In 1837 Hans Christian Anderson published a short story titled “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” In the story some swindlers convince the Emperor that they have created new clothes that are so fine they are invisible to those unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent. Since no one was willing to admit they couldn’t actually see the clothes, including the Emperor, he ended up going out in public stark naked. Then a little kid, who hadn’t got the memo, pointed out the obvious that the Emperor wasn’t wearing any clothes at all.
Today we are seeing the modern version of this fairy tale; it is sadly all too true. No one in the main stream media or the liberal left can bring themselves to acknowledge the truth. We elected a naïve incompetent, inexperienced, lying radical who had accomplished nothing. Why on earth would anyone expect this man to suddenly become competent? Why would anyone expect him to show the leadership that comes from experience? Why would anyone expect him to tell the truth about anything when it was obvious he was lying about everything. Why would anyone so radical to respect our constitution or the rule of law? Why would anyone expect a man who had accomplished nothing to suddenly start to be effective? The real shock would have been if the results had been different. Obama has always been covered with the invisible cloak of greatness that only existed in the myths invented and sustained by the naïve and fawning main stream media. Some people realized this from the start. Others were more than willing to believe the myth. Now it is brutally honest that this cloak of greatness never existed and Obama stands before us now, completely naked.
Obama promised the most transparent of administrations and he has kept his promise. We can all see right through him. To those who are aware, he is impossible to even watch. It is hard to observe this man pretending to be a leader without being embarrassed for the country that put someone like him in power.
The liberal left and the main stream media are still trying to carry the water for Obama, but they know the truth. While you still hear people try to defend him, primarily by blaming everything on Republicans, no one looks to Obama for leadership. The best they can do now is desperately attempt to convince themselves it wasn’t really his fault. But the truth is now impossible to ignore. Obama has no clothes, he never had any clothes.
