Obama's Growing Messiah Complex
Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 6:37 PM

Charles Krauthammer on the Barackopolis going up in the Denver stadium (HT: RobinsonandLong.com):

The Berlin folly -- in English.

The Superbowl Halftime Show -- without the game.

What's the finish? Maybe Obama’s got Zhang Yimou to do the hidden-rope trick, and have him lifted, Beijing-style, to the heavens when he’s done. Will he reappear three days later at the Bird’s Nest?

Or maybe he'll just do a Napoleon and coronate himself. By the time Napoleon made himself emperor, he had won the Battles of Lodi, of Arcole, of Rivoli, of the Pyramids and of Marengo. And had promugulated the Napoleonic Code. He had yet to write a single autobiography.



And from Great Britain's Telegraph this story on Obama's non-bounce:

Barack Obama was due to arrive in Denver on Wednesday to claim the Democratic nomination amid fears that his party is split and he is being eclipsed by Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Opinion polls show that Mr Obama has received little or no "bounce" from the start of his convention or his picking Senator Joe Biden to be his running mate. The Gallup daily tracking poll had Mr Obama up by one percentage point on Monday but Mr McCain ahead by two on Tuesday.

You clowns can carp and whistle and chortle and sob at the the release of every new poll. We Dems are just going to grind and grind until November rolls around--and when it is done, you're gonna be a bloody pulp..

In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as 'one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.' This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says 'Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.'

Obama and don't forget "QUEEN" Michelle
Obama has to have all this pomp and cicunstance to hide is lack of experience and his background, he is a hollow suit, reminds me of a barker at a fair. Michelle is one hard core woman, I watched her during Clinton speeches but especially when Hillary and Bill were speaking. She DID NOT like the applause they got.Obama and Michelle are the most arrogant people, their sense of entitlement is a laugh. this man can't help this country, he hasn't a clue, he is the racist. Michelle tries to pass herself off as "JACKIE O" She has a very hard edge which shows, and as for her speech, it was phony. They are a real danger to this country especially with his associastion with terroists. Iran can't wait for him to be president. Putin now is geting into the act, they see a chance to walk all over him, even they can see he doesn't have the knowledge to be preident and they love it. His grandeur of hollywood so called stars, big scenery background can't hide what he is all about. Americans better start to worry if he gets elected,Biden looks like the president more than Obama does, but the bottom line is Obama doesn't know anything, he is all show boating and this country needs someone to be able to face the foreign nations. Michelle needs to get some class and poise, go home and rule your own million dollar mansion.

Obama's truths, NOT EXACTLY. PT 1


If you think you know Barack Obama, read this to understand just who Barack Hussein Obama REALLY IS

TERRY ANDERSON, A BLACK LOS ANGELES TALK RADIO HOST, WENT DOWN A LIST OF THINGS SENATOR OBAMA HAS SAID THAT ARE NOT EXACTLY CORRECT.

Obama's Not Exactlys:

1.) Selma March Got Me Born - NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google'Obama Selma ' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)

2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.

4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - NOT EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya . It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Oba ma, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone.
Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia Muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter.. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started.

One observation is that we the US sees the democratic party and Obama as that "cool dad." The one who lets his kids do whatever they want. You know the one who we compared our parents to when we were younger. "Why can you be more like him?" we ask. All the while wishing he were our dad, not because he's a better dad, but because we would get to do what whatever we want...It's time to grow up.

Pretty good to be a GOP-er right now. I'm afraid that the two-year blip in the sun that Pelosi, Reid and company had is about to end.

You said it. It is only when America gives up hope that McCain will win. So keep up the good fight.

Barack has his work cut out. Reep sleazoids and an insidious media arrayed against him--hope and the notion that America can live up to her ideals arrayed on his side. This election is between those who want the rush of moral superiority--even if it means driving their country further into the ground--or those who put moral decency above that gratifying rush. It really is a referendum on the character of the American people. Let's hope the majority of Americans have it in them to see past the incessant flimflam from the Reeps and their lackeys in the corporate media. Because whatever else, despite their inability to lead, their absence of moral authority, or even moral decency, today's Republicans are very good at the political technics of getting elected.

Anti-Obama Rap
By Robert Rakauskas

Yo there people of the USA won’t you lend me your ear
I know you’re fed up and want change in this election year
Behold the star I see in my political telescope
As your president I’ll light your life up with a ray of hope

My name is Obama
It, uh, rhymes with “Osama,”
A dude I don’t share much with, just the charge we both have hurled
That America is to blame for all the problems in the world
But call me Barak,
Hear how it rhymes with “Mr. Spock”
Though we also don’t share much in our TV careers
Just the fact that people are always staring at our ears

Now listen ya’ll to my plan for national unity
It’s that you’ll just shut up and obey if you don’t agree
And I’ll get our sick economy back on its legs
With a goose I have discovered that lays golden eggs

I’ll set a rich table,
Yeah, just like in some fable
Where all society’s victims will find plenty of room
Unless of course you’re just a baby in your mother’s womb

etc.

to convince americans to commit OBAMACIDE. Here are the facts, and the polls are now showing the facts, Obama is an unprepared, inexperienced, affirmative action candidate who could not make it in the field of law as a partner and so he 'chose' to be a 'community organizer' code for black panther tactics to work the govt. using poor black folk. And Americans KNOW THESE FACTS, the rest of them like you...will LOSE HOPING AND THEN ....grow up in a McCain administration.

