Answering Mark Steyn’s Questions
Mark Steyn has written another brilliant column in which he ridicules the Obamessiah on a variety of different things. He also ridicules faux journalist Chris Matthews for his tingling leg whenever he thinks about the Toy Messiah. All that aside, Mr. Steyn asks some questions. First, Steyn treats us to this uplifting part of the Obamessiah’s victory speech Tuesday night:
“I face this challenge with profound humility and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal. This was the moment, this was the time, when we came together to remake this great nation.”
Steyn then asks a question that highlights the inanity of Obama’s speech:
As for coming together “to remake this great nation,” if it’s so great, why do we have to remake it?
This is just a guess but it might need remaking because “this great nation” isn’t sufficiently created in the Obamessiah’s own image. In other words, it isn’t caring enough to measure up to the Obamessiah’s standards. We won’t measure up until we’ve insured the final uninsured person and hired the last unemployed person.
We can’t measure up to the Obamessiah’s standards until we’ve stopped the oceans from swallowing up our coastal cities.
Then Steyn surmises that someone will ask this question after hearing Obama’s speech:
“‘Heal the planet’? Is this guy nuts?”
The simple answer to that is no, though he’s a narcissist of incredible, and possibly unprecedented, proportions. This guy’s more full of himself than any politician I’ve ever seen, which is saying something considering how fresh my recollection is of Bill Clinton.
Every time I hear an Obama speech, I start to giggle. But millions of voters don’t. And, if Chris Matthews and the tingly-legged media get their way and drag Obama across the finish line this November, the laugh will be on those of us who think that serious times demand grown-up rhetoric.
Amen, Mr. Steyn. It’s crucial that we get an adult in the White House. That isn’t who we’d be getting if the Obamessiah is elected. The good news is that Sen. Obama is tying himself to some dangerous policies and to some stupid policies.
Tying himself to the Cap and Tax bill at a time when gas is $4 a gallon is just plain stupid. It’s sure to get the envirowhackos and elitists smiling but blue collar workers won’t appreciate it much.
One thing that Sen. Obama didn’t learn is that it’s infinitely more important to win the average Joe’s favor than to put a tingle in Chris Matthews’ leg.
