Why I am Starting to Like Obama
Why am I starting to like Obama? Because he has finally managed to show people who he really is. It happened just a day or two ago. Pat Sajak put it well when he said that the President’s off-hand, anti-entrepreneurial comment was a revelatory cornucopia:
It’s as if President Obama climbed into a tank, put on his helmet, talked about how his foray into Cambodia was seared in his memory, looked at his watch, misspelled “potato” and pardoned Richard Nixon all in the same day.
Yes, that’s about right. And Sajak is also right that “Defining moments in politics are strange beasts. Sometimes they’re only recognized in hindsight, while sometimes they throw the train off the tracks before a sentence has been completed. Sometimes their effect can be contained and minimized, while sometimes their effect on the political narrative mestastasizes. This one is very bad for the White House.”
As the Heavy Dragoon chorus in Patience put it: “Yes, Yes,, Yes, Yes, Yes!”

YES!
Why did he feel the need to say this at all? The RoboLiberals didn’t need to hear it. It may fit his ideological preconceptions but it has no strategic value to his campaign. Michael Barone suggests it might be blamed on a malfunctioning, but it looks to me to be simple stupidity.
He spells his name S a j a k…two a’s, no e.
He has “finally managed to show people who he really is”? You mean it wasn’t clear after the contraceptive mandate, or Ocare, or the beer summit, or Joe the Plumber, or Rev. Wright, or “charter of negative liberties…redistributive justice”, or the coming-out party chez Ayers, or “behind enemy lines”, or any of a hundred other monstrous leftisms in his brief but extraordinarily hyped political career?
The problem is not that people don’t know but that evidently this stuff doesn’t bother them.
A “Eureka” moment…..
