Press Secretary Robert Gibbs showing his maturity

here for blog by Robert Gardner of the UK Telegraph Robert Gibbs should apologize

example: Increasingly, millions of Americans are turning to online UK news websites for cutting edge reports on American politics and U.S. foreign policy that the mainstream media refuses to cover in the States, especially if it is unflattering to the Obama White House.

example: Congratulations Gibbs - you've just made an enemy out of the entire British media, quite an achievement for the man in charge of selling the President's message.

Obama as Narcissus and the Mainstream Media as Echo

here for Narcissus and Echo: Obama and the Mainstream Media Robert B. Johnson for The American Thinker

example: It is troubling that our president is a pathological narcissist caught up in the thought patterns of Darwin, Marx, and Alinsky. Even more troubling is the fact that the Mainstream Media (MSM), suffering from an Obama-inspired narcosis, shirks its duty, refusing to publish or even explore any aspect of Obama's dark side.

another example: Obama may be clever, as all Narcissists are, but he is not an enlightened man. The enlightened man seeks truth. Obama craves adulation, his essential narcissistic supply. His cleverness and charm operate in the service of his pathology's foremost commandment: See me in the same grandiose way I see myself.

The emasculation of the United States

here for Limp Legacy of the Wet and Weak by Wesley Pruden for the Washington Times.

example: The president is the master of demographic politics, playing the race card in a way that no one else could. Miss Sotomayor was presented not first as a jurist distinguished by learning and accomplishment, but as a Latina, a woman of empathy and delicate sensibility. He's counting on male gallantry, if not male timidity, to carry the day. (Emphasis mine.)

another example: We won't need judges, just social workers damp with empathy.

I like Dick Cheney

Dick Cheney: brutal, uncompromising, brilliant by Nile Gardiner for the [UK] Telegraph

sample: He's dominated much of the news with his barnstorming defence of the previous administration's counter-terrorism strategy, and completely overshadowed President Obama's weak-kneed and exceedingly dull speech at the National Archives

Obama's compulsive self-referential ego

But Enough About Me by William Kristol for The Weekly Standard

sample:
Doesn't Obama's self-regard sometimes seem greater than his regard for the position he occupies? Does he understand that the office of the presidency is bigger--much bigger--than he is? Or does Obama think of the presidency primarily as a vessel through which to exercise his political gifts and pursue his personal achievements?

Slick Willy, Slick Barry--some powerful comparisons

here
for Slick Barry by Bruce Walker for The American Thinker

an example:

Watch how "Barry" behaves. Listen to his words. Ignore the inflection in his voice, his body language, his facial expressions, the fawning media, and all the distractions of meaning: listen to his words. He says nothing, just as Bill Clinton said nothing, and if you aren't really paying attention, it sounds good.

A very good, I think, critique of contemporary aetheism.

"My problem with atheists is their tiresome -- and way old -- insistence that they are being oppressed and their fixation with the fine points of Christianity."
