March Diary
Month-end wrap-up.
By John Derby****re
Obama fatigue. This was the month I realized how much I dislike Barack
Obama. I have known since he first appeared on the national stage, of
course, that he is a 1980s-college-lefty-radical, and that was
obnoxious enough in itself. Since the Jeremiah Wright flap came up, I
have fleshed out that initial aversion with what I believe to be some
true insights into the Barack Obama personality.
For example:
(1) "Post-racial" fiddlesticks. This is a man whose head is so empty
of anything with real substance, he has filled it with a lifelong
obsession about his own n=E9gritude.
The fact of his being half-African is endlessly interesting to Obama.
Heck, he wrote a book about it. No, dang it, I haven't read the book,
nor ever shall; but enough extracts from it have now been aired to
give me the aforementioned insights into Obama's soul. He's a puffed-
up, self-obsessed, spoiled middle-class brat.
(2) His ****fty reaction to the Wright business was all wrong.
Defiant truthfulness would have got my attention: "Yes,
that's what his sermons are like, all right. Been listening to them
for years. I pretty much agree with him. If you have a problem with
it, don't vote for me."
Even a Clintonian Big Lie would have just left me smiling and
shaking my head at the, well, audacity of it: "Good heavens! I have
never been in the pews when anything like that was said! I had no idea
my pastor was capable of such vulgarity! I have resigned from the
church, and shall no longer be associated with it in any way. I am
shocked, shocked."
What we got instead was a ****fty, lawyerish, Obamian weenie lie,
enveloped in clouds of gassy uplift-rhetoric. Feugh!
This kind of thing doesn't just make me puke, it would have made any
honest-to-goodness old-style lefty puke too. Can you imagine Eugene
Debs or Norman Thomas or Woody Guthrie sitting straight-faced through
an Obama speech? Let alone giving one. The sooner this preening
neurotic poseur gets his electoral comeuppance, the better.
