Unmasking Obama…Obama’s Work Ethic….

It is now abundantly clear that the image of Barack Obama sold to the American electorate was tightly edited, air-brushed, and exaggerated. He has worn a series of masks — eloquent orator, brilliant scholar, centrist, and literary sensation. All of these masks are coming off as he copes with a job for which image will not suffice.  For instance, hiding behind the eloquent orator mask is a guy who says “uhh” a lot when he is winging it, and who makes lots of factual and grammatical mistakes .

It’s no secret that I don’t care for reality programming. But, I do make some exceptions. I’m addicted to Project Runway , because it’s a reality competition, where contestants actually make a product, and they have to have a modicum of talent (for something other than being a famewhore). I also like Kathy Griffin’s My Life on the D-List , although I didn’t watch much of this season, because it seemed like Kathy was drifting away from her D-List roots. She chilled with T.I. [more...]

Germany - The Bitter-Sweet Tears Of Angela von Merkel

German voters gave Chancellor Angela Merkel the green light for a second term on Sunday, along with a clear mandate to form a new government with the liberal Free Democrat Party (FDP). But just what exactly is the new government likely to do? Merlek has been quick to pour cold water on any idea of early tax cuts, “I expect we’ll agree very quickly on tax policy, especially when you look at the leeway we have with the budget,” she is quoted as saying.

Obama’s Work Ethic

Obama’s Work Ethic By Ed Lasky Barack Obama has displayed a disturbing pattern of work ethics: shirking work; claiming success when he was not entitled to do so; hiding his failures; and claiming the work of others as his own — when it was successful. These are not character traits that we should associate with Presidents. Barack Obama won praise for Dreams From My Father , a 1995 memoir of his life that was published when he reached the grand old age of thirty-four. [more...]
