'Narcissus And Echo: Obama And The Mainstream Media'

For some time now, it that the relationship between the Teleprompted-in-Chief and his fawning acolytes (carefully disguised at "The Media") has been an almost incestuous adoration.

But Robert Bowie Johnson, Jr. sees it from a different perspective. He says the relationship between the Obamanator and his Tank Media PR team resembles one of Greek mythology.

Noteworthy:

"It is troubling that our president is a pathological narcissist caught up in the thought patterns of Darwin, Marx, and Alinsky. Even more troubling is the fact that the Mainstream Media (MSM), suffering from an Obama-inspired narcosis, shirks its duty, refusing to publish or even explore any aspect of Obama's dark side. There is room for much optimism, however. If the ancient story of Narcissus and Echo plays itself out as Ovid recorded it, and Obama and the MSM are their contemporary counterparts, both will fade away in the not too distant future......

....What of Narcissus? Abandoned, without an Echo, he becomes distraught and pines away, utterly consumed by his passion for his image. Those who search for his body can find only his namesake Narcissus flower. Obama will also disappear from the scene, a pretender caught in a trap of his pride's own making. Those who search for his substance will not be able to find it. He will become the symbol and memory of a time when too many Americans lost their moral and spiritual bearings, abandoned foundational principles, and all-too-eagerly embraced 'a reflected form which has no substance of its own.' "

Let's hope Mr. Johnson is prescient.
