Op-ed:
A yawn of a press conference by a bloviating yawn of a man
By: Diane Sori
From the man who thinks that Charleston NC, Savannah GA, and Jackson
FL are on the Gulf Coast came a press conference that was one BIG yawn
of bloviated rhetoric from start to finish.
A BIG yawn when press conferences are supposed to be Q&A’s NOT
Obama talking in circles saying NOTHING as he runs the clock
down…and so it began…here are some of the
highlights…lowlights actually…
“America is not
interested in spying on ordinary people,” Obama said. But…but…didn’t he
just say on Jay Leno the other night that, “What we
do have is some mechanisms that can track a phone number or an email
address.” Guess what…that is spying in case he didn’t know. And if
there’s NO interest in spying on ‘We the People’ then how come a giant
data mining storage facility is being built in Colorado…how come
Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Verizon, and countless others admitted to
collecting data on their uses…how come Obama spoke about directing his
administration to inform the public the legal reasoning behind the
collection
of data and ordered the creation of yet another useless task force to
issue a report in six months on something that he said the government
has NO interest in doing…why…why…why…
“I’m absolutely confident that if [the Senate immigration] bill comes
to the floor of the House it would pass,” Obama bloviated on. Oh really…is
this man totally clueless or what. This joke of a bill will NEVER be
passed because most in the Republican controlled House are smart enough
to know that we cannot afford to suddenly make millions of ILLEGAS
legal with just a swipe of a pen. Most are smart enough to know that
BEFORE any immigration reform is tackled that the borders must be sealed
and locked down…most are smart enough to know that Obama is pushing
this immigration nonsense (when we just need to enforce the laws already
on the books) just to increase the Democratic voting rolls and for NO
other reason. So just more blah…blah…blah…
Blah…blah…blah…Obama said he didn’t think “it would be productive” to
boycott the Winter Olympics that are being held in Sochi, Russia. I bet
Putin had hoped he would. “No one is more offended than me by some of
the anti-gay and lesbian legislation” in Russia, he said. No one more
offended than him…what an odd thing to say, but hey, he has to pander to
a big part of his base. And so as America is beget by ‘supposed’ phony
scandals that needed to be seriously addressed Obama just drones on and
on about gay and lesbian athletes bringing home the gold. Seems like a
deliberate slap in the face to ‘We the People’ after all the bru-ha-ha
over the gay marriage issue doesn’t it.
And literally on and on it went as he took on the planted questions he had prepared his useless and meaningless answers for.
Case in point…when asked about al-Qaeda and the closing of our
embassies Obama said, “The core of al-Qaida is on its heels, has been
decimated. But al-Qaida and other extremists have metastasized into
regional groups that can pose significant threats". Uh…if they’ve been
decimated how can they have metastasized…how can they pose threats as
decimated means for the most part destroyed … done…finished… kaput. Just more double speak
don’t you think.
More
double-speak in preparation for his ObamaCare bloviations...bloviations
where
Obama became aggressive and defensive while playing the usual blame the
Republicans game. Addressing a possible Republican plan to defund
Obamacare he
said that, “the idea that you would shut down the government unless you
prevent 30 million people from getting healthcare is a bad
idea...Republicans have determined that they don’t want to see these
people
get healthcare”. And we all know that is pure unadulterated
garbage for Obama does NOT care about the health care needs of the
American people…Obama cares about binding the people to the government
for those medical needs…for their very lives…and for their deaths when
he deems the time is right (death panels and rationed medicine…it’s in
there…read it) for Barack HUSSEIN Obama has bought into his own media
PR that he is the ‘anointed savior’ of us all.
Blah…blah…blah…all Obama did was talk, talk, talk as he had to
deflect the few questions asked away from the one topic he did NOT want
to address…Benghazi.
When that question finally came Obama gave new meaning to the word ‘defensive’ (had to cover his
butt you know) while looking at anything but the cameras. And when he said
with a straight face that he promised to bring those who
attacked the consulate in Benghazi to justice, and that “We’re going to do
everything we can to gather those who carried out those attacks” I
really wanted to throw something at the TV. ‘Gather those’…’attacked
the the consulate’…how about those who MURDERED Christopher Stevens,
Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty…how about bringing those
people to justice. Oh wait…that would include him. Don’t think he’d
bring himself to justice for justice is for others NOT for him.
Obama’s bloviations…his talking in circles as he chased his own
pointy tail (get it), made it obvious that he did NOT want to be
there…that he did NOT really want to have anything to do with the
press…the reporters…or anything, because even though most in the media
are actually his rah-rah team, he feared the few who were NOT would rip his
non-answers to shreds.
And to be honest, I don’t think even he believed what he was saying.
That’s why he had trouble looking directly into the cameras…and for a
photo-op whore like Obama that must have been hard for he knows his
rhetoric is NOTHING but lies. And after awhile it must become obvious
even to him that without his teleprompter it’s hard to make his lies
even a wee bit credible.
And besides, he and Michelle really needed that time to plan their
taxpayer funded Martha’s Vineyard vacation and this pesky press
conference was in the way.
