Breitbart lays it down, on target.
I and close to 100% of the Republican, non-Obama-groupies I know have had the same thing to say about the election of Obama back in November. Disappointing, to the say the least. But we’re Americans and we accept the democratic process even when we’re not on the winning side of the decision. I sincerely hope Obama does well in office and that America does well with him. I disagree strongly on many of his policies but I wish him no ill will.
His mouthpieces in the MSM and Hollywood, on the other hand…
Well, I was going to write about that tomorrow but Andrew Breitbart beat me to it:
God bless, President Obama. Even though I didn’t vote for him, and disagree with much of his agenda, he has my best wishes and all of my best efforts.
But that doesn’t mean I will forgive and forget an era of narcissism, petty complaining and conspiracy theory peddling from the majority celebrity class that began well before Iraq. [See "Hollywood, Interrupted " -- my book co-written with Mark Ebner -- which was written before and during the build-up to the Iraq war and before the WMDs weren't found. The public behavior from Hollywood even then was almost uniformly deplorable.]
Conspiracy theories of America’s complicity in 9/11 dominated cocktail party discussions for eight tedious years. They couldn’t simply disagree with Bush. They had to ascribe evil to his motivations and make sure the whole world agreed on that flawed premise.
Yet, hating the president doesn’t mean one can’t still help out the country in a great time of need. But many went to foreign countries and demeaned it instead. Called those that disagreed with them rubes and hicks. The elitism of the celebrities against flyover country America could not have been more pronounced. They made a boat-load of movies that affirmed this narrow and patronizing world view.
And now they want us back.
Oh, it gets way better. Like him, I’m not just going to forget all about the crap I’ve had to listen to for 8 years and I’l damn sure be asking where their oh-so-sincere public conscience is when it’s the Obama administration that screws up. I’m guessing it’ll be met with silence but that never stopped them. They’ve got no one to blame for the toxic public environment but themselves.
