What if Obama were truly gutsy and competent?

That is obviously the premise of White House Down, a spectacularly ham-fisted piece of liberal propaganda, nicely demolished by Katie Yoder over at News Busters.

The thing is laughably predictable: hip black president vs. evil, racist right-wingers (it might as well have been produced by David Axelrod, in cooperation with Michael Moore).

I’m afraid Obama has yet to find his Leni Riefenstahl - although there is no end of aspirants to the role in the news media, as well as in Hollywood, faithfully propping up the shaky cardboard image of their increasingly dubious Übermensch, and (to switch metaphors in midstream) cheerfully building gaudy, yet incongruous, word pyramids in honor of their stick-figure pharaoh.

Nope.

The goofy bastids couldn't find a way to work Sarah Palin is as a diabolical villain? How lazy.
