Warm air, Hugh – can’t you do better? After foolishly beating the drum for Romney, now when this amazing inflatable & holographic person Obama is hovering towards you, you lower the flag in tears.
It is wrong to address the millenials in liberal media’s crappy terms – flattery and unwarranted pity (it used to be Tom Hayden’s act raving about his son’s brilliancy – now you’re in a HuffPo state of mind, too).
Millenials are by no means smarter, more that or that than the precedent generations. They are not more brilliant and not more informed than their predecesors – actually, considering the easiness of aquiring information nowdays, they are less equipped for critical thinking than previous generations and they know less
(here I factor out ecological misticism, sexuality, tolerance, non-judgmentalism, cultural relativism, open-mindedness and electronic chatter proclivity). This is a serious reality colleges have for quite a while acknowledged, and the Millenials’ collective swoon for Obama confirms this “lack of critical spirit” situation.
As far as Obama’s qualities: my, he’s an operator, a total hologram! And to describe his rapid ascendance I’ll paraphrase late Sony Bono description of rock critics: “People who can’t write, writing about people who can’t sing, for people who can’t read anyway”.
Since Obama is a showman, I’ll replace “can’t sing” by “unfit for the job” and here comes the proper description of the circumstances which unfortunately (still) preside over Obama’s ascension:
“People who can’t write (liberal media), fawning about people unfit for the job, for people who can’t understand anything, anyway.” (liberals, lefties & Millenials, i.e.)
Wake up Hewitt!