Today he tried explaining that it's for the people because he is a grassroots kinda guy who believes that change is from the bottom (the bottom of the barrel with ayers, rezko, wright etc). Anyway, we the people say.....it is a waste of money and resources and now know we can't trust you to run our country wisely! Mbye bye Barak.....the tide is turning to McCain.....and it's YOUR convention.

Why vote for VP experience when you can vote for an experienced President? Only in Barack's world would this argument make sense.....like worshipping a black Jesus. Whaaaa I hear the clock ticking.

Greece had a pure democracy for a grand total of about 25 years in its history. The columns do not, do not pertain to democracy. They pertain to the cultic awaiting for gods or goddeses which the Greek patrons as well as the populace gave credit to for things such as battle victories, grain harvests et cet. Mercifully, BO will not be able to call lighting down from Father Zeus.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,412041,00.html

She is getting a lot of e-mails after Hillary's speech, and Obama still has a big problem.

Hillary and Bill don't want Obama elected. Which means Obama has to face the Republicans and Hillary...that is a very steep up hill battle.

Congress approval
The reason Dems are unhappy with Congress is because the Republicans are blocking everything. After the election, Congress will be much more Democratic, and things will get done with Obama in the White House. Watch the ratings go up then. BTW- has any President ever had lower ratings than Bush? The answer would be-no.

Sen. Obama, the Chance Gardner of 08
Fortunately, he won't be walking across the water at the end of the reel.

Sen. Obama might watch "Being There" when all this is over. It may give him peace of mind.

To be fair to the Junior Senator from Illinois, he's been pistoned up by others and has not had the proper sense of himself to avoid the roar building in his head as others sought to marionette him to their ends.

He is Chauncy the gardner without any of the humility and inner beauty.

Brigss is funny
"Senator Obama is the kind of guy who will keep his heart filled with love of the Lord and his fellow man."

And he will keep his campaign filled with lawyers in an attempt to stop first amendment rights available to the American Issues Project.

PLEASE, keep up the Messiah image.

They 'took back' the Congress in 2006. How'd that go???

(Here's a clue: SINGLE DIGIT)

I'd get a messiah complex too
if I had so many people trying to crucify me.

The blues say
pay no attention to the man behind that curtain. BO stinks (no, not redundant) and Dims are nervous. As they should be. They ate the bad onions and they're coming back up. BO's ONLY administrative experience is running a payola operation (aka Chicago politics) for a domestic terrorist.

Contrast that with his contender that served his country by, among other things, spending 5 and a half years as a POW. Several of those years after he COULD HAVE BEEN released and, because he chose not to be released, was beaten regularly.

Character, yup, WAY over rated; right Dims?

Luke Russert of MSNBC says
it looks bad for Obama among young people. When asked who they like best Obama wins that round but when asked who would be a better CIC McCain was the winner. Furthermore, young people don't find it unusal that a black man got the Democratic nomination or that a woman got a presidental nod. Remember they've grownup seeing African-Americans and women achieve greatness.

Celebrity
Poor Hugh. His Romney book has probably been remaindered to the 99 cent stores and he's forced to transfer his mancrush to the man he said wasn't a real republican and would ruin the party. What next, a pro-choice VP pick for McCain? What spin would HH, Medved,Hannity, Limbaugh and the other willing mouthpieces put on that? HH just doesn't understand the fact the Dems are fired up and ready to take back the country. He'll find out in November.

the best way to beat Obama

You gotta just hate and despise him. Hugh
is doing a great job of feeding us here everything
we need... And we buy into it...

Don't we ever learn?

i'm sure Hugh will post out of fairness.

Got integrity?

Notice how Hugh's voice...
is getting shriller all the time, like it did when Romney was going down in flames? The more things aren't going his way, he's like an animal backed into a corner, hissing and spitting at the opposition. It's fun to watch, actually!

"Bounce": How could they possibly tell?
Now I've heard this talking point from Hannity, Medved and Hewitt: "No convention bounce." How could they POSSIBLY tell? The poll would have had to have been conducted YESTERDAY, probably near the same time Hillary was speaking. Another wishful talking point from scared right-wingers. Give it a couple of days before your inevitable, grasping-at-straws, phony gloating begins.

(Hugh calls it a "fiasco." Again... pretty desperate so early in the convention. Does he have a time machine?)
Truthseeker writes: Wednesday, August, 27, 2008 6:58 PM
Amen, Becky and BibleTruth...
Yup, I've been saying it all along. HH hates McCain, will hold his nose and vote for him in November. In the meantime, he will tear down Obama any way he can instead of telling us why to vote for McCain. Would be truly hilarious if not so sad!

If the GOP has the better ideas, it will
You wouldn't even know if the GOP had any ideas by looking at Hugh's blog. Scroll through his blog entries and find me one that isn't just Dem bashing - similar to McCain's ads. Why? The GOP know it can't win on real issues. What are the offering that is any different than the last 8 years? Resko, Ayers, Infanticide...it's all just smoke and mirrors to deflect the fact that GOP policies have led to 80% of this country feeling like we are heading in the wrong direction. Seriously how is an incumbent party have a prayer of winning with 80% of the nation feeling it has failed them?
