Frank Rich Goes There: Obama as hollow as Tiger Woods? by route66 Sat Dec 19, 2009 at 07:39:51 PM PST Frank Rich takes a look back at the decade in his Sunday NYT column, and what he sees ain't pretty at all. Though the American left and right don't agree on much, they are both now coalescing around the suspicion that Obama's brilliant presidential campaign was as hollow as Tiger's public image - a marketing scam designed to camouflage either his covert anti-American radicalism (as the right sees it) or spineless timidity (as the left sees it). The truth may well be neither, but after a decade of being spun silly, Americans can't be blamed for being cynical about any leader trying to sell anything.

Tiger's off-the-links elusiveness was no more questioned than Enron's impenetrable balance sheets, with their special-purpose entities named after Star Wars characters. Fortune magazine named Enron as America's most innovative company six years in a row. In the January issue of Golf Digest, still on the stands, some of the best and most hardheaded writers in America offer tips Obama can take from Tiger, who is typically characterized as so without human frailties that he never does anything that would make him look ridiculous. There is truth in Rich's rant, regarding Iraq, we wanted to suspend disbelief. Much of the country, regardless of party, didn't want to question its leaders, no matter how obviously they were hyping any misleading shred of intelligence that could fit their predetermined march to war. Rich takes issue with Time Magazine's choice of Ben Bernanke as Person of the Year and has instead named Tiger Woods As cons go, Woods's fraudulent image as an immaculate exemplar of superhuman steeliness is benign. His fall will damage his family, closest friends, Accenture and the golf industry much more than the rest of us. But the syndrome it epitomizes is not harmless. We keep being fooled by leaders in all sectors of American life, over and over.

Predators, which is now in production, is conceived of as a sequel of sorts to the original Arnold Schwarzenegger film, with the added s an homage to James Cameron's classic Alien sequel, Aliens.
