Here's Evan Thomas saying that he didn't feel the neediness of Obama on the campaign trail. Does it get any more unenlightened? Obamerism at it's most well-conditioned.
THOMAS: Obama is extraordinarily contained. Most candidates you can feel their neediness -- give me the love, give me the love." (Hands drawing to self. Me. Me. Me.)barry already had it because you were providing it. What kind of journalistic skills does this man have? He clearly doesn't have any people or body language skills. I used to wonder about folks who get drawn into Nigerian internet and pyramid schemes and cults. Not any longer.
THOMAS: Not with Obama. (He puts his hands over his chest in a pulling in protective fashion. You're not worthy of me.) There was much more self-contained. That he's controlled. It's kind of manipulative and a little cold in a way. It was hard to penetrate his tremendous self-possession. (= EGO = Messiah Complex)
DARIN BRISCOE: ...There's a lot that remains mysterious about him to me. He's a very difficult person to know well....He had to learn, sorta on the fly, that any misstatement he makes anything that he says that could be misconstrued in a negative way was likely to be construed that way by someone.Where? In their notebooks? And after almost two years spent with this man--every day--a lot is still mysterious to him? And yet those bitter bowling alley babes were to trust barry because they heard him saying nothing at a rally? None of the pro-obama media have a clue who barry is because they've crafted his persona for him. And they don't have a clue what he's gonna do because he's done nothing but string them along and they followed happily like little sheep.
THOMAS: He didn't give us a whole lot to work with ("more" hand motion) in a way, generalistically. Uhh, (head down, smacks lips = doubt), you know, what's that going to be like when he's president? Well...he'll stay cool...I think...(Doubtful face). Which is an admirable and necessary quality in presidents (Voice changes - trying to justify.) Presumably, his White House will be less chaotic than Bill Clinton's was. (Eyebrows up = facial shrug = Not sure and hoping he's right.)He is still saying I think..presumably...after they have been following him and writing about him in glowing knowledgeable terms since the beginning. Who believes these people? He's starting to doubt himself. But it's too late. The damage has been done and they are going to be held accountable for what happens...more likely what doesn't happen.
THOMAS: The American People are gonna also want to see a human side to him. And they are willing to cut him a lot of slack in the election 'cuz he had this message of hope and because McCain wasn't so great and they wanted change.Said dismissively - like I fell for it too. I think he has finally realized how he was played. Curious how he phrased that. McCain wasn't so good and so they voted for barry and are willing to give him a break because what other option have they?
THOMAS: But, uh, they're also gonna want to see a real human being inside of obama and he's gonna have to find ways to show that...I think. (Puts head down. Guilty he hasn't seen it.) Uh, and in somebody who's that self contained (shaking his head = he was fooled) it's really hard to know what they are thinking (still shaking) and where they're really going. And (deep frowning = personal worry) I think there's still some question about that. (Nods = certain ending)Now he has questions and doubt? Will he ever feel remorse of guilt in his complicity in promoting pro-obama propaganda? He got barry the win and now he has to cover himself as a citizen and editor for what he doesn't know about barry. It's good to connect the face with the words. His face gives him away...as do howie's and jonjon's and barry's. barry's convinced that his obamerized masses will follow him no matter what he says and they have...still are. Those of us rational beings see right through his empty words and we are still waiting for you to see the light instead of a halo.
