Borger: Obama’s Ultimate Irony
October 30, 2013 by staff
Borger: Obama’s Ultimate Irony, Irony is a part of life, the cliché goes. And right now, President Barack Obama is living the part, in a big way: He’s the civil libertarian defending an activist drone program. He’s the liberal with a spy agency caught eavesdropping on the private conversations of friendly leaders. And he’s the high-tech health care reformer whose website got stuck at Go.
And so the ultimate irony may be this — a President who extols the virtues of government has now been sucked into the big government vortex, experiencing (up close and personal, as they say) what it feels like to lose control to the bureaucrats. The ones who are afraid to deliver bad news, not to mention those who don’t deliver the news at all. (As in, “the website crashed.”) And the surveillance chiefs who, um, didn’t initially volunteer that they’re spying on the private phone lines of America’s best friends.
Maybe the President needs to figure out some new communications tools to make himself clear. (As in, “Angela Merkel’s cell is not just another data point.”)
