Obama Can't Fake It
The national polls show that Mr. Obama is still personally popular. His favorability numbers have shrunk since March, but not as rapidly as the approval of his political initiatives.
His agenda is tanking. It seems Americans prefer capitalism and freedom over socialism. The majority of citizens have pretty much determined that selling their children into government bondage is not the change they had in mind.
Here is the problem America faces. Obama is a media creation. The liberal press propelled this punk, political hack into movie star status. He is all image and a great actor. Obama's problem is that the productions his casting agents selected are all tanking at the box office.
As the President of the United States, Obama can get face time around the world. But there is a growing disconnect with the voters. He is blinded by his press clippings. It's a common malady in Hollywood. He doesn't comprehend that the cameras are there because of the status of the office he holds, not because the world is anxiously awaiting his pearls of wisdom.
Like many Hollywood actors, accustomed to adulation by their groupies, Obama is deceiving himself. He still believes the raves and reviews for his acting ability substantiates his audience's respect for his opinions and agenda.
Access to publicity doesn't equate with automatic acceptance of the message. Obama is skating on the propaganda, distortions and lies of Pelosi and Reid. And this is wearing out his welcome.
His constant appearances on television, selling the left wing's wares, started because of the Democratic hierarchy's recognition of his natural charm and personal likeability. His reliance on teleprompters to deliver their message substantiates his need for a script. His time spent on podiums, acting presidential, is now a tedious joke.
He is little more than a pretender. His prepared appearances are being dismissed by the voters and the US' allies as paid programming. The radical, socialist agenda he espouses is so transparent, his naivety so obvious and his immaturity so painful that he has become a caricature of a charming toady.
So now when he appears on television, the viewers routinely know that some agenda issue or policy of Pelosi or Reid is backfiring. No actor can sustain popularity if his or her movies keep doing belly flops. And no amount of hype by friendly reviewers can fill the theater seats once the word-of-mouth appraisals are uniformly negative.
This is not to infer that Obama doesn't have a good intellect. His problem stems from the fact that his ascendency relied on the artificial standards of political correctness, multi-culturalism and diversity. This handicap is magnified by the fact he has no experience in decision making. That's why he dithers.
The President of the United States can't fake it. The free ride ended the day he entered the Oval Office. Try as they do, ABC, CBS, NBC and the New York Times can't conceal an empty suit. Their efforts only succeeded in destroying their own credibility.
