This blog is called
Political Clown Parade; emphasis on the clown,
for a reason. On Thursday, January 22,
2014 The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer met with three YouTube™ “stars”
in the East Room of the White House. The
brainiacs in the West Wing envisioned an event that would draw a younger
audience—the ones who get their news from Twitter and Facebook—hoping to bring
public policy to them on a personal level.
One woman, most
famously known for eating Froot Loops® directly from a bathtub and opens each
of her YouTube™ uploads with, “Hello! This is GloZell!
Is you ok? Is you? Good, cause I wanted to know!” joined a 19-year-old whose
claim to fame is crafting videos and admitted she “never really followed
politics that much” and a guy who hosts a YouTube™ channel with this brother to
push his State of Union message.
According
to The
Daily Mail, not only was it a PR disaster, but the “50-minute YouTube™
interview was a national joke before it was half over.” The article noted that at its peak, slightly more
than 84,000 people were viewing it according to live counts displayed by
YouTube™. The whole thing smacked of the
satire of The Onion.
William Jacobson, proprietor of Legal
Insurrection, believes the stunt was brilliant “because it put the
more-hostile-than-they-were-six-years-ago MSM in its place while turning the
dial up on the White House’s cool factor and creating the illusion of
accessibility.”

The problem with the @GloZell interview is for the DC press corps. They aren't getting the president for sitdowns. #LapDogs

At
his website, Grenell opines:
“Republicans who mock President Obama’s interviews with the three popular YouTube internet stars make a serious mistake. While the Obama White House is completely incompetent and weak, they know how to spin everyday Americans. The Washington, DC media crowd, including conservative media, preaches to the choir of news junkies. The idea that you can win a modern presidential election without being modern is what should be mocked.”
“How can it be that some Republicans still don’t understand that young people aren’t watching Meet the Press? In fact, news junkies are watching less Meet the Press. Young people are getting their news from YouTube, Facebook and Ellen. And Team Obama has largely monopolized the playgrounds where Millennials are hanging out.”

“Republicans are bound to lose the next presidential election again if they can’t communicate with new voters. Millions of people walk into the voting booth and vote for someone they like. News junkies and DC types casually refer to this as “Who would you want to have a beer with?” The sentiment is accurate but the analogy should be updated to ‘Who do you want to make a YouTube video with?’”
“I think this President is weak, bored with the office, and an incompetent leader. But he knows how to go around the DC media.”
Because these men are wiser than I am I will acquiesce
to their point, but only so far. While
The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer spoke to the nation on Tuesday
night Iranian-backed Shia rebels seized the Yemeni presidential palace. Two days later Yemen's President resigned shortly
after his prime minister and the entire Cabinet stepped down.
The threat from ISIS and al-Qaeda continues to grow at an
alarming pace. Russia’s Putin hasn’t
stopped threatening Ukraine. In his SOTU speech, TWMDCO boasted “We are demonstrating the power of American
strength and diplomacy. We’re upholding
the principle that bigger nations can’t bully the small—by opposing Russian
aggression, supporting Ukraine’s democracy, and reassuring our NATO allies.”
“Last year, as we
were doing the hard work of imposing sanctions along with our allies, some
suggested that Mr. Putin’s aggression was a masterful display of strategy and
strength. Well, today, it is America that stands strong and united with
our allies, while Russia is isolated, with its economy in tatters. That’s how
America leads—not with bluster, but with persistent, steady resolve.”
Russia continues to
supply troops and advanced weapons to the rebels as battles continue to
rage in Donetsk and Luhansk. You can
see the war-ravaged Donetsk airport here.
The president’s
remarks did not go unnoticed in the Kremlin. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov,
speaking Wednesday at a press conference said, “We hear from our Western
partners that Russia has to be isolated. Specifically, Barack Obama has just
repeated that. These attempts won’t be effective. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that
Russia will never resort to self-isolation.”
I could go on and on
about his disastrous foreign policy on a country-by-country, region-by-region
basis, but why bother. Everything is
peachy. How do I know? Because the smartest, coolest, hippest Preezy
of the United Steezy told me so. Every
utterance of his is gobbled up by the mainstream media like it’s a pot brownie.
“I have no more campaigns to run,” he told us Tuesday
night. Still, for two more years the
American people and the world will watch and be stupefied by the antics of a
sophomoric, thin-skinned little man who cares more about his party and his
legacy than the country he took an oath to preserve, protect and defend who
possesses an extraordinary and previously undocumented ability to fuck
everything up.
ISIS is shaking in their filthy pajamas
