Noonan: when the Left stop supporting Obama


In a backwards stance, it seems the planet is falling down all about our ears:

That said, when Peggy Noonan in a WSJ Editorial calls Mr Obama “creepy,” and writes that “Obama increasingly comes across as devious and dishonest,” the paradigm and the narrative and the meme has somehow changed:

What is happening is that the president is coming across more and more as a trimmer, as an operator who’s not operating in good faith. This is hardening positions and leading to increased political bitterness. And it’s his fault, too. As an increase in polarization is a bad thing, it’s a big fault.

Events of just the past 10 days have contributed to the shift. There was the open-mic conversation with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in which Mr. Obama pleaded for “space” and said he will have “more flexibility” in his negotiations once the election is over and those pesky voters have done their thing. On tape it looked so bush-league, so faux-sophisticated. When he knew he’d been caught, the president tried to laugh it off by comically covering a mic in a following meeting. It was all so . . . creepy.

If you jumped into a time machine to the day after the election, in November, 2012, and saw a headline saying “Obama Loses,” do you imagine that would be followed by widespread sadness, pain and a rending of garments? You do not. Even his own supporters will not be that sad. It’s hard to imagine people running around in 2014 saying, “If only Obama were president!” Including Mr. Obama, who is said by all who know him to be deeply competitive, but who doesn’t seem to like his job that much. As a former president he’d be quiet, detached, aloof. He’d make speeches and write a memoir laced with a certain high-toned bitterness. It was the Republicans’ fault. They didn’t want to work with him.

This is a, truly, devastating piece. And yet an honest piece. Noonan was an early ObamaCon from the start and then, now, with her newest editorial, she writes from a position that indicates a visceral disagreement.

Not good for Mr Obama.

OBAMA HYPOCRISY: two white students killed by black; Obama SILENT

Parents of murdered British students criticise Barack Obama

The parents of two British students murdered in Florida have criticised President Barack Obama for his lack of compassion over their son’s deaths.

Check the article at the UK Telegraph.com.

But the overarching and larger question remains, in terms of considering the current situation with Trayvon Martin in Florida:

What is it that makes Trayvon Martin more “valuable” — a single life — to our American President as opposed to the two lives of visiting UK students?

You and I both know the answer: political racial fodder. As the article indicates:

It would perhaps appear that Mr Obama sees no political value in facilitating such a request or that the lives of two British tourists are not worthy of ten minutes of his time.”

Mr Obama can make more political hay over the death of a 17-year-old black male than he can over two elitist, spoiled, junket-traveling UK white kids.

Finally, allow me to get even more base: Mr Obama claims he is black and panders to blacks. He can conjure a bit of black patois when he wishes and can conjure complete Caucasoid speech when he wishes, at command. This hypocrisy arises solely because, in my opinion, Mr Obama is at his core a racist who favors blacks, plain and simple — though he cannot be so plain as to alarm the bulk of Brain-Dead America.

He lets Eric Holder do his prejudiced works as well.

So: a shock that a racist 17-year-old black convicted murderer is shuttled aside in favor of a 17-year-old black male “victim” placed on the DEM/MSM proverbial “front street”?

This should come as no shock whatsoever.

Mr Obama, in my opinion, is a racist who plays to racial black-favored politics, plain and simple. Don’t listen to his stilted words, America. Watch what he does or, in this case, doesn’t do.
