Re: 'The Victim in Chief Makes a Pitch for Greater Socialism'

I've never seen a more appropriate title than at Erick Erickson's piece over at Redstate on our thin-skinned president's 'unpresidential,' whinny speech "to one of the few friendly audiences he has left in America -- Big Labor."

Erickson writes:

[...] Our Victim-in-Chief, with no sense of history, declared that people talk about him like a dog. First, it is worth point out he named his dog after himself -- Bo. Either the dog stinks or got Mr. Obama's initials. It could be people are talking about the dog. And, our Victim-in-Chief should consider himself lucky considering the smears against many of his predecessors, including the most recent who was routinely compared by the left to Hitler

By the way, I think it is starting to dawn on the American public that the reason they don't like him is not just that he's a socialist. It's a thin-skinned wimp. Americans like winners, not wimps.

The Victim's speech is not worth remembering for anything other than its hypocrisy wrapped up in a sales pitch for socialism. Suddenly Mr. Obama is for tax cuts and Republicans are against them. Suddenly Mr. Obama is against spending. Suddenly Mr. Obama is against bailouts. Mr. Obama is for saying "yes" to everything and the Republicans are for saying "no" to everything.

The president is having to stick to the friendliest of audiences for a very good reason. Americans clearly aren't buying the socialist agenda that he and his fellow Democrats have been selling, and aren't likely to want to hear more of it. As for Obama whining about the GOP treating him "like a dog," he should've stayed with his teleprompter. Big Labor may laugh at his comment, but the American people are more likely to be laughing at him, instead.
