MSNBC Ed Schultz Says The White House Is A Shrine to Obama
MSNBC's Ed Schultz on radio saying that the West Wing of the White House has been turned into a "shrine" to President Obama.
Ed Schultz on Visiting White House: 'Almost a Shrine' - to Obama
Agreed, this doesn't come as much of a shock. What's surprising is that Schultz said "almost".
Here's Schultz on his radio show Friday talking about meeting with Obama advisor David Axelrod at the White House the day before, along with fellow liberal radio host Bill Press and several other left-wing media types Schultz did not identify.
SCHULTZ: First of all you walk into the White House, in the West Wing, and there are picture all over, I mean everywhere! Of President Obama! I mean, of his life in the first year as president of the United States. Now I don't know if that's the way it is with every president, but it was almost a shrine. I mean, well, here's a picture of Obama the president with his kids over here. There he is getting on Air Force One. Here he is with some military people. Here he is on the line working the line at one of his campaign stops. I mean, just, it was just one picture after another! (laughs)
And so I got the message right away that there's nothing but Obama fans in the White House which I think is a good thing. 'Cause it's always good to have the team together, right? (laughs)
I'm not sure which is more bizarre -- Schultz not realizing this doesn't speak well of Obama, or Schultz saying "I got the message right away that there's nothing but Obama fans in the White House." This constitutes a "message"? What was he expecting, a tea party protest?
As if those "Obama fans" have much say about photo homages to Dear Leader. Instead of that, how about photographs and illustrations of previous families who've lived in the White House? Or portraits of staffers who've worked there for decades? Or character studies of men and women in uniform, whose service helps the current occupants of the executive mansion sleep soundly at night. Perhaps even -- dare I say it -- art?

“you walk into the White House, in the West Wing, and there are picture all over, I mean everywhere! Of President Obama!”
Sounds like Chairman Mao-itis.
One thing that is common about dictatorships is there seems to be hugh portraits of “Dear Leaders” on every street corner(Hussein, Mao, Chavez, Castro, etc.). I’ve been in fear of it happening here in the US with Obama. It sounds like the White House has already gone that route.
What an insult to our heritage. All the brilliant, patriotic men who have occupied the White House (well, not all of them) - but then this skinny usurping anti-American baboon.
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
—Emma Lazarus, 1883
******************************
Give me your Jihadis, your submissive thoughtless warriors,
Your huddled masses yearning to make IEDs in Chicago,
The wretched refuse of your World Caliphate.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed jihadists to me,
I lift my lamp beside this golden door!”
—Barak Obama, 2010

I suppose it's typical of a narcisisstic personality to do this. There are probably mirrors in between the photo's. Is there a balcony on the White House where he can speak to his serfs?
I rearranged Emma Lazarus' sonnet to speak to the Mopar lovers among us. But that was for a different blog, in a happier time.

Ever notice how he's always looking down his nose at others?

yeah, didn't Mao have his picture everywhere? Same with Castro, Stalin and Adolf. This whole charade is all about obama, serl-centered, self-serving, gratuitous schmuck.

This is not surprising. Barry "I just love myself sooooo much" obama is a narcissist on the order of Stalin or Kim Il Jong. He probably has mirrored walls around his shitter.
