His lips are moving, but do you hear what he says? Do you wonder sometimes WHO Obama is talking to these days? The NYTimes, Washington Post, the Newshour, et al, do not cover this administration.
Spoke to a Dem friend yesterday who was unaware of the school speech controversy, unaware of flag@whitehouse.gov (hence also unaware of flatulent@whitehouse.gov!) and didn't recognize the names of Holdren and Ezekiel Emanuel -- yet earnestly, trustingly, believes that we need health care reform and that Obama will deliver ... .
My friend (who is no dummy, mind you) still hasn't heard about Obama saying "somewhere you'll see a light and you'll hear a voice and it will be saying you have to vote for Barack Obama." Woah! And they think we have tin foil hats!
So, okay. The supporters -- the tried and true -- have no idea of the mandatory volunteerism that Raum wants to spring on us someday (having failed recently)with the "Give Me Act." The supporters don't know. And they think the economy is starting to improve -- the Washington Post said so a couple days ago. Must be true!
Conservatives, on the contrary, watch the guy like a hawk -- but an entire segment of the population has been persuaded that listening to conservative radio or reading conservative blogs is beyond the pale! So, the avoid the sources that would give them actual information, yeah. That's very hopey/changey. WE listen to Obama, but he's not talking to us. The supporters are not listening, just cheering weirdly -- "hopefully" -- on the sidelines.
Who actually listens?Who are the cheering people in the background shots? Extras? Is it staged with Hollywood extras?! I don't get it! Really don't. So maybe that's why he's talking to kids now...? an empty gasbag in search of adulation.
The School Master in Chief to address the little children -- that should provide for a very nice little elementary school snooze at the noon hour! Now it's Fire Van Jones, the Conservatives cry. Half the Obama demographic has never heard of the guy!
