The decline and fall of Barack Obama

Posted on by

10 reasons for the disintegration of the Chosen One:

  1. The Obama presidency is out of touch with the American people
  2. Most Americans don’t have confidence in the president’s leadership
  3. Obama fails to inspire
  4. The United States is drowning in debt
  5. Obama’s Big Government message is falling flat
  6. Obama’s support for socialised health care is a huge political mistake
  7. Obama’s handling of the Gulf oil spill has been weak-kneed and indecisive
  8. US foreign policy is an embarrassing mess under the Obama administration
  9. President Obama is muddled and confused on national security
  10. Obama doesn’t believe in American greatness

The details are worth reading, but I think the omitted number 11 is the most important reason: Obama is a fraud. He is a creation of the age of the teleprompter, the image obsessed, the fantasy speech writer, the sound bite; he is a brand mirage, a digital construct, a free floating  avatar un-rooted in objective reality.

The Obama that was elected doesn’t actually exist.
