He campaigns as epitomizing the new, improved 21st Century swaggering, informed and egalitarian emperor of the free world. Obama underscores how he and his cohorts are the only reasonable alternative to evil, racist white old boy networks. As a “person of color,” he, and only he, can save America from itself. He, and only he, can lead America to the Promised Land, a land where, with him as role model and tutor-in-chief, we all learn to relate with dignity and respect.
That, however, is not quite the picture that emerges in the newly released Confidence Men: Wall Street, Washington, and the Education of a President.” The author, Ron Suskind, asserts that White House insiders paint a most unflattering picture of Obama and his administration. Suskind views Barack’s brigade as roiling with dissension and discord. He refers to a gaping leadership void, quoting Larry Summer, past White House economic adviser, as complaining, “There’s no adult in charge. Clinton would never have made these mistakes.” And as for equality, Suskind says that Anita Dunn, Obama’s former communications director, views the administration as sufficiently depraved to“… actually fit all of the classic legal requirements for a genuinely hostile workplace to women.”
Barack Obama lacks leadership and is hostile to women—sounds like Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign. Obama builds his White House around his notion of elitist masculine identity—consistent with Barack’s predilection for filling his cabinet and advisory positions with male Ivy-Leaguers from Chicago and the Northeast. And, as for accomplishments, recall the 2008 presidential campaign when Obama was criticized as having nothing to offer but rhetoric and his responding, “Don’t tell me words don’t matter! ‘I have a dream.’ Just words. ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’ Just words! …”
You also may remember how the Hillary Clinton coalition exposed the Obamafuscation and mendacity. To be specific, Howard Wolfson, Clinton's communications director, outed Barack Obama for having plagiarized the quote from a 2006 speech by the now Massachusetts governor, Deval Patrick.
Could this blog merely be a thinly disguised political ad for Hillary Clinton?
