You really sorta have to watch this:

I think this SNL skit sums it up pretty well:

Barack Obama O’Drama has captured the heart of his fellow dramatists out in liberal Hollywood. Wooed by his Pied Piper siren song, the leftists who spend the millions bashing America and all we stand for, have begun to coalesce around the liberal, freshmen senator from Chicago.

Of course, this is a natural fit - the actors and actresses famed for their imaginations and grounded in their false realities are inherently drawn to Barack Obama’s overly dramatic and downright depressing view of America. For instance, Daniel Henninger paraphrases Obama:

“…lies awake at night wondering how he’s going to pay the bills . . . she works the night shift after a full day of college and still can’t afford health care for a sister who’s ill . . . the senior I met who lost his pension when the company he gave his life to went bankrupt . . . the teacher who works at Dunkin’ Donuts after school just to make ends meet . . . I was not born into money or status . . . I’ve fought to bring jobs to the jobless in the shadow of a shuttered steel plant . . . to make sure people weren’t denied their rights because of what they looked like or where they came from . . . Now we carry our message to farms and factories.”

And so, George Clooney, Susan Surandon, and Haley Berry….

“He walks into a room and you want to follow him somewhere, anywhere,” says George Clooney.

“I’ll do whatever he says to do,” says actress Halle Berry. “I’ll collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear.”

I’m nervous because nobody’s quite sure what Obama stands for, even his supporters. (“I can’t wait to see,” said actress/activist Susan Sarandon, declaring full support nonetheless).

…all are drawn to him like moths to a flame.

Barack, your drama may be tempting to listen to, but your policies are nothing more than the typical, tired, and failed liberal ideas of the past. More government, more bureaucracy, more spending - more and more and more of the current system that is failing to solve our problems now.

Mr. O’Drama, tear down this wall* of rhetoric so that America can see you for the liberal you really are!

*Since we’re in the business of “borrowing” words.

Now, I haven’t seen the movie Charlie Wilson’s War, and to be honest it looks entertaining, but I have recently read a few articles expressing some angst about some rather large omissions and one specific fallacy noted in the movie.

This piece seems to sum it all up pretty well, but the gist is that many observers have noticed President Reagan, despite his tremendous leadership on the issue, is not given even one iota of credit in the movie for winning the Cold War. Sure, Congressman Charlie Wilson played a role, but Reagan was the one forging the path ahead. In fact, in contrast to the apparent plot in the movie, Charlie Wilson and his CIA buddy needed quite a bit of prodding from conservative Republicans before they were convinced it was worth it to send Stinger missiles to the rebels in Afghanistan.

On top of this glaring oversight is the vexing inclusion of a myth that the US funded Osama bin Laden and the al Qaida terror network against the Soviets. This simply isn’t true, as bin Laden never received any funding from the United States and didn’t begin his little holy war until well after we had left the country.
