Spot On

I haven't posted much lately about all the scandals, the shenanigans happening to Obama and his minions.  One reason is I can barely keep up.  I mean, it's like a deluge.  A comedy...no, a tragedy.  I can never remember such bumbling...such willful disdain...such arrogance.  I've certainly posted plenty of times since I started the blog about my disappointment with Obama.  So much potential...so little to show for it.  The other reason I haven't posted much is that there are others far more eloquent than me who do this for a living.  One guy who makes a lot of sense to me in his writings is Victor Davis Hansen.  I came across something he wrote recently and thought to myself that I could have written it...if I could write that well.  You can read it here.  This article just hits the nail on the head.  There are a ton of good quotes but this really resonates with me:

"Never has a president so mastered the teleprompter — no easy task in itself — with just the right pauses, followed with a timely ratcheting up of passion, punctuated with a half-smile, a grimace, a laugh. Never has a president mastered both the art of empty bluster and the art of bowing. Never has a president so mastered the patois and cadences of an intended audience: with corporate CEOs, he sounds like a Ivy League Citibank exec; with foreign-policy types, he can out-authenticate the multicultural experts with accentuation like “the Taleeeban” and “Pakeeestan.” Among African-Americans, he drops his g’s, affects the slight drawl of the South, inserts an old-time Southern colloquialism, and follows the mannerisms of a Rev. Wright thundering at Trinity Church ^[1]. Among Latinos, the “r” is rolled, and accent marks fall in the proper places, better than any third-generation Latino evening-television newsreader."
