Conservative Musings: Shiny Objects And Political Campaigns

Barack Obama Confirms
Republican Suspicions About
Liberals with This One Statement

Barack Obama was asked about Bernie Sanders

popularity, and his answer included an assessment

of liberal voters that we've all suspected to be true

for quite some time:

President Barack Obama believes that

much of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ support comes from Democrats

who are frustrated with how former President Ronald Reagan set the terms

of political debate and are seeking a “shiny object” in comparison to Hillary

Clinton, who he said is ready to take the job from day one.

Obama went on to suggest that Republican primary voters were just

“venting” with their support for real estate mogul Donald Trump and

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and that they will “settle down” when the party

nominates someone.

“I’ve gotten to know Hillary really well, and she is a good, smart, tough

person who cares deeply about this country, and she has been in the public

eye for a long time and in a culture in which new is always better,” Obama

said in an interview with Politico published Monday. ”You’re always looking

at the bright, shiny object that people don’t, haven’t seen before. That’s a

disadvantage to her. Bernie is somebody who although I don’t know as

well because he wasn’t, obviously, in my administration, has the virtue

of saying exactly what he believes, and great authenticity, great passion,

and is fearless. His attitude is, ‘I got nothing to lose.’”

Democratic voters are attracted to bright, shiny objects, much like lemmings enjoy racing

to the the short end of cliffs.
