When the likes of CNN’s Fareed Zakaria say you’re doing a great job, you’re in trouble. When the likes of Fareed Zakaria tell the president of the United States that he’s doing a great job, we’re all in trouble.
During the exercise in sycophancy that was his one-on-one interview with Old Joe Biden Sunday, Zakaria gushed improbably, “You’ve been a great president.” Oh yes, he did. Biden has driven the economy off a cliff, emboldened our nation’s most formidable foes worldwide, and made our Southern border a meaningless line on a piece of paper. He has poisoned race relations and overseen the introduction of the Left’s fascination with sexual deviance and perversion into our primary schools. He has struck against the very heart of the American Republic by declaring his principal opponent outside of the acceptable political spectrum and having him arrested in an obvious partisan witchhunt. Does Fareed Zakaria think all that and the rest of Old Joe’s sorry record is “great”? He probably does. And it’s even worse than that.
Zakaria made his risible assessment in the course of asking the howlingly corrupt octogenarian if it was time to go back to his taxpayer-funded walled Delaware beach house and let someone else wet his or her beak at the public trough for a while. He said to Biden, “You’ve often said when people ask you about your age, ‘Just watch me.’ And I think a lot of people do watch you and are impressed, and they think you’ve been a great president. You’ve brought the economy back. You’ve restored relations with the world. But many of these people do say, and these are hardened supporters of yours, ‘The next thing he should do is step aside and let another generation of Democrats take the baton.’”
“You’ve brought the economy back”? “You’ve restored relations with the world”? Come on, man! Can Zakaria really believe that? Maybe he does, but what he means by bringing the economy back and restoring relations with the world cannot be taken for granted. For Fareed Zakaria is arguably one of the chief theorists of America’s present decline. He undeniably has had a tremendous influence over the man who is widely reputed to be pulling Biden’s strings, Barack Obama.
Back during Obama’s first campaign for the presidency in 2008, a wire service photo captured him crossing an airplane tarmac holding Zakaria’s book, The Post-American World. Obama was holding his place in the book with his finger as if he didn’t dare put it down and lose his place. His interest in the book doesn’t appear to have been incidental; it may have given him the overarching goals for his entire presidency.
There is more. Read the rest here.
Bexarkat says
Why should we be worried? I can think of two reasons for not being worried. First, it was said by Fareed Zakaria and secondly, it was announced on CNN.

CNN’s Fareed Zakaria’s brain is beyond salvaging.
