What Do The Judges Think?
link Voters’ anxiety clouds Obama’s historic successes – USATODAY.com.
This article and those like it remind me of dry heaves. Just as you think you have experienced the last of the horrible nauseating feeling, another wave overtakes you more excruciating than the last because you are spent from fighting the symptoms of nausea. Let’s put a label on this and call if for what it is, ODDS, or Obama Deity Derangement Syndrome.
While understandable during an election campaign to attribute other world capabilities to a favored candidate, surely after almost 2 years in office and undeniably mishandling ALL of the major issues during that time, you have to be delusional to continue to trumpet the skills and accomplishments of someone so utterly incapable of the job. This is a real life Monty Python movie. This is not a political observation, this is a business observation. In the real world, success is measured by results not spin. The administration can claim no achievements during their time spent at the control levers of the nation. Virtually all of the campaign promises so naively accepted during the campaign have been broken or will be.
Politics as usual, certainly, but never before in the history of the nation have policies been so blindly administered purely for reasons of ideology and with such blatant disregard for practical consequences. Regardless of this however, most of the media still get weak at the knees when describing the soaring achievements of the White House. Well, it’s time we got the opinion of those that really matter, those who can coldly judge without the added spin. The judges from American Idol and Dancing With The Stars weigh in with their assessments:
Bruno: A decent performance, you have flair and your presentation is professional, but you need to express more emotion and passion. You are a bit like a shopping cart being pushed around by your handlers. 5.
Len: Well the Presidency is a very tough role and some are suited to it and some are not. This is probably not your best role, community organizer is a better fit perhaps. Let’s just say you did your best and move on. 5.
Carrie Ann: Well the moves were a bit stilted and definitely lacked any passion. I think that at this stage in your position, you should be more clearly expressing the will of your constituents, but I see conflicts with your natural inclinations. It still looks very mechanical and the teleprompters don’t help. 5.
Simon: For me, that was just awful. (boooo in the background) Clearly this role is not suited for you. I think you picked the wrong role and you have the wrong backup people, I see you more comfortable battling authority than being authority. We need to see you more as yourself rather than trying to fit into a free market capitalist disguise.
Paula: Week after week you come on here and I just love your suit and haircut and I agree with Simon that this is probably not your best, but you look wonderful and I think you tried real hard with what you had to work with and you have a good stage presence and dress well every week and just try to be yourself and be the star that you are and your suits look good and maybe your next role is more suitable and I’m a fan and I just love you.
Randy: For me dude, it was just a’ight. I don’t feel it man. I get the feeling you are trying to be someone you really aren’t. Dude, if you want to be a socialist, just say so and get real. I don’t think this capitalist free market gig is your bag.
Geez, tough reviews. I wonder if he’ll survive the next round of voting.
Who knew you were such an afficionado of quality TV programs? The sad thing is I recognized all the reality show references in your article so it’s obvious I should get out more. I suspect that Bush Jr. may have actually used these shows as his primary intellectual resource.
