Boy, is my face red.

How did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string?

How did you learn everything that comes along with slavish funnery?

Tell me something, if the world is so insane, is it making you sane again to let another man tug at the thread that pulls up your nodding head?

How did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string?

How do you manage to live inside this tiny stage you can’t leave?

Tell me something, if the world is so insane, is it making you sane again to let another man tug at the thread that pulls up your nodding head?

A dullard strung on the wire.

When the master’s gone you hang there with your eyes and your limbs so lifeless.

How did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string?

How do you manage to speak, your mouth a frozen grin?

A dullard strung on the wire.

When the master’s gone you hang there with your eyes and your limbs so lifeless.

Tell me something, if the world is so insane, is it making you sane again to let another man tug at the thread that pulls up your empty wooden head?

Your hollow head, your marble eyes, your wooden hands and your metal jaw pins all wait in limbo for the man who knows how to move you this way.

There is nothing “strange” about Obama’s fear of talking to reporters. It’s perfectly justified fear. But it is not a fear of the reporters; it’s a fear of Obama himself. Obama knows he’s a fraud, with a vastly overrated intellect, and he’s afraid (and rightfully so) that he may slip up and say something so outrageously ignorant that even his lapdogs in the media can’t make it right for him (although they will make every possible effort to do so).

Well, you must admit that they did an A+ job in Censoring his “You didn’t build that!” remark last year.

You’d think those “reporters” would be used to it by now. Maybe if they stopped genuflecting before asking questions, things might improve.

Think about the implications of this. This is sickness at the highest levels of our government.

The simplicity of the weekly standard article has Allahpundit Snark subtext all over it.

Richard Epstein, the Peter and Kirsten Bedford Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law, New York University Law School, and a senior lecturer at the University of Chicago, and a former Obama supporter and a GENUINE intellectual nailed him this way,

“Obama’s not an intellectual; what he is is adept at mimicking the mannerisms of an intellectual”.

They are doing it again with the Obama Sequestration. The media is colluding with Obama to frame the Republicans for these draconian budget cuts that Obama himself created.

Yeah but when it comes to sequestration it isn’t working. We’ll have to see if that holds over time as the worthless parasites that support Obama find that their checks are less than they think they are entitled to or their Obamaphones don’t work. But for the time being, the fact that the Dems want to raise taxes just a month after getting massive tax increases on the middle class makes the commies vulnerable.

Exactly, they are not supporting Obama because they like him, they are supporting him and protecting him because he is following a political agenda that parallels their own political agenda.

I believe this is partially true. But don’t forget the foundational battle cry of the O Admin — Republicans hate black people, Hispanics, women, children, etc. His media is infatuated with the race baiting. I believe O’s skin color is the major reason the media refuse to say anything critical or assign any blame.

BTW, Reggie Love was seen by numerous people getting off Air Force One well after Obama deplaned. He was not on the official White House vacation guest list. No MSM reporter even asked about this, all they wanted to know was how Obama did playing golf with Tiger Woods.

rockmom on February 19, 2013 at 1:03 PM

Just as long as it wasn’t Mia Love. That would break my heart.

Many reporters find Obama himself strangely fearful of talking with them and often aloof and cocky when he does.

It’s no accident that Obama is so pathetically dependent on his teleprompters and scripts. He avoids speaking extemporaneously whenever possible, especially when he does not have the opportunity to know in advance what the subject matter will be. And even when he has advance knowledge of the subject to be discussed, Obama usually does not speak well off the cuff. He tends to blather on with buzzwords and cliches, repeating himself frequently, stuttering, and often making assertions that are either demonstrably inaccurate, or just flat-out nonsensical (“Obamacare will reduce some peoples’ insurance premiums by as much as 3000%!”).

give SNL a free market pass on laying off Obama. Their job is to get ratings and Obama is the Messiah to the age group that might watch SNL. Other Presidents were not and they were of the White Male variety that are in the eyes of the young the great idiots who get to run things anyway from their indoctrination. If I worked for SNL my first obligation is to give the audience what they want and criticizing Obama is not what they want. Making fun of Palin who doesn’t believe in free love? Another story, in her case the insecure youth had to comfort themselves like with a White Male President.

Really? I mean, they have parodied Martin Luther King, Jr. and Jesus Christ this season. But they can find nothing to parody Barack Obama for?

Candy Crowley made Mitt Romney look like a liar in front on 65 million people. She chose the questions, she chose who answered them, she chose who went first, she asked David Axelrod the same question on her show. There is no doubt there was coordination there, at least in my mind. A free press would never do that, Pravda and Izvestia would.

bflat879 on February 19, 2013 at 12:49 PM

More importantly, IMO, she lied her ass off when the rat-eared pig got stuck. She put down the bucket of fried chicken and just “coincidentally” had the transcript from the Rose Garden speech of 9/12/12. From which, she catagorically stated that the bastard said something that he did not. That is more than making him look like a liar, that is collusion.

Which is why I think in 2016 the GOP should demand that not one “journalist” be given the honor of moderating a debate. They have proven themselves nothing but left-wing propagandists. The debates should be moderated by ordinary Americans asking questions of the candidates.

Exactly, they are not supporting Obama because they like him, they are supporting him and protecting him because he is following a political agenda that parallels their own political agenda.

SWalker on February 19, 2013 at 1:08 PM

Oh, it is much more than that, they are very personally invested in Obama’s success as a person. Whatever he does becomes their preferred policy and political agenda.
