And that’s the problem. Obama is not interested in changing anything in order to make something work. In fact, for his purposes everything is working as planned.

Bring down America. Tarnish American values. Head for a “global community”. Diminish excellence. I will tell you straight up that if Obama were being honest he would cop to these goals. Straight up.

Make that Barack Hussein Obama. It not only restores symmetry, it implicitly makes a trenchant point. Typing “Lyndon Hussein Johnson” brings a smile to the typist.

But not having read the article, maybe Drum’s point was that Obama should decline to run for re-election. In that, at least, he could emulate Johnson.

Perhaps that is because so many of these supposedly smart people are themselves experts only in learning terminology and deploying it to generate the false impression that they possess understanding.

I seem to recall a different photo of Johnson dog- ear pulling. He probably did it more than twice.

Johnson: born and died in Stonewall, TX
Obama: got Stoned in Choom City.
Obama’s Attorney General stonewalled Congress.

Johnson: Johnson City named for an ancestor
Obama: Obamanation named for Himself

I agree that it is absurd to urge Obama to be more like LBJ. It is akin to asking a horse to be like a fish. No can do.

The summer before I entered 4th grade, my family visited Washington DC. We got visitors’ passes from our Senator, and observed the Senate chamber. I have a vague memory of seeing and hearing Senator and Majority Leader Johnson, whose TX accent stood out.

Some years later when LBJ was President, an elementary school classmate of my brother write Lady Bird about some aspect of her beautification programs. Several weeks later, my brother’s classmate got called to the principal’s office. Lady Bird was on the line. Her kindness in calling a little kid, which she had no obligation to do, is one reason I am a big Lady Bird fan.

The third one was a curse word, right?

Even Obama’s “stellar accomplishment” (Obamacare) was subcontracted to Pelosi and Reid.

Obama’s a BS artist who only knows how to sell snake oil.
