Is Obama the Most Beta Male President We've Ever Had?

Maybe, Carter was pretty beta-ish but Obama takes the prize I think.

Anyway, here's the Greatest President Ever blaming a news agency that gets approximately 3,000,000 viewers at its peak:

President Barack Obama blamed Fox News for his political woes in a private meeting with labor leaders in 2010, saying he was “losing white males” who tune into the cable outlet and “hear Obama is a Muslim 24/7,” according to journalist David Corn’s new book, “Showdown.”

In “Showdown: The Inside Story of How Obama Fought Back Against Boehner, Cantor, and the Tea Party” — which hits bookstores on Tuesday — the Washington bureau chief for Mother Jones chronicles the White House from the 2010 midterm elections to the start of the 2012 campaign. The book focuses on key moments of Obama’s presidency, such as Osama bin Laden’s assassination, the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, the Arab Spring, the debt ceiling crisis, and the president’s dealings with Congress.

Really? As one who served in the US Navy and recognize the office of the president with reverence, I just have to say that he sounds like a whiney little bitch (and to make myself clear since I used a slur, I mean the "whiney bitch" as in one dude to another not as in Nancy Pelosi is a bitch). If Obama had to deal with 1% of what Bush did on a daily basis he'd be in the fucking fetal position for all his waking hours. MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The LA Times and every other news organization save Fox and the Wall Street Journal were on a jihad against W. like nothing we've ever seen. Every day one story or another or the same story for numerous days (like the NY Times putting Abu Ghraib on the cover for 32 straight). How about Dan Rather running fake documents of you and the media defending forged documents as "fake but accurate".

It's always someone else's fault with this guy. It's Bush's fault or Congress' fault or my fault for not complying. Harry Truman was famous for having a sign with the quote "the buck stops here"; Obama passes the buck constantly.

One last thing: Obama was afraid of "losing white males". I'm reasonably sure he lost the alpha ones but he still has Matt Yglesias, Ezra Klein, David Corn, Alec Baldwin and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Obama Breaks Lefty Hearts Again

You poor liberals, The One is not delivering on yet another promise; and this one you were desperately waiting for:

President Obama defended his decision to fight the release of photos showing detainee abuse, saying it would only put American troops in harms way and create a backlash against Americans.

"The most direct consequence of releasing them, I believe, would be to further inflame anti-American opinion and to put our troops in greater danger," the president said before departing on his trip to Arizona. "Moreover, I fear the publication of these photos may only have a chilling effect on future investigations of detainee abuse."

The Left was excited in that it makes America look bad, war is evil, voyeuristic way they tend to favor. They wanted these released as yet more proof of just how evil our military, intelligence agencies and the Bush administration were and still are. The wanted to see the pictures so they could post them and make them iconic like the pictures from the disturbed few individuals that perpetrated the prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib. They consider the picture of the shrouded man with wires protruding more representative of America than the iconic image of victory at Mount Suribachi in Iwo Jima by Joe Rosenthal.

Besides that, haven't we on the right been saying that releasing those photos would be disastrous for American service personnel? Why yes, yes we have. The release of the "torture" memos will also have a great effect but The One didn't realize that in time or more likely, probably did but didn't count on the backlash from the public and his own CIA and the subsequent public relations disaster it's turned out to be. We all know that Obama does things for political expedience and not conscience or the good of the nation.

Sorry lefties, you lose again. American won't be portrayed as the evil torture machine you know deeply in your heart it really is. Sucks bad for you.

Update: More heartache for the hand-wringers: Obama thinking about "indefinite detention" for Gitmo detainees on US soil. not that they'll ever consider voting for a conservative but it sure is enjoyable watching them whine about Obama not being the man they thought they elected. the schadenfreude is quite enjoyable.
