Every iota of everything from this administration is scripted to present optics. It’s insufferably enough to make a person physically ill watching. The latest round of transparent optics comes from the Obama military victory tour 2.0 going on right now, and prolonged through the end of the year.
Just like the original football spiking version over the killing of Bin Laden, this version is all about parading into military bases to proclaim victory in bringing the troops home from Iraq. But unlike the original this one has a twist, or more accurately a deflective apron to hide behind. Michelle’s apron.
There is genuine fact based reason to assert that Obama’s mid-East policies are failing miserably. The unclenched fist approach toward Iran is hopelessly failing, despite the earnest efforts of Joe Biden to spin (more on that later). Egypt is quickly becoming a hub for Islamic Extremists with the Muslim Brotherhood in majority control of the parliament. Turkey is resetting itself in the image of radical Islam. Libya is fundamentally reversing social evolution with promises to secure a hardline Sharia compliant constitution and the flags of al-Qaeda fly above the courthouse. Syria scoffs at any attempt from the outside to stop them from murdering people. Russia and China are working in conjunction with Iran and others to secure a future interest. And our one ally Israel is more isolated than ever before while Obama publicly mocks the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Barack can no longer run the risk of entering a military base alone, lest he potentially be questioned about one of these foreign policy failures during an optical “victory” tour to advance the false narrative of foreign policy success. He needs cover.
So he brings along Michelle, and boy does he know how to pour on the mega-barf, school boy, smarmy charmy crap for the media lap-dogs to feast on while keeping the narrative away from how hopelessly inept his foreign policies actually are.
Obama To Mooch: “You’re a Remarkable First lady, And You’re Cute!”…
OK, I think I just threw up in my mouth.
(Mediaite) At Fort Bragg, President Obama thanked his wife for introducing his speech marking the end of the Iraq war by showering her with compliments, topping it off by calling her “cute.” “Michelle you’re a remarkable First Lady, you are a great advocate for military families, and you’re cute!”
