| VDH: Obama Fatigue |

| ...Great orators get better in their rhetoric, not worse. It turns out that the people risked a blank slate in Obama in part because in his teleprompted hope and change orations, he sounded fresh and mellifluous. Voters assumed he would wear well. But in nonstop interviews, press conferences, and conversations, the impromptu president seems no more comfortable than was an ad hoc George Bush. And just as liberals were turned off by Bush's cowboyisms, so too conservatives are tired of Obama's professorial, condescending sermons. After a year, the people are tired of all the "let me be perfectly clear" psycho-drama, the "make no mistake about" pseudo-tough man pose, the straw man "I reject the false choice that some would...," and the narcissistic "I have ordered.....my team...to." The boilerplate is now recognizable even to the Washington press corps. But as important, it dovetails with more disturbing propensities: there are the periodic signs of inanity like "Cinco de Cuatro" and "corpse-man;" the constant fudging on the truth of multibillion dollar new programs really "saving" money; and the surreal bowing to dictators and emperors, with the relish of turning our misdemeanors into felonies and our enemies' felonies into benefactions.... |

| #1 I don't have Obama fatigue because I never listen to that empty suit... But the fact remain that Hillary was shunned for the job because of Clinton Fatigue due to slick Willie's extreme exposure, so Hussein Melon Head's career is already destroyed, by his own over inflated ego. Even for demon rats, it will be "Anybody but the Joker"...  |
