Tattle tale

From 1709-1711, Addison and Steele in "The Tatler," tried "to pull off the disguises of cunning, vanity, and affectation." Luckily, 300 years later, some writers and thinkers still try to expose current examples of these 3 disguises in the Obama administration. The followers of Obama exhibit typical passionate behavior which tends to forget what's wrong with their passion and to blind themselves to how much is the right amount of passion in their cause. They trade the big view for one focused and contracted which, of course, distorts the shape of reality. Call them Obamaites, socialists, Communists, liberals, progressives, whatever - they always self-identify when they try to disguise themselves. Yes, they are deceptive, vain( with a narcissistic leader in the White House) and filled with airs of superiority.
OWS is a microcosm of their type of targeted and irrational activity. Keep up the good work, satirists, analysists, bloggers and commentators, keep tattling on them (as opposed to us and yes, us vs. them) by pulling off their disguises.
