Through The Past, Creepily
By Mitch Berg
David Harsanyi at Human Events has ht a retrospective on the “highlights” of the Obama Personality Cult.
Of course, it’s his socialist and anti-market philosophy that I really dislike about the guy. But the personality cult he and his handlers built around himself always seemed vaguely…
…North Korean?
That’s one word for it.
I’ll say this – even if I were still a liberal, this would have made me extremely uncomfortable. And yes, that is a bipartisan thing; a lot of Ron Paul supporters are a little less messianic, but not much less personality-focused.
Read Harsanyi’s whole piece.

Totally different from you loonies with St. Ronnie. Totally different.

Gee, clown, I don’t recall seeing phalanxes of elementary school children singing ‘Reagan’s gonna change the world’ to their dewey-eyed elders, or Socialist Realist iconography of the candidate plastered over every flat surface. So yeah, different.

If you leave aside the pointedly-ironic homages – like the “Che”-style T-shirt with Reagan’s picture I used to have – then yeah, it’s about as different as can be.
Unless you can find me a school that made the kids pledge allegiance to Reagan, of course.

All of the “St Ronnie” stuff developed after Reagan was out of office, so Mr. Clown is correct, it is totally different.
When this idiot is out of office, his cult will disappear.

Mmm mmm mmm, Barack Hussein Obama.

Point out something true and embarrassing about dear leader and the lefty trolls have to change the subject. Or call you a racist. They can’t refute it.
And yeah, it is super creepy. Anyone seen the “write paeans to Obama on your hands and post a pic of it” thing?
What’s next, praying to a poster of the guy and posting a pic of that?

And how about that new flag, with the O symbol replacing the stars?
Holy crap, the guy is in LOVE with himself.

You have to see the Creepy Obama Kids video where they finish it up by showing Creepy Hitler Kids film singing in their classroom an almost identical song, but that one worshipping The One from 1938 Germany.
Also, no “Nancy and Ronald Reagan” elementry schools while President Reagan was in office.

Little kids don’t get dewey-eyed over Darth Vader either, MNBoob. That’s more you angry, fat old white dudes.
But it’s true. Lots of people like President Obama. While your guy, Willard M. Romney, seems to be pursuing a different goal. Not exactly clear what it is, but he’s gotta have some plan in mind, don’t you think?
September 21st, 2012 at 2:18 pm
Lots of people like President Obama.
And lots of people like Pat Sajak.
Doesn’t mean either of them should be setting policy.

“Lots of people like President Obama.”
“And lots of people like Pat Sajak.”
Give Pat Sajak some credit – at least he’s good at what he does and gets the job done. President Obama? Not so much. He even admits he can’t get anything done from the ‘inside’ in his Univision interview. Yes we can? No he couldn’t.
Obama doesn’t even listen well (to any voice other than his own). A Univision questioner preambles his question to the President with the fact that Obama had majorities in both houses of Congress and then asks why Obama couldn’t get anything done on immigration reform during that time. Obama’s answer – well, the other side were trying to get me out of office from the day I was sworn in. Yeah, blame the other side – that had no ability to stop you – when your administration proposed no legislation, offered no leadership and spent most of its energy on immigration related issues on record setting deportation activity.

You have to admit, Pat looks less like a game show host than Willard Mitt does.
September 21st, 2012 at 6:39 pm
You have to admit, Pat Sajak looks more presidential then President Affirmative Action himself.
September 21st, 2012 at 7:34 pm
jimf, you aren’t saying that Obama was an affirmative action admit, are you? Cuz’ that’s racist, even if Obama says the same thing:
Strange that this letter disappeared from the HLR website shortly after it appeared. Thank God for the ol’ wayback machine:

You should read the whole thing. It is both poorly written — bad usage — and uses a lot of fancy words where simple words would do. Very much like a mediocre undergrad at a second tier liberal arts college, not a 3L and president of HLR.
“Mediocre undergrad at a second tier liberal arts college” was probably Obama’s peak level of performance back in 1990. Unfortunately for America, it describes his performance 2008-20012 as well.

Terry, while I am not as opposed to Obama as the rest of you, 2008-20012 seems a bit too long… 😉
