Obama loves rhetoric. Desires all the trappings of power, Bully Pulpit, Megaphone, pomp, primacy, but none of the responsibility or accountability of the job
Empty rhetoric and meaningless lines: the Obama non-presidency
After Tuesday night's State of the Union (5 down, 3 to go!), nothing has changed: Barack Obama remains a Marxist caricature, his presidency vapid by historical standards, and his leadership style exemplar of fecklessness... You wouldn't know it by the applause in the House chamber, nor by the booming economy that never stopped booming around the Beltway, but this recovery is no recovery outside the skull of Chris Matthews.
