Barack's Secretary of State: Ocean's Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen

Richard Hobbs's picture

The idol worship just keeps coming, but this time I wonder who is worshipping who.

Now George Clooney is becoming a close confidant to Barack, emailing him daily, text messaging him and even talking to him twice a week to discuss foreign policy matters, including telling Barack of his Pro-palestinian plans.

Whew!

At least he's not associating with advisors that are racists, terrorists, or marxists as much as he used to.

Now he's taking advice from an actor.
Then again, I think George has more foreign policy experience than Barack. Clooney filmed a film or two. One dealing with nuclear terrorism and another on corrupt Army soldiers in Iraq. That should cinch the deal for the independent voters.
Clooney named Secretary of State In Barack Adminstration!

The money quotes:
One of Clooney’s trusted acquaintances said: ‘George is a master at crafting his own image and he is helping Obama to hone his image both domestically and abroad.

The acquaintance added: ‘He has tried to keep the true extent of their involvement out of the Press because he is frightened of alienating voters.’

Clooney himself has admitted in an interview: ‘I’ve had the conversation with him saying, “Look, I’ll give you whatever support you need, including staying completely away from you.”’

Has it ever dawned on any of you how many friends and advisors of Barack have to "pretend" not to be his friend and advisor out of fear that their relationship might alienate them?

The more we learn about Barack, the more we are told we haven't learned anything about Barack.

Clooney as Obama "advisor", not true....

"Now George Clooney is becoming a close confidant to Barack, emailing him daily, text messaging him and even talking to him twice a week to discuss foreign policy matters, including telling Barack of his Pro-palestinian plans."

Not true, Richard.

"The Obama-Clooney story was concocted from anonymous sources. Yet it spread throughout the world within hours. It was quickly picked up by The Drudge Report and television networks ranging from Fox News to NBC. The overall result served to bolster Republican candidate John McCain’s dubious contention that his rival Obama is a vapid “celebrity” rather than presidential material."

Because a publicist representing Clooney had said offhandedly that the actor and the candidate had indeed “spoken” in the past, Churcher said in her mind that counted as “a confirmation” from Clooney that he was an official adviser on Middle Eastern affairs and body language and that the two were in constant contact.

Clooney’s representative Stan Rosenfield said his office merely confirmed to Daily Mail reporters that, in the past, the actor had spoken to Obama, but he did not give them any details about the conversations. Rosenfield said he thought Republican tricksters might be behind the concocted story. Of course, he added, now that the article is out there, “one of the problems of this world is unringing a bell.”

This is really important stuff, Richard

It's so vital to know which Hollywood stars support whom. How else is one supposed to know who is the more qualified candidate?

I'm sure John McCain claims Reagan as a backer - oh, wait, he's dead; never mind. And McCain's already brought Paris Hilton into the mix, and she obviously adores the "gray-haired dude." So that's one on his side - sort of. But let's see. . . Who else? Oh yeah, Charlton Heston! Oops, he's dead, too, dadgummit, and Moses can be shown only in really old poses.

Then there's the Governator, but his "endorsement" of Exxon John has been less than full-throated. I suppose that leaves only Clint. At least Dirty Harry likes him.

Only Clint? Surely you jest!

You have forgotten about Stephen Baldwin (Alex’s brother), you probably know him best from his TV movie “the Snake King” or the voice of Barney in “The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas”. He promised to leave the country if Obama gets the nomination. Delta's ready when he is.

And Heidi Montag of whom McCain said, “She’s a very talented actress. I’m honored to have Heidi’s support and I want to assure her that I never miss an episode of The Hills, especially since the new season started.” McCain wants his MTV!

And of course comedian Rush Limbaugh.

A dead Republican's endorsement is better than Clooney, Jeff

I'd take John Wayne's, Bob Hope's, and especially Ronald Reagan's endorsement, albeit, posthumously given, than anything that Clooney or Streisand will offer.

Talk about Limosine Liberals, Argh! I thought Barack was a NEW and NON-Partisan Candidate of Change. It seems he is hanging around the same Hollywood naredowells that Kerry surrounded himself with.

But give me all of the Jimmy Stewarts or Audie Murpheys, you take the Michael Moores.

Oh, did you boy tell you I stopped by? Ridin' my HOG!

You can’t have John Wayne, without his endorsement and hard work for the Panama Canal Treaty it never would have passed. You can’t have Reagan either. He was a Republican and a conservative; why on Earth do you think he’d endorse McCain?

Can you think of anybody still alive?

Yep, he told me some guy was claiming to be Chinese stopped. He’s not old enough to drink and didn’t recognize Yeungling.

Don't you wish Bush would "pretend" not to be McCain's friend and adviser out of fear that their relationship might alienate voters?
