What About The Myth That He Is President?

Salon has come out with a laundry list of “myths” being perpetrated upon His Royalness The Most Holy O – you know, the guy that Newsweek’s editor calls “God.”

Some of these are simply hilarious in their defenses. Some examples:

For the “myth” that Obama can’t function without a teleprompter, they admit he indeed uses one, but whips out the popular logic of a twelve year old – but everybody does it! But they wind up having to admit he uses it more than his predecessors, and uses it in places like rodeo rings, press conferences and “casual announcements.”

For the “myth” that Obama is the Antichrist (how do you prove or disprove that one yet? – j/k), they use as proof the admission that the winning lottery numbers in Illinois the day after he was elected were 6-6-6. Yep, that’s some good proof.

For the “myth” that Obama and other lefties want to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, they fall into a convoluted explanation that revolves around the fact that if they change the name of it, it’s no longer the same thing. Ahhhhh…..now we see.

For the “myth” that stimulus money will be spent on the high speed rail between Las Vegas and Disneyland, they do admit that Harry Reid has boasted about this, but they combat the myth by saying, well, the money hasn’t been spent yet, so there.

For the twin “myths” of Obama is a Socialist or Facist, they use pretty much the same argument – he’s not a COMPLETE Socialist/Facist, so you can’t ever say he has leanings towards one or the other. You can’t say it or claim it. Ever. So there. I guess if someone kills 99 people but lets #100 live, you can’t call them a murderer.

For the “myth” that Republican dealers were targeted for closure in the Chrysler debacle, they pull out the fact that a disproportionate number of dealers were Republican to begin, so you should expect more Republican dealers to be closed. Funny how that reasoning won’t wash with lefties in the capital punishment and/or prison argument.

I am not even going into the “myth” about Obama wanting to raise taxes. They scrunch right into the leftie chant of “raising taxes on the rich.” I guess only the rich smoke, and I know for a fact that companies never, ever, ever pass tax raises onto consumers.

Thanks, Salon. That was fun.
