OBAMA: NOT MAN ENOUGH FOR THE OVAL OFFICE




GVL - (VIA THIS MORE RECENT POST):

After thousands of years of crawling up from the swamp of totalitarianism we can see, at last, in the distance a world where this ancient nightmare is removed from the world. But we cannot get there if America does not stand.


Again. The world cannot rid itself of the terror of totalitarianism if America does not stand.


For that to happen we need to have a leader -- man or woman -- who possesses real, demonstrated courage.

For that to become true we need to have a leader who has -- man or woman -- real manliness.

Obama is intelligent, charming, good-looking, stylish, well-educated and slick. He's everything that other people who value such surfaces look for... not in a leader, but in an icon. And that's what they're buying by buying Obama, an icon. A glowing plastic post-modern Jesus for the dashboard of their Prius. They know, as we all know by now, that he can talk the talk. He just can't walk the walk. He's soft talk and no stick.


I keep coming back to the one indisputable fact first spoken in Sarah Palin's acceptance speech: "There is only one man in this election who has ever really fought for you ... in places where winning means survival and defeat means death."

One of those places where defeat means death is in the Oval Office on a very bad day.


Just to be clear, I'm not saying Obama is not a man. He's just not man enough for the job.


PALIN IS TWICE THE MAN OBAMA PRETENDS TO BE.
