Especially when they have squandered the opportunity to do something unique, something grand.īut in Barack Obama’s case, ( as a double-minded man) opportunism got in the way of opportunity, and while there will still be the usual hangers-on who will cling to the last remnants of his oratory, the truth will ultimately prevail. It is sad to see someone fall from such lofty heights. ( But let us not forget, that actors even in a Greek Tragedy, speak words that are written by someone else.) The words have been empty for a long time because they never really had any meaning to begin with. Or possibly when he was trying to find more letters for the alphabet because he was running out after the NSA, the IRS, investigations by the CIA and FBI and the American people who could see what was happening were shouting “S.O.S.” Maybe it was when the president promised to fix the VA before doing nothing. Was it after al-Qaeda died? Was it while he was painting red lines in the sand? Was it during the making of that notorious YouTube video that set the entire Middle East on fire? So when did the teleprompter break? When did all that eloquence that mesmerized throngs of the American people disappear into the pathetic mumbo jumbo we witness now on a weekly basis?

And yet you continue to wonder how anyone could dispute the grand plan you had to remake the United States in your image? Why does a major league pitcher throw at a batter’s head after he prances around the bases following a home run? “In-your-face’ is unbecoming, especially in a president of the United States.

If you don’t believe it, ask the NFL why they are imposing penalties on players for hot-dogging in the end zone after a touchdown. When it happens too often, Americans revolt. He does not realize that the people he represents resent it when he takes his victory laps or any opportunity to chastise an opponent, even when it has no relevance to whatever happens to be the talking point of the day. Some people never get the message do they Harry and Nancy and Eric?īut these are not normal circumstances and Barack Obama has never truly grasped what being an American is all about ( because he is not one). Yes, there are still some, most of whom would have followed Jim Jones to Guyana too. Under normal circumstances there would be those who empathize with the president’s fall from grace. Today he just a “mess.” ( In fact, He’s never actually said anything on his own that is insightful, inspiring, or eloquent.) In those days Obama was considered a Messiah. “Fast and furious” have taken on new meaning since the early days of Obama’s administration (speak) fast and (act) furious.ĭuring that period of relative anonymity the current president was regarded as the “Great ( half) Black ( homophilic) Hope” whose oratorical skills ( l ike “This is the moment when the earth began to heal” “I’m outraged” “Let me be clear“) established a vast legion of followers who believed he was the reincarnation of Demosthenes. Obama’s is simply another affirmative action story of hubris, where a member of a privileged minority is promoted far beyond his level of incompetence). ( But to point out the difference, a Greek tragedy involves a heroic character with a tragic flaw, leading to downfall. Barack Obama does not resemble a Greek tragedy, he is one. Watching the president do his best to explain away the latest scandal involving the Veteran’s Administration was a classic case of hubris in action. Such a question can’t be answered, since, clearly, it never existed.)

#Obama teleprompter breaks series#
The real question about Barack Obama that may be debated for decades is when did the teleprompter break? ( Why invent the euphemism “teleprompter” when the problem is clearly an unbroken series of lies and obfuscation that began on the date of when character and competence and any sense of ethics disappeared. School is still out as to whether Obama is the worst president, but Jimmy Carter has been a lot happier lately. There is no doubt that he is the first ( half) black president. Herein is an embellishment to a very concise what’s wrong with Obama’s legacy: When did the teleprompter break?ĬHARLOTTE, NC, - Historians may have a tough time trying to determine certain aspects of the Obama presidency.
