European-style healthcare down our throats even as the Continental welfare state is unraveling at its Med fringes.
Here are my two sure bets: Obama will be a one term president and in ten years Iraq will have a stabler democracy than France (okay, too easy, I’ll give you odds). So bash Bush all you want; there will be a Bush Boulevard in Baghdad someday and Sir Paul will be pulling at his joint…wondering why.
Keep the faith, freedom-lovers. Roman roads and soldiers kept Rome viable despite the 12 Caesars; our Constitution and our people will keep America afloat despite our lackluster “leaders.”

I wish I could believe that, I really do. But as has been noted around here recently, these s####y leaders are the symptom, not the disease. Unless the people at large wise up, we will continue down the path to irrelevance and eventually dissolution.

Agree, but giving up or giving in should never be an option for those of us who know better!

I was not advocating that in the least. Our legislators and chief executive pass the laws that become the burdens upon the rest of us, but it all starts with us. I am glad Obama is in office for one lone reason: he may have lit a spark under enough people to begin turning this ship around.

Sooner or later, the pendulum swings in the other direction. However, we tend to go from extreme to extreme without the vital middle ground we need to balance our lives and country. We as a people have failed ourselves miserably because we keep looking for saviors and messiahs that have no business owning up to the title. We tend to overlook the ordinary every day person that may have the solution for the media darling that is attractive on the inside but either lacks the brains to do the job or is just plain unethical and callous when it comes to we the people.
So do we surrender and accept that karma is unchangeable ? No, I mean NO!
Instead we roll up our sleeves and try again for the sake of those coming behind us.
When we lose faith in our country, we surrender to those who know we will do just that.

From what I have read on these forums, I know at least in this little corner of America it is still spelled AMERICA, not AMERIKA. I honor you, fellow citizens for all your opinions, both pro and con. for out of the many, we are one.

VIVA EL ROJO, BLANCO Y AZUL !

So many things could have happened differently, can't change it but I often wonder what would have happened if Clinton wasn't such a puzzy and diminished our intelligence capacity and actually took into custody Bin Laden when offered. Bush may have been a totally different President without 9/11, establishing the Department of Homeland Security and a slew of other wars that followed once the boulder went off the side of that cliff. Regardless of Bush's flaws, he never once put down, apologized, or bowed to other heads of state for America!

To this day he still maintains the dignity of never respond to Obama's repeated blame rhetoric. Two different classes of men and this current Joke of a President is everything America doesn't need...

I agree with you on Bush . He would never have stooped so low, literally, like BO. He would not have allowed the cult of personality that is BO and MO. These two remind me too much of the Ceceascus' of Romania . Bush responded forcefully and effectively after 9/11. He may have gone after the wrong target, but his heart was in the right place. This clown thinks all he has to do is look stern, and the enemy will fall down in fear. I am afraid, they are falling down in laughter not only at him,but at us for electing such a fool in the first place.
What BO and his cronies don't seem or want to understand is that once you are made out to be a fool, it takes a lot of doing to pull yourself out of that hole. Obama thinks that he is still a senator doing junkets all over the world, though the toys are even more expensive now.
