Neo-Neocon has the details, and then figures why:
It’s not just that Obama lied, it’s the obviousness of the mendacity. There’s no wriggle room on this one; anyone who’s been paying any attention for the last two years knows it’s a bald-faced lie. And in addition, there’s been no explanation for it, and no excuses. The administration is simply ignoring the lie as though it doesn’t matter, and insulting the press in the bargain. This makes pundits who liked and supported Obama look foolish, and they don’t like to look that way. Thus, the anger—it’s personal now.
We’ll see how far it spreads. Unfortunately, most of the MSM is quite servile in outlook. They want a master, and so they set up whomever is in charge of liberalism as their master and then they just fall all over themselves defending the guy. But, there are clearly some rumblings among that part of liberalism which has at least some spirit.
I’d like to ask a question of our liberals – and, please, give us an honest answer. When Obama set himself up as some sort of Roman Emperor for his acceptance speech in 2008, did any of you cringe?
I pegged Obama as the nominee back in September of 2007 – it was obvious that the un-Bush was going to get the Democrat nomination, and Obama was the most un-Bush there was, other than Kucinich, and he’s just too kooky. But I really didn’t expect him to win. I mean, the guy is clearly out of his depth. Its a matter of thinking, “ok,Mark Noonan, are you ready to be President?”. As I could only answer “no” for myself and saw that Obama had far less real world and executive experience than I did, I just couldn’t see anyone other than dyed-in-the-wool liberals falling for the scam.
But, hey, a majority did. Amazes me to this day. Right up to the end, I thought that common sense would triumph – but, 2008 showed that if you work things just right and get a few breaks, the most stupid things can happen even when they are easily preventable. Its like a train wreck happened because we decided not to put on the breaks even though we had plenty of time to do it and good reason to think we needed to.
