More of Journalism's Shining Fulfillment

Tucker Carlson has written more eloquently than I might have, "Never has a president been warped by Washington quicker. At times tonight, Obama sounded like an embattled second-termer with a 35 percent approval rating. What percentage of his speech was spent lashing out at his enemies, real and imagined? Radio and cable-television pundits, George W. Bush, former Congresses, unnamed ghouls employing “scare tactics,” whose “only agenda is to stop reform at any cost”—they’re all against him, Obama said. And they’re lying.This isn’t how confident leaders speak. These are the complaints of a man on his way to bitterness. So soon?"

I constantly remind myself of The Anointed Won rushing TARP through Congress in two days and then letting it sit on his desk for three days, while he took a long week-end off.

This is a guy who gets his way and

gets cocky . . .or he gets ugly.

Ed Morissey observes, "Obama, on the other hand, has never held executive office in politics. He has spent his short political life as a legislator, and not even a particularly bold legislator. Obama was much more of a bandwagon man as a legislator, offering rhetorical instead of political leadership, and for the most part receiving nothing but warm praise bordering on tongue-baths from the media."

To bring this back to Memetics, I regard

The Anointed Won

as someone who takes the world in big chunks -

- as "Mine!"

I'll leave others to pick names out of the DSM (American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual), but this is an individual who gives Nancy Pelosi and unseen lobbyists the job of drafting laws; he has no interest in details. The Won likes winning. I'll bet he loses interest in something before he loses, so the conclusion of the ObamaCare ObamaShow may offer some humor and surprises.

I'll bet he characteristically loses interest in anything

where he perceives he is likely to lose.

Protests in Iran,

Democracy in Honduras,

War in Afghanistan.

Domestic economic recovery.

This is not the leader we need.

I will also wager than he compensates. His show in the Security Council next week will be interesting, even if disturbing.
