OBAMANABLE SHOWMAN
Barack Obama is like a drum. Both make noise because both are empty.
As more and more people are now pointing out, Obama says nothing. He just strings together nice sounding words that are meaningless.
This guy would fit right in with some of the local bloggers in Costa Mesa. Read some of the crap some of these nitwits write on the Daily Pilot blog as they try to convince others that low school scores don't mean what they do mean for an example of this.
In an earlier CM PRESS we took a long post that appeared on the DP blog and went word by word pointing out that it was completely empty. The poster, like Obama, had just strung together a list of adjectives and conclusions with no substance.
When I think of Obama I remember back to when I was living in Washington, D.C.
There was a black guy there who used to sell balloons from a corner in Georgetown. The thing about this guy was that his voice was so low, I swear, that it was almost below the level of human hearing. You'd walk past the guy and he'd always say the same thing, but you'd never see his lips move: "Buy the lady a balloon. Make the children happy."
It was almost subliminal. It was like monks chanting OM. Like Obama, this guy was also an empty drum. But unlike Obama he wasn't a little snare drum. He was a hollow thousand year old tree lying on its side in the jungle that when struck with a log made the deep sound of creation that still echoes through the universe--OMMMMMMM!
I used to imagine that some people would take a few steps past the balloon man, not consciously hear what he had said, but then have their subconscious buttons pushed--by the sound that they heard but didn't hear--and turn back zombie like while droning: Must buy balloon for lady. Must make the children happy."
Obama has just enough of that vocal quality of the balloon man to have easily suggestible people think that he's saying something of substance. And, like the balloon man, what Obama is selling is mostly empty air.
And, speaking of empty air, that brings us to Katrina Foley who is running for reelection in Costa Mesa this year...oh, never mind.
