NRO Dildo Has Been Accurately Predicting President Obama's Failures Since March '08
In an effort to be "objective" and feel like "a big deal," the Washington Political Press has decided Barack Obama's 16-day presidency is in Crisis Mode, possibly collapsingexactly like Nixon, late in his second term, right now! The evidence, so far, consists of Obama doing pretty much everything he said would be done in the first days of his first four-year term, including signing several symbolic/significant bills and orders, appointing three actual Republicans to his Cabinet, and steamrolling an epic Economic Stimulus package through Congress that will (in whatever final form) be the most ambitious thing of its kind since the New Deal. So, uh, FAIL?
Even tossing back three big-name would-be Cabinet members because of their respective tax, nanny and political mini-scandals back home seems, ultimately, to be a good if sad thing for a young president trying to balance the High Moral Calling of Change with the real-world necessity of having serious policy people who can twist arms and bang heads on Capitol Hill.
So who can elitist Washington journalists turn to for PROOF that Obama has already failed 1,000% at everything, forever? How about some dingbatNational Review Onlineblogger who is consistently wrong abouteverything, always, but somehow gets a pass because he used to teach history and lives on a raisin farm in Fresno?
Victor Davis Hanson, come on down!
As we've already mentioned, because we apparently fall for this bullshit too, Hanson wrote some Very Serious Blog Post on the goofy-retard website The Corner, and now Obama should pretty much resign, because this Hanson fellow is a fanatic George W. Bush supporter and is, by the very Authority of Western Civilization, the only person who can judge the success or failure of Obama's presidency, which began two weeks ago to great fanfare and much enthusiasm and continues to be wildly popular with, uhm, Americans, even though they've suffered through 16 days of scandal and horror unseen since the Reign of Caligula and/or Nero, but blacker.
There is only one small problem with using a wingnutNROblogger as the barometer of Obama's presidential success: Victor Davis Hanson has been regularly announcing the complete, dismal failure of Barack Obama's presidency sinceMarch of last year.Each and every time, Hanson has been wrong. No matter the historical analogy that might or might not been relevant, no matter the educated certainty of the tone -- he sounds pretty smart next to mouth-breathing fartsacks like Jonah Goldberg or Kathryn Jean Lopez! -- the endless hopeful predictions of Obama's failure never manage to actually come true. But keep trying, Victor! Even a broken clock needs to be thrown in the fucking trash.
The Economisthas helpfully collected this dude's constant death knells for Obama going back to the primary battles, and it's all pretty hilarious ... until you remember that the Liberal Main Stream Media is looking to guys like Hanson for "perspective." Jesus fucking christ.
