Since no one was willing to admit they couldn\u2019t actually see the clothes, including the Emperor, he ended up going out in public stark naked.\u00a0 Then a little kid, who hadn\u2019t got the memo, pointed out the obvious that the Emperor wasn\u2019t wearing any clothes at all.<\/p>\n<p>Today we are seeing the modern version of this fairy tale; it is sadly all too true.\u00a0 No one in the main stream media or the liberal left can bring themselves to acknowledge the truth.\u00a0 We elected a na\u00efve incompetent, inexperienced, lying radical who had accomplished nothing.\u00a0 Why on earth would anyone expect this man to suddenly become competent?\u00a0 Why would anyone expect him to show the leadership that comes from experience?\u00a0 Why would anyone expect him to tell the truth about anything when it was obvious he was lying about everything.\u00a0 Why would anyone so radical to respect our constitution or the rule of law?\u00a0 Why would anyone expect a man who had accomplished nothing to suddenly start to be effective?\u00a0 The real shock would have been if the results had been different.\u00a0 Obama has always been covered with the invisible cloak of greatness that only existed in the myths invented and sustained by the na\u00efve and fawning main stream media.\u00a0 Some people realized this from the start.\u00a0 Others were more than willing to believe the myth.\u00a0 Now it is brutally honest that this cloak of greatness never existed and Obama stands before us now, completely naked.<\/p>\n<p>Obama promised the most transparent of administrations and he has kept his promise.\u00a0 We can all see right through him.\u00a0 To those who are aware, he is impossible to even watch.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n<p>The liberal left and the main stream media are still trying to carry the water for Obama, but they know the truth.\u00a0 While you still hear people try to defend him, primarily by blaming everything on Republicans, no one looks to Obama for leadership.\u00a0 The best they can do now is desperately attempt to convince themselves it wasn\u2019t really his fault.\u00a0 But the truth is now impossible to ignore.\u00a0 Obama has no clothes, he never had any clothes.<\/p>\n<p>TDM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1837 Hans Christian Anderson published a short story titled \u201cThe Emperor\u2019s New Clothes.\u201d\u00a0 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 &hellip;
