It’s Going To Make The Seal Seem Restrained. . .

Jennifer Rubin - 07.24.2008 - 1:39 PM

Now comes word Barack Obama is transitioning to the White House. It would be one thing if it were isolated, but it is not, of course. The only thing worse could be leading a rock concert-sized crowd of Germans and ditching American soliders. Oh, wait.

How could he and/or his staff get so out of kilter? They read and watch the MSM, no doubt. They live in a cocoon of Obama-mania largely of their own creation. And when they go a step too far, there is no one there to say “Stop. Think about this.” Will Americans be turned off? Only voters who question what he’s done to deserve the acclaim, place a high value in lots of accomplishments, distrust popular culture and aren’t sure who this guy is. That would be blue-collar swing voters. And that’s the rub. The folks who will be wowed by the show in Germany and lap up the media coverage are likely already in his camp. It’s the others who are the problem. And the latest editions to the album of Obama arrogance won’t help.
