Usually praise follows accomplishment. With Obama, however, the praise almost always goes first.

Even beyond the stock market issue, what exactly did this guy think was going to go wrong in this honeymoon phase, before Obama has even taken office?!  Did he expect Bush and Obama to get into a shoving match?  Did he expect Obama to announce that he's in charge now?  Earth to moonbat, Barack Obama does not have any power, no authority to do anything really.  Isn't it fair to state that just about every president-elect's first post-election week went "without a hitch"?  (I mean, other than when Al Gore tried to steal the 2000 election.)

What about not picking a fight over missile defense with an ally, while Russia continues its bluff-and-bluster routine?

We are so screwed.  We are going to be seen as such wusses around the world. 

The night we waved goodbye to America... our last best hope on Earth

Anyone would think we had just elected a hip, skinny and youthful replacement for God, with a plan to modernise Heaven and Hell – or that at the very least John Lennon had come back from the dead.

The swooning frenzy over the choice of Barack Obama as President of the United States must be one of the most absurd waves of self-deception and swirling fantasy ever to sweep through an advanced civilisation.

AT THE END OF THE COLUMN

(In DC) There had been a few white people blowing car horns and shouting, as the result became clear. But among the Mexicans, Salvadorans and the other Third World nationalities, there was something like ecstasy.

They grasped the real significance of this moment. They knew it meant that America had finally switched sides in a global cultural war. Forget the Cold War, or even the Iraq War. The United States, having for the most part a deeply conservative people, had until now just about stood out against many of the mistakes which have ruined so much of the rest of the world.

Suspicious of welfare addiction, feeble justice and high taxes, totally committed to preserving its own national sovereignty, unabashedly Christian in a world part secular and part Muslim, suspicious of the Great Global Warming panic, it was unique.

These strengths had been fading for some time, mainly due to poorly controlled mass immigration and to the march of political correctness. They had also been weakened by the failure of America’s conservative party – the Republicans – to fight on the cultural and moral fronts.

They preferred to posture on the world stage. Scared of confronting Left-wing teachers and sexual revolutionaries at home, they could order soldiers to be brave on their behalf in far-off deserts. And now the US, like Britain before it, has begun the long slow descent into the Third World. How sad. Where now is our last best hope on Earth?

The myopic, sickeningly sweet, honey-coated reportage and analysis (or lack thereof), that Obama received during the campaign goes merrily on.

There is now and will be no change in the type of coverage that he will get as president. The MSM are completely in love with Obama, and no matter what he does or doesn't do, right or wrong as president, will change how the media will cover him.

The MSM helped put Obama in the White House and they are going to do everything in their power to help keep him there.
