Like it’s been some big, huge secret up to now, the press is starting to admit just how much they’re being pimped by the perpetual campaign machine of the soon-to-be-inaugurated-get-it-over-with-already as the Very Most Historically Historic First Black President Ever, Barack (the Obamessiah) Obama. They’ve even coined a couple of words for the new phenomenon, “polebrity” and “celebritician.” Oh, yeah, we be big pimped.
Claiming that the Obamessiah tires of the adulation, (like anybody’s seen any evidence of that) the Telegraph, reporting from Washington, D.C., puts the onus for the “new” media management strategy on those anonymous information leakers, “Democratic strategists.” Guess these British guys never heard of David Axelrove and “Astro(turf rat)fucking:”
But Democratic strategists say his aides have seen an opportunity in the insatiable appetite of the public for information on the new first family.
They plan to use Mr Obama’s status as the world’s leading “Celebritician” or “Polebrity”, offering pictures of the Obama family and soft focus interviews with glossy magazines to maintain his popularity and help sell his political plans directly to middle America, starting with his plans for a trillion dollar stimulus plan to kickstart the economy.
Using his celebrity to appeal to the public over the heads of his opponents in Congress is just one way Mr Obama hopes to change politics in Washington. He is also planning to mobilise his vast network of supporters, and the database of 13 million email addresses he gathered during the campaign, to build pressure on Senators and Congressmen to push through his ambitious agenda.
Now the “news” that the president-elect got to be the president-elect by pimping the “news” media is being pimped by the president-elect in the “news” media. Gotta love it. The story goes on to tell us that after Obama’s Secret Service detail helped set up the Buff Barack Beefcake pictures in Hawaii, the jig was up, the cat was out the bag, the flimsy cover was blown:
After pictures of Mr Obama shirtless on a Hawaiian beach over Christmas made headlines around the world, paparazzi firms set up shop in Washington. They predict that a photograph of Mr Obama smoking (a habit he has vowed to quit) would fetch up to $100,000.
Gary Morgan, a British journalist who runs Los Angeles-based Splash News, one of the largest paparazzi agencies in the world, says Mr Obama’s Secret Service men assisted his photographers in getting pictures of the President-Elect on the beach.
He said: “Obama is the paparazzi president. The Secret Service was very cool with us. They knew what we wanted to do. They told us if we stuck to certain areas, we would be fine. They got to know who we were and it was very pleasurable working with them.”
Mr Morgan said Mr Obama has a “canny media team” who are “going to take full advantage of using people like us as well to get the message out.
Yeah, that “canny media team” has gotten him elected in every campaign he’s run since 2004. A scorched earth, “by any means necessary,” news manipulating, fake support manufacturing dream factory without scruples will do that for just about any “celebritician” willing to pimp any bitch lacking the self-esteem to resist giving him the profits from selling herself cheap. Why should the mainstream media tabloid paparazzi press be any different?
The American public isn’t, a fact the Axelfucking Obama campaign/transition/administration team is banking on and currently pushing in every former- and current-ly major news outlet from the Washington Post to You Tube. In fact, President You Tube is the feature photo in the Chris Cizilla’s WaPo article bending over for the Holy Black One:
President-elect Barack Obama announced the formation of a new group known as “Organizing for America” that aims to continue the grassroots advocacy that the former Illinois Senator began in his presidential campaign.
“As President, I will need the help of all Americans to meet the challenges that lie ahead,” Obama said in a video message e-mailed to supporters (and reporters) this morning. “That’s why I’m asking people like you who fought for change during the campaign to continue fighting for change in your communities.”
The new group will be the flagship of “Obama 2.0″ as many people have taken to calling the transformation of the political organization created during the 2008 campaign.
The new group will work within the Democratic National Committee — led by Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine — to advance the Obama agenda. “President-elect Obama has laid the foundation to meet the great challenges facing our nation, but we can succeed only if we build grassroots support for the administration’s agenda,” said Kaine in a release announcing the formation of Organizing for America.
That WaPo would see no possible problem or conflict in this unholy alliance is not surprising, since Brother Love dropped by their pad to grease them up as they dropped to their conveniently padded knees before he sent them out to trick on his behalf. If you’re the priest doing the altar boy, you probably don’t see much wrong with the Scout leader picking him up for a long weekend. The New York Times, who didn’t get kissed by Big Daddy, has a round-up of slightly less favorable, but not really contentious, reports. You never know, IceBark Slim might decide to show them some love after all.
And don’t expect the full-court press pimping to lessen any time soon. In fact, I can almost guarantee it will soon intensify to unfathomable degree, with David Axelrove not only moving into the White House to sleep between his puppet and his mate, but giving up his day job to do it. According to Marc Ambinder:
First, David Axelrod, Obama’s chief strategist, will give up an equity stake in his consulting firm, AKPD, Inc., (The K stands for John Kupper, the P stands for David Plouffe, the D stands for John Del Cecato.) Plouffe will be a senior adviser to the firm. And Larry Grisolano, a.k.a “Gris,” a long-time Democratic consultant and an early Obama aide, will join the firm as a partner. Grisolano managed the campaign’s targeting efforts and paid media expenditures; Del Cecato wrote, directed and produced many of its ads. I forget what Plouffe did, exactly, but his name sounds familiar.
Ha, ha, Marc. You know as well as I do who David Plouffe is. I believe his official title is “fluffer.”
Oh, and I found this interesting.
Ugh, did you have to use the pic of him with the man tits? Thank gawd it’s cold right now in DC or we’d see a lot more of that type display. Apparently though, he and Michelle are expected to dine out more in the city than the Bushes did, so I’m sure he’ll find other ways to pimp ‘em.
The question is not IF there will be an interdiction of Obama’s Presidency by the Supreme Court, the questions are WHEN and HOW that interdiction will transpire — that is, if the USA is to continue as the Constitutional Republic that now exists.
