Seriously, folks, we&#8217;ve been told for years now that this supposedly all-knowing, Athena-wise character, Obama, who seems to have sprung like that goddess, full-blown from some unknown head of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Athena#Birth\">Whoziss<\/a>, is the brightest light in every room, if not every country in the world. Yet, through the past three-plus years, we mere mortals have witnessed national and global events that lead us to believe this bright, shining god has some really big feats of clay. And perhaps an intellect of the same sticky substance.<\/p>\n<p>Far from the ObaMoses he presented himself as being to the world, a tan, man-god who could, among other feats, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oQNkVmdicvA\">command the seas to do his bidding<\/a>, our pinto-gened president, has revealed himself to be much more like the pale, foiled and wet-footed King Canute than the desert-darkened biblical savior of god&#8217;s  chosen people. Yeah, his <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Canute#Ruler_of_the_waves\">Canutian feats<\/a> are all wet now and they appear to be swelling painfully and perhaps fatefully as this <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Janus\">Janus-like<\/a>, dubious deity finds it increasingly difficult to show first one face and then another, even to the shrinking crowds of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ambrosia\">ambrosia<\/a> drinkers (that&#8217;s Kool-Aid for those of you out there in Rio Linda) who seem to be awakening. They, somewhat later than the rest of us, are becoming aware of the growing odor of this guy&#8217;s malodorous feats when we catch him with his political sneakers off. <\/p>\n<p>Yes, even among some of the fervent disciples, there is a <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/article\/721241\">growing realization<\/a> that a sun-bright brilliant, black cerebral hemisphere combined with a truly dim-bulb white hemisphere (and yes, as whites, surely we all must accept the collective blame for that failure in spite of his being granted every affirmative action, educational advantage our nation has to offer) is going to yield a really mediocre result in governance and leadership, somewhere at the level of say, um, maybe an admirably and slightly above-grade performance community organizer, hmm? Perhaps even a mediocre, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=m6Fp_hTO0kU\">present-voting<\/a>, Democrat state senator. <\/p>\n<p>But that could only be in Illinois or California, of course.<br \/>\nIn 2012, Publicus Americanus, is awakening to its own 2008 folly of believing that a god had returned to earth to save us from our myriad follies. Almost four years into the political continuum, they have had ample opportunity to learn one of the fundamental lessons of the ancients:<br \/>\nMen who would be gods all too often trod across our world with feats of clay. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Think about it for a moment: If that black half of Obama&#8217;s brain is as brilliant &hellip; <a title=\"Feats of Clay&#8230;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=30705\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Feats of Clay&#8230;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":622,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[186,46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2012-election","category-barack-obama"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30705","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/622"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=30705"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30705\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=30705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=30705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
