WHITE HOUSE MAGIC

You’ve got to hand it to Obama; he’s a skillful magician. He can make bad news disappear in a heartbeat. In recent weeks for example, think about the horrible news from the November elections. Obama got onto his 747 and flitted off into the sunset and the news media immediately focused on his trip; the bad election news got very much downplayed. Then there was North Korea attacking South Korea right after South Korea snubbed Obama’s trade agreement. That piece of bad news got relegated to the third page of the comic section.

Wikileaks came along and the North Korean situation disappeared. Wikileaks was making Obama’s national security look like a slew of kids playing in a sandbox, so Obama made a tax deal and…poof! Wikileaks was gone! More recently, he invited Clinton over for a White House beer and now the tax cut dilemma is exiting to stage left. The right wing media had to ask if Obama was so weak that he needed to lean on Clinton to rescue him and…. It looks like the subject of the New York mosque is about to change the subject yet again!

But, all of these magic tricks are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Obama prowess. Have you noticed that he’s back to having more face time on TV than Leno and Lettermen combined? As matter of fact, we’ve gotten so used to his mug on TV that he has actually become part of the average American household, like the family dog…. Or the boar, if you live out west.

Let’s face it. This guy is so vain and so egotistical that someone mentioned he looks like a bimbo with a cigarette in his mouth and he quit after smoking after 40 years of the habit.

In fact, when you examine the Obama psyche, you hit a brick wall. Nobody can figure out who he really is. That’s because he’s got more sides to him than the pentagon. And, of course, there are his tricks. I used to say that Clinton had more tricks up his sleeve than Houdini, but Clinton doesn’t hold a candle to Obama. The only problem is that Obama is clumsy; he can’t pull off a trick without showing his dirty underwear.

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
