Campbell Brown Rounds on Obama
— rdbrewer

Emmy winner Campbell Brown, former CNN host and former co-anchor at of NBC's Weekend Today, rapped President Obama for being condescending toward women.

WHEN I listen to President Obama speak to and about women, he sometimes sounds too paternalistic for my taste. In numerous appearances over the years Â— most recently at the Barnard graduation Â— he has made reference to how women are smarter than men. ItÂ’s all so tired, the kind of fake praise showered upon those one views as easy to impress. As I listen, I am always bracing for the old go-to clichÃ©: Â“Behind every great man is a great woman.Â”
. . .
The women I know who are struggling in this economy couldnÂ’t be further from the fictional character of Julia, presented in Mr. ObamaÂ’s Web ad, Â“The Life of Julia,Â” a silly and embarrassing caricature based on the assumption that women look to government at every meaningful phase of their lives for help.
. . .
In an effort to win them back, Mr. Obama is trying too hard. HeÂ’s employing a tone that can come across as grating and even condescending. He really ought to drop it. Most women donÂ’t want to be patted on the head or treated as wards of the state. They simply want to be given a chance to succeed based on their talent and skills. To borrow a phrase from our presidentÂ’s favorite president, Abraham Lincoln, they want Â“an open field and a fair chance.Â”

(Emphasis added.) This is a hard hit, even though Ms. Brown discloses that her husband is one of Mitt Romney's advisers. But she is a pro and has a solid reputation in Washington. She is, according to Politico, "making a wave."

She goes on to describe specific examples of skilled and educated friends and family who are having difficulty finding work. One of her friends lost her livelihood and had to move back in with her parents. Another is selling her belongings on eBay to make ends meet. Ms Brown says it is family, not government, that has helped them in this time of crisis.

This is not to say that government doesnÂ’t play a role in their lives. It does and it should. But it isnÂ’t a dominant one, and certainly not an overwhelming factor in their daily existence.

Obama doesn't care about individuals and the pain they're going through, and people are starting to figure that out. He cares only about his reelection. Even non-conservatives are realizing he's simply a devious, creepy, dishonest man--like any run-of-the-mill narcissist with their characteristic empathy deficit. That's the reason for his weird "Julia" composite character. "Julia" represents a gullible type that Obama thinks might be helpful to his campaign. For him, people are types or groups to be manipulated; they're not individuals.

More and more high profile personalities are speaking out. It's starting to look like an Abilene paradox is breaking down, and we're at the beginning of a full-blown preference cascade, described by Glenn Reynolds here:

This works until something breaks the spell, and the discontented realize that their feelings are widely shared, at which point the collapse of the regime may seem very sudden to outside observers - or even to the citizens themselves. Claims after the fact that many people who seemed like loyal apparatchiks really loathed the regime are often self-serving, of course. But they're also often true . . . .

(Emphasis added.) If it starts to look like Obama is likely to lose, the left will turn on him fast. He lied to them, and they're not happy. It'll be the president's problem or the messaging or the packaging, not the philosophy. They will turn on him to preserve their worldview.

14 Great post, rdb. A couple of weeks ago I ran into an acquaintance, an educated, well-to-do, 60-ish African American man who can always be counted on to contribute generously to Dem candidates. He was very frustrated that the administration is "putting out all these lies about the economy, we know it's bad and we know they're lying." I was pretty shocked to hear him say it. I doubt that he would ever, under any circumstances, vote against Obama, but I think there's a pretty good chance he might opt to stay home on election day.

35 Obama's handlers have learned early on that when he's given a chance to be spontaneous, Obama comes off as a f*cking idiot.

Hence, almost everything that comes out of Obama's mouth is calculated, measured, scripted and disingenuous, or just plain stupid.

Yes, Obama is a spindly wimmin-hatin' poopy-head loser.

