Cold And Aloof President Bames Media For Creating Cold And Aloof Image

Which is rather strange, because the media created an image that Barack H. Obama was the Messiah (via Ace)

(Politico) President Obama blames the press for creating the image that he’s aloof and disconnected from the rest of Washington, insisting in a new interview that he’s just more interested in spending time with his family than in exchanging pleasantries with strangers.

“My suspicion is that this whole critique has to do with the fact that I don’t go to a lot of Washington parties and, as a consequence, the Washington press corps maybe just doesn’t feel like I’m in the mix enough with them, and they figure, well, if I’m not spending time with them, I must be cold and aloof,” Obama said in an interview with Time Magazine released Thursday.

“The fact is, I’ve got a 13-year-old and 10-year-old daughter. And so, no, Michelle and I don’t do the social scene, because as busy as we are, we have a limited amount of time, and we want to be good parents at a time that’s vitally important for our kids.”

Um, what? This guy has party after party, especially during his first year in office, fiddling while America burned. He’s not disconnected from Washington: he’s disconnected from the American People. Anyhow, being cold and aloof isn’t a media created image, it’s an Obama created image, though I’d say it’s more like narcissistic, petty, cold, and aloof. Bush didn’t spend that much time with the media, and was never portrayed as “cold and aloof.” He was generally portrayed as “caring and personable”, no matter how much the media wanted to portray him as a guy who chewed on cute and fuzzy puppies.

Seriously, though, how can one call Obama cold and aloof when so many of the pictures of Obama look like

But, how can one call Obama cold and aloof? He’s certainly personable with lots of people who attend fundraisers. He has a great time playing golf with friends seemingly half the weekends of the year. He’s surely a nice guy hobnobbing with the folks on Martha’s Vineyard and at the area he rents expensive houses in Hawaii.

As Ace points out

Here’s a reason for Obama’s “aloofness:” When you are an unmitigated failure, you cannot discuss the real world, and must increasingly withdraw into a world of theory and projection only, because the facts of the real world are hostile to you.

Well, yeah, there’s that, but, remember, he actually lets his dog Bo take plane trips without the Obamas, so he can’t be cold, aloof, and disconnected.

    My bestest buddy is a terrorist….Bill Ayers.

    I tried to blackmail Blaggo into giving my job to another totally unqualified person.

    Hope and Change really means I hope to change America into a socialist experiment that is really Pseudo-communism.

    Hillary Clinton was bought and paid for even though I lost the popular vote in the democratic primaries.

    This is the man that they are saying can stand up to Romney or Gingrich or Santorum because they are extreme or rich….

    Not God Bless America….GOD DAMN AMERICA shouts the Rev Wright…..Obama’s spiritual mentor.

    remind me again why this man should be in the White House 4 more years???
