…when a big shot opinion maker echoes something you say yourself. It’s this part of Victor Davis Hanson piece about Bush v Obama:

But Obama? He cannot really speak off the teleprompter without pauses, repetitions, and constant self-referencing (as in “me,” “I,” “my,” etc.). He is stiff and not comfortable with himself off the court or golf course. Bush made decisions and stuck by them; Obama the professor offers a perennial “on the one hand”/”on the other hand” mish-mash and a sorta, kinda, almost answer. Americans would prefer to be in a foxhole with George Bush, who would swagger and announce as decider-in-chief at H-hour, “OK, pard, we’re going over the top together on this one.” They wouldn’t want to be with Obama, who would stutter and give a long-drawn out exegesis why race and class had condemned us to such an unfair predicament, whose only solution is to go into a fetal position and condemn “them” who did this awful thing to us.

The President is attempting to vote “present” (as he did as a State Senator) when the tough gets going. I’ve been talking on the air about calling him the Tevye President, “On the one hand, on the other,” a reference from the old musical Fiddler on the Roof, but that won’t work because the President obviously doesn’t like Jewish people very much. Here’s the rest of Hanson’s piece today. It’s worth a read you Libs.
