Did Obama Dupe America?

Reading Paul Starobin's recent opinion in 'The Washington Post' titled 'Don't expect Obama to be Superman' " America needs to grow up -- some problems elude even the most powerful people." is a bit of misplaced indignation (: anger aroused by something unjust  or unworthy) Webster. Placing any blame on the American people for having over, exceptionalized (my word) President Obama's abilities to that of Superman, come on Paul, Superman is a comic book hero, we know that, the question should be, do most of America's journalist know?

 

If Americans as Mr. Starobin's says "Americans are his culpable enablers." of Obama's Superman image, thus setting him up for failure, Paul's words "Why can't President Obama stop the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico? Why can't he get the Israelis and Palestinians to stop squabbling and make peace? Why can't he get the Europeans to contribute more troops to fight the Taliban in Afghanistan? Why can't he forge a global treaty to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases?" Well Mr. Starobin, it's because Americans were duped. Simple as said, duped. A beautiful campaign full of promises, an amazing comprehensive use of the internet (to this day) and Supernatural like charismatic statements "Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek"(President Obama)February 2008. Unfortunately, for us all, the "we" turns out to have been 'I'm the one you've been waiting for.' The campaign slogan of 'Change you can believe in' turned out to be 'Change, I believe in.' We were given the hope of a savior, and simply got an immature narcissus of a sort.

 

All over the net, you are reading Maureen Dowd's critique of President Obama "The former constitutional lawyer now in the White House understands that the press has a role in the democracy. But he is an elitist, too, as well as thin-skinned and controlling. So he ends up regarding scribes as intrusive, conveying a distaste for what he sees as the fundamental unseriousness of a press driven by blog-around-the-clock deadlines." calling the President a "crybaby." And the shoe fits. Sorry Paul Starobin, your comment on the American people needing to grow up and give some room (patience) for Obama to do his job...does not wash here at the Daily Quack, nor resonates with the citizens of America.

 

Starobin points out FDR and President Reagan's failures, as a way to show no president has been or could possibly be a superman. However, presidents Reagan and FDR never posed themselves as 'The One' nor carried on their shoulders the aura of elitism. This President squalors in it. And yes, it is nasty, dirty and shameful the way this president looks down, rather than out on to the people of this, the greatest nation on earth, for his guidance. We've been duped.

Juvenile Propagandistic Journalism at AZ Republic...What's New?

Propaganda is, what it is, nasty, distasteful, and when written by an editor of the largest newspaper in the state of Arizona, it’s shameful and dishonest. When a headline news article is opinionated, misleading and irresponsible to the point it could very well incite good people on both sides of the immigration debate to anger and potential crimes against one another, it is more than propaganda, its militant writing. And I hold the Arizona Republic accountable for what it may incite. God willing, people from all fronts of the Immigration issue who even bother to read the Front Page Headline article written by Alia Beard Rau, titled "Immigration law's broad wording has legal Arizona residents worried"  in Sunday's Arizona Republic. Will see through its militant propagandistic language and trash it for what it is, bird cage paper for a collection of foul dung.

 

Shame on Rau, shame on the Arizona Republic Newspaper, this article abuses Rau's right to Freedom of Speech, and once and for all eliminates any question as to the Arizona Republic's Left Fanatical lean or not. Alas, we know it leans baby, it leans. Alia Beard Rau is the Tempe/Ahwatukee editor for the Arizona Republic/The Tempe Republic, reasoning the front page spot given Alia's article, and the Position held at the AZ Republic Newspaper, Alia speaks for the paper. Too bad, too sad, wish we all had red ruby shoes with heels, we could click together back to a time the Arizona Republic was a fair, well rounded newspaper and not the rag it has become.

 

Read for yourself Rau's propagandistic trash and tell me if I am wrong, but I think not. I won't even dignify Rau's trash with a point by point debate, if you bother to read it, then you'll know, rebuttal is not necessary.

When does the Federal Government Act?

