Obama’s Ongoing Shell Game

Obama simply must be the master of shell games. He plays them better than anyone else. It is now coming out that much of the stuff in his autobiography were lies and fabrications.

Let’s take a look at the latest in a series of ongoing shell games. They pop so fast they’re impossible to keep up with. Just as the media starts to focus on one and tries to get to the bottom of it, another comes up… then they leap at that one, only to find yet another coming up. This has been continuing for months now and because the media doesn’t care to follow anything for more than a couple of days He gets away with much of what he’s doing.

We don’t even hear about the unconstitutional creation of a new law by Obama through executive order regarding immigration. Now we’re onto the news of executive privilege. Before that we had Sandra Fluke, the war on Catholics, his war on Arizona through his chief enforcer Eric Holder, his war now on Florida, again through holder, and the list goes on and on, but within a week or so each of those gets forgotten except for by those being affected, but they of course don’t receive any coverage.

Obama simply must be the best man at playing the shell game that I’ve ever seen in politics. He goes from crisis to crisis, each one created by him. He does this as a constant distraction. He of course has much of the media running interference and knows that the few remaining that aren’t advocates for him won’t be able to keep up. He thoroughly understands the News’ proclivity toward whatever is new fresh and exciting and this is just what he has mastered. No matter how outrageous his offense it gets forgotten in the light of each new one.

If nothing else it is a sure thing that this is a new strategy never employed on such a scale in any other presidency. Though he is constantly on the hot seat and constantly has the media hunting for something, he always gives them something else just in time for them to forget what the last thing was and they faithfully do forget what the old thing was.

He is a master in the way he plays the media. Now he’s extended executive privilege where it may or may not belong, but this doesn’t matter because no doubt he will simply have another thing pop up when this one starts to get too hot.

Before this he didn’t really give the Fast and Furious issue a second though. It has been lagging on for 18 months and looked like this was no chance they would do anything substantial with it till he was either out of office or re-elected and these were the only two concerns he had regarding this issue. The media was putting on some pressure regarding what he did with the immigration so along came an opportunity for another distracting news story not nearly as bad as the constitutional violation he was committing by refusing to uphold the laws of the United States which is his job as the chief executive of the nation.

I’d say I wonder how long the media will let him get away with this, but like Obama they are incapable of changing their habits and Obama is well aware of this
