Jonah Goldberg says Obama has Puss in Boots eyes



The undoing of Obama, America’s storybook man

It was the Puss in Boots eyes.

If you’ve seen the “Shrek” movies or the spinoff cartoon starring the storybook cat voiced by Antonio Banderas, you know what I mean. Whenever Puss in Boots really needs something, he flashes these enormous kitten eyes that melt anyone in their path. Whenever my daughter really wants something, she tries to lay them on me, and I have to say, “Stop trying to give me the Puss in Boots eyes … you can’t have chocolate cake for dinner.”

I knew Barack Obama was miserable when he tried to give debate moderator Jim Lehrer the Puss-in-Boots eyes. “You may want to move on to another topic,” Obama implored Lehrer, a bit like a motorcycle thief begging a cop to take him into custody rather than let him stay with the surly biker gang that caught him.

I expected Romney to beat expectations and win the debate, not because I thought Romney was such a fantastic debater, but because Obama is the single most overrated politician of my lifetime.

I lump him in with his mother (forget her first name and don't care), Ann Coaltar, this married couple that were rabid right-wing lawyers (wife was named Virginia and husband was a squat ugly guy; forgot their names and don't care). Wow, blast from the 90's!

She still has a web forum. My sister is a member.

The other people you reference are Victoria Toensing and Joseph diGenova.

Nightmares from the past.