37 Since when is Campbell Brown a high profile anything. She got tossed from CNN because her ratings were so low they were damn near invisible. Her only claim to fame is marrying Dan Senor - a member of the cabal of incompetence that managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq. Who also, according to this, is now "advising" the Romney campaign. Great. I'm impressed. Does he get to wear Army duds like he did in Baghdad? Naw, they're probably wearing polo shirts with little alligators on them. With guys like Senor on the team, how can Sir Willard of TheeRomney not have this suitcased? I guess we will find out.

As RD noted, when people like this wander off the reservation, it is only because they sense their man is a LEEEHEWWWWSEEEEERRRRRR...The only think liberals hate worse than seeing a conservative win is BACKING THE LIBERAL WHO IS CRUSHED. They are weird like that...no such thing as an honorable defeat in their tribe, a la Barry Goldwater... I've been seeing this for a few weeks. They KNOW the SCOAMF is going down like Janeane Garofalo on Ed Schultz. Or The Hindenburg.

46 In a way, Obama is saying to women that, instead of having a man take care of you, let the government take care of you. He gives a sense that women can't take care of themselves, that they need a big strong man government to do it for them. Where's the story of Julian and how the government can help him? That timeline doesn't exist. Which makes the Julia story even more condescending, because they wouldn't think of doing it for a man.

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo (NJConservative) at May 20, 2012 12:54 PM (nEUpB) I'm not the only one who's made this observation, but this will be tempered by the fact that when the Left and his suck-ups do turn on him (fully) in disappointment and anger, it will be not because of their faulty ideology and worldview, but because he let them down and wasn't what he was supposed to be.

117 They don't really believe Obama will lose; they have faith in widespread fraud.

144 when the Left and his suck-ups do turn on him (fully) in disappointment and anger, it will be not because of their faulty ideology and worldview, but because he let them down and wasn't what he was supposed to be.

The Dog-Eating Retard has always held the left in the same contempt as he held us. He hates the West and everything in it, which includes the useful idiots on the left.

The problem for the left is that they can't acknowledge this without having to acknowledge that it was THEIR FAULT that America has been brought to the precipice. (If HH is around, the Dog-Eater's asinine use of "precipice" in describing his health scare deform was another one of those strange non-native tongue English examples) The left, already wracked by guilt (which is why they are who they are and why they are so dangerous to any society unlucky enough to be burdened with their presence) would have to add REAL guilt over their mindless contribution to the destruction of the greatest nation that has ever existed. They cannot really do this. THey won't. Thy'll pop their heads up every so often, but soon enough they'll have them back in the ground telling themselves what lovely and caring pieces of shit they are.

Leftists are like arabs. They fuck everything up and then they get humiliated by their fuck-ups, which they blame on everyone else, which forces them to attack those they blame for their own fuck-ups. They are operating all on their own. It has nothing to do with any input from any of us. They keep making mistakes, humiliating themselves, then lashing out at everyone else. We can stand by the side of the road sipping slurpees and the left would still be creating new problems in their own fevered minds that set them against us and America.

Evan Thomas recognized the Dog-Eater's "slightly creepy cult of personality" on the night of the election. Did he turn away? No. It was just a mention and then on with the destruction of America.

This nation just cannot continue with so many idiot leftists in it. They refuse to allow it. Constitutional Union of American States. That is the only option that will be left ... especially seeing how our own idiot Weeper of the House has now come out and joined the Soviet-style idea that tax policy doesn't provide a sufficient reason for someone to want to leave AMerica. The question of anyone with a brain feeling as though they have representation in the feral government is not even worth asking, so tax level becomes one of the most legitimate reasons for one to leave.

If things go to crash, then all you are left with is broken parts of a machine that can no longer run. You don't reassemble that. You certainly don't reassemble it from the exact same parts - many of which are warped leftist parts, to start with, and the rest of which were mangled in the crash. The only solution when such irreparable damage has already been done is to pull away and start anew with fresh parts. That is the only way any trust can be had in the system, which is the basis of our notion of governance.

This is where the next danger lies. If and when Obama implodes he will be replaced with another version of the same leftist. Hillary id you will. And we will then face a new 52% voting for a 'historic' first.