NPR(National Public Radio) once again treats us lower class citizens as though, we are lower class NPR commentator Marc Acito graciously demonstrated this overall National Public Radio's ostentatiousness, on Thursday's All Things Considered. Poking fun of the syntactic style of FDR and Sarah Palin the intended target of his criticism, on what this self described musical geek calls 'Eliza Doolittle Day.' Referring to Sarah Palin as an 'Eliza Doolittle'(The story concerns Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl who takes speech lessons from professor Henry Higgins, a phoneticist, so she can pass as a lady.) And 'All Things Considered host Michele Norris makes it clear "This is the kind of unofficial holiday that only musical fans would know about," granted that may be true, but I get the feeling Norris and Acito believe us lower class citizens could never be musical fans. Ah to say Dr. Quack is lower class. Moreover, a big musical fan since early duckhood. And 'My Fair Lady'(from which the Eliza Doolittle character comes from) is one of the best.

 

Let me retreat to 'When Does the Federal Government Act,' Sarah Palin made her point on Sunday past with Chris Wallace May 23, 2010, with some true grit the former Alaskan Governor made it clear the Obama Administration should have acted with all due diligence with regard to the BP Gulf oil spill cleanup. Sarah Palin is far from the first to offer this opinion, but is surely the most profiled person to date to do so. And I might add, kudos for Palin taking the stand, eloquent or not.

 

I've heard cable news commentators of stature water down the administration’s response to the oil spill asking, should we have expected President Obama on the shoreline immediately with a mop and bucket... No, but I did expect because the Spill occurred in water under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, for the Federal Government to have reacted with more intention. They did not, President Obama reacted in the same manner, he has handled every issue, with self-serving political mumbo jumbo instead of listening and serving the people giving us not everything we ask for, but rather as the leader of this the greatest nation on earth, protection and assistance with the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.

 

Instead President Obama gave the good citizens of the gulf, political jargonistic rhetoric, with a finger pointing, smooth talk and problems with apparent short term memory when it comes to promises, like action, change and security for all the people of America. When does or when should the Federal Government act in the case of an oil spill as in the BP Gulf oil spill, IMMEDIATELY, that's when.

 

It's hard to believe that with one call the President of the United States could not enlist the help of every major corporation, organization, scientific group and every international ally in stopping the oil leak, then the relative clean up. We explore the depths of the little known seas of earth and probe for water on the moon, but we can't stop an oil leak on the ocean floor created by man. President Obama seems to not have the mojo he so boastfully said he had winning the Presidential election in 2008. From NASA to every major university and allies around the world, the President should have asked for help day one, hour one to solve a problem that is of interest to the entire globe. This is what the President could have done immediately and is certainly, relatively good at. Don't dare to give me the answer back, how do you know he didn't make put the personal call out?  He did not. The proof is in the pudding.

 

So what does the President do?  He plays the blame game enforcing by way of political, populist and international pressure on BP to shoulder full responsibility for stopping and cleaning up the oil spill disaster. Yes BP is responsible, but in cases of impending cost and disaster to the people of America, the federal Government with all its resources should be putting those resources to use and availability to BP. Send the bill later. Save our coast, stop the campaign style politics and for heaven’s sake stop the blame game, in disasters, there is no immediate blame, but should be immediate cooperation with due diligence in resolving the disaster NOW!

Additional note: I completed this blog early Sunday morning and well before the airing of Meet the Press and other Sunday News programs, but held up publishing until I had the chance to review each of Sunday’s special news programs. On Meet the Press with David Gregory, Carol Browner the Administration’s top environmental advisor commenting on the oil spill, said that the government is responding with the largest environmental mobilization effort ever. There are 150 scientists on the case, 1400 vessels working on the oil sick coming ashore and much more. This is all news President Obama should be proud of announcing.

However, five weeks down the road from when the spill occurred, it’s about time we heard what the government is doing and or that the government is now doing something at all. One of the biggest issues I have with President Obama is his seemingly off of center definition of what government transparency means. And that was why so many voted for him, the promise of change and transparency in Washington, well the change has been a switch to Chicago style politics, where transparency is a merge of misdirection and illusion of what realty may be or is.

We can all pray; that what Browner and President Obama are doing will resolve the BP oil spill and clean-up, by expeditiously mobilizing all America’s and her allies’ resources to the gulf’s aid.
