This is nothing more than a bare-knuckled smear job, a despicable attempt to use allegations of mental illness to discredit someone who ran afoul of Barack Obama for taking the independence of his job seriously. That may play in Chicago, and it used to play in Moscow, but it shouldn’t play in Washington DC and America.
Exactly. The Former Commie Union used to - and I suspect the current fascist Russia still does - stuff their mental hospitals with “crazy people” who ran afoul of the state. The logic was brutally simple: Anybody who would oppose the state was, ipso facto, insane.
That socialist Chicago thug Obama would play the game the same way it is played in communism’s mother ship shouldn’t surprise anybody who’s been paying attention at all.
I would add that this is a far more important issue than whether or not David Letterman gets fired for being an asshole. Obama must learn that he is not a God-Emperor, and cannot simply run rough-shod over the other two pillars of government in order to protect his corrupt cronies and his sources of corrupt funds.


I expect we’ll see episode #1472 in the continuing saga of mainstream media bias. If this were a Republican president, Walpin would be on every news or opinion show available, and an army of baying hounds would be trying to dig up every possible morsel to prove malfeasance on the part of the president. If it were a Republican, it would be the lead story in the NYT for about six months running.
Instead, they’ll swallow the crazy thing whole, and salve their own conscious by “presenting both sides”. So it’ll be “The President says he’s crazy but he denies it.” That will be their version of fair and accurate journalism.
I’ve long felt revulsion towards the media’s combination of arrogance, bias, and incompetence. But I reached a point of no return in the last year. If someone claims the media isn’t biased, I refuse to argue with them and immediately classify them as a complete idiot.
