“Has anyone heard of any other people who have written TWO books - about themselves?”
Amazing he could fill up two volumes considering how little he has accomplished.
I predict the wheels will come off.
No one can sustain this kind of hype.
I sincerely hope your inferred meaning will happen.
I agree and McCain of all people could do the best job of slicing him up.
Sounds like something a Muslim would say.
I think despite my reservations about McCain, He prolly knows a thing or two about biding his time.
When I read "Senator Obama has travelled to Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South Asia many times before. He lived in Asia..." I thought "Hey, I have travelled to Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South Asia many times before (or at least...before...:) and I lived in Asia...
Why should I BOW to him? Heck, I at least served in the Military!
I think these folks have no idea what they sound like to normal people.
John Kerry was labeled “arrogant” and it killed his campaign.
Kerry was running against George W. Bush and Karl Rove. Obama is running against John McCain. A big difference.
But even John McCain cannot stop the 527’s? yes?
This man is dangerous beyond comprehension.
Good point! Ronald Reagan’s policy was to hire the best people and get out of the way. Lincoln hired some of his greatest critics to serve in his cabinet. Both these great leaders humbly bowed to the expertise of others. Obama and his “cult” supporters really believe they know it all. Political leaders, doctors, second lieutenants, teenagers and others who think they know it all inevitably learn otherwise. Unfortunately, know-it-alls often injure others as they gain experience. A president who knows it all (despite very limited real world experience) is a frightening prospect.
Good one!
I agree. Pure cult of personality. And he really doest have charisma. Its like he is a B grade puppet.
The Barakchurian Candidate
I have to disagree with Rice. I think Obama's view of what is good and what is evil are very warped. He is inclined to view the U.S. as an agent of evil and the terrorist nations as merely troubled and conflicted. He promises to reform the U.S. foreign policy in such a way that terrorists won't have a reason to fight with us, or to kill innocents in their own backyards... As if U.S. policy and aggression are the cause rather than the effect.
Obama's view of "good", however, is probably slanted toward the arrogant belief that he has what it takes to meld the private sector's productivity with the public sector's expansive reach. In short, he must think that he has what it takes to make Socialism work in our country, and that Socialism's global failures are merely the result of the lack of enlightened leadership.
But the catch is that Obama is no more able to make Socialism work in our system than those who tried to implement it in other systems. In fact, our system of states in a federal union makes such implementation more difficult, and the end result of an attempt at the Federal level to implement Obama's platform would be economic ruin for all 50 states and the associated territories, as well as economic ruin for every single Socialist economy in the world that relies on the U.S. economy to keep currency in motion and to provide a safe haven for capitalism so that products and services continue to be purchased, sold, imported and exported.
In short, if the U.S. economy is ruined, the last of the supporting pillars for every single Western socialist democracy will fail as well, and where will we be then?
This guy doesn’t even know he isnt the candidate yet
And he was born in Africa.
I was listening to “Voice of Russia” and they couldnt be more delighted to play sound bites from Obama.
He is PERFECT Propaganda
