Spot on. Fulford captures the essence of the situation in a few well-chosen words.
His column was a pleasure to read. Have you all noticed that most American "journalists" write like third graders? It's atrocious to the point of painful.
I don't quite buy Fulford's analysis. If a company used the same tactics to sell a product, they would have been charged with consumer fraud by now. To say that the Obama campaign was brilliant is to say that a team that won a game because they bribed the officials was a good team for winning the game.
If bribing sports officials makes a good sports team, then I suppose a corupt Fifth-Estate makes a brilliant campaign.
Obama was installed because of the color of his skin and because of his radicalism. His handlers knew he could not lead his way out of a paper bag. They also know that is not what they wanted him for. In fact, if Obama had been a capable leader, it probably would have derailed his Masters plans.
Obama has had a plan about little, if anything. The current health care proposals are fro the house and the Senate. Obama has not offered one. When it comes to unemployment, he demands that Congress put a plan on his desk. He issued an Executive Order creating a panel to figure out how to reduce the deficit. Hey Mr. Obama, you wanted the job as Chief Executive. Don't you think you should have a plan of your own? I, of course, understand that you will need capable people to implement your ideas -- but they should be your ideas.
Like I said last night Matt, I don't read Fulford's use of the word "brilliant" to mean clever. I read it to mean that despite Obama having no experience, no credentials, and no substance whatsoever, to be the leader of the free world, the people elected him.
Well, the one thing that Fulford got wrong was that Obama was trying to do 'everything' himself, when he has in fact done nothing*.
He was solely the face of leftist America's hatred of Bush, his 'brilliance' no more than a carefully media-polished mask, and his agenda simply Alinsky style, community organizer posturing.
The commenters at the National Post do a pretty good job of skewering the hype. To bad this was not done Before he was elected.
*Unless of course, he decides to claim that after a single year in office he has stopped Global Warming. There is certainly sufficient evidence for that.
A column by another brilliant National Post writer, Robert Fulford.
ReplyDeleteThe future of the National Post is at stake, I hope they pull themselves out of the abyss.
