Next Up: Watch For The Obama Humility Tour

Oh, ouch! This is going to leave a mark. No doubt we'll now be seeing the humility tour fresh on the heels of the Obamessiah hubris tour we just witnessed. This man transcends time. He wakes up every morning on November 5th. Why wait for a pesky election. Perhaps his aides are scouring signed something or others to disqualify his competition, just as he did to win for the first time in Chicago.

Barack Obama has long been his party's presumptive nominee. Now he's becoming its presumptuous nominee.

Fresh from his presidential-style world tour, during which foreign leaders and American generals lined up to show him affection, Obama settled down to some presidential-style business in Washington yesterday. He ordered up a teleconference with the (current president's) Treasury secretary, granted an audience to the Pakistani prime minister and had his staff arrange for the chairman of the Federal Reserve to give him a briefing. Then, he went up to Capitol Hill to be adored by House Democrats in a presidential-style pep rally.

Relax, Obamaniacs. Even as I write, Obamaides are sequestered in a bunker plotting how they can now present Obama in all of his God-like humility. This election may just be fun to watch, after all.

If we get rid of Bush (that is, if he decides to leave), I don't care if Howdy Doody is sworn in. The Bush legacy is riuned and shamed. The Bush dynasty is toast - and good riddance. The Bush family is a cancer on America, and it must be treated as a cancer so we don't go through this again.

This election IS fun to watch. Ted "prison bitch" Stevens just provided the midweek hilarity! Even if that splotchy little old man were to win, NOTHING will get passed. Imagine how angry he'd be then!

[IslamoLlama]

LOLS! My god, this is rich.

Barack Obama is acting like the President, BUT HE'S NOT! HE'S NOT THE PRESIDENT! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME THINK HE'S THE PRESIDENT! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MOMMY!

Rich stuff. I wonder, upon seeing the votes come in this November, how many Republicans will be physically reduced to tears. Maybe they should just change GOP to WATB now and save everyone some confusion.

[Mr DeBakey]

Damn Lie-brul MSM
Pimping for Obama again!

They do it every day, it makes me so angry.

[Spartan112]

Was anybody saying this stuff on McSames world tour? Now McSame puts out an ad comparing Obama to Britney and Paris??? Someone is running scared.

[JustOneMan]

Under pressure to change the negative news cycle Obama does what he does best...read a speech...here is a fresh transcript..strange but its sounds some what familiar

"I say to you today, my friends, so even though I am totally unqualified to lead this country today or tomorrow, I still have a speech. It is a speech filled with stolen lines and written by a staff member. I have a speech right here on this teleprompter."

"I have a speech that that says that one day this nation will vote for an unqualified man of color and piss on the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." Except if you are a minority like me a greater equability - remember I am the affirmative action candidate!"

"I have a speech that my two little children will continue to live in a nation where they will be given preferential treatment and be given 20 extra points on all tests for just writing their names due to the color of their skin and not because of their intelligence."

"I have read a speech today."

Barry Hussien Obama
I have a speech that I am reading off this teleprompter that says that one day, black boys and white girls will be able to join hands have babies and have those babies be abandoned by their black fathers as my father did to me.
I have a speech today.

[Drex Davis]

The irony your liberal commentators here are missing is WHO wrote the story.

Dana Milbank. Let that sink in.

Dana Milbank.

I think someone just threw a snowball in Hades.

Obama is in much bigger trouble than they know (well, they're probably waking up to it today and mad scrambling behind the scenes, because this spells BIG TROUBLE).

Dana Milbank turned on Obama. Wow.

[MarkJ]

To all the moonbats who have posted above:

Thanks for your comments. Not everybody is as willing, or as able, to display their Obama-thrilled, glassy-eyed, citizen-of-the-world, "conditions-based" stupidity as you, so do carry on!

[Spartan112]

"Barry Hussien Obama

Two things: What time do you pick up your hood at the dry cleaners and second, what is John McCain's middle name?

[templar knight]

Spartan, your sheet routine is soooo 1960s. David Duke and all those guys wear suits these days, or so says the guy who runs the Southern Poverty Law Center, and I think he knows. So ixnay the eetshay. Capeche. Besides, this is about the third time you used it on this blog. Try to be more original.

[SacTownMan]

"Try to be more original."

Brother Knight you crack me up! Are you honestly asking a troll to be original?

These guys are stuck in a "moonbat talking points" time warp and haven't had an original idea since they started their Daily Koz addiction!

Next thing you'll be asking them to have a sense of humor, move out of their parents house or even to start using a toothbrush!

What's next, anger management classes!

[BobInStamford]

Redneck America NEEDS a black president. Hussein cannot ban guns and tax nascar fast enough.

The surge WORKED!! Iraq is FREE!!!

[templar knight]

"America needs a black president."

Got anybody in mind, Boob? Obama is mixed race, not black enough to be 'really' black, but is an oreo. You know, black on the outside, white on the inside.

[BobInStamford]

Oreo?? Is that nice?? Do you like it when people tell you that your kids are dumb?

Surge on, oil baron!!

I love what wikipedia has done to Barack's entry:

Many psychologists have commented on Senator Obama's narcissistic tendencies, classifying him in a borderline condition known as a "dandy" narcissist, while others suggest he demonstrates "metrosexual" traits. A dandy is a man who places particular importance upon physical appearance, refined language, and the cultivation of leisurely hobbies. Some dandies, especially in Britain in the late 18th and 19th century, strove to affect aristocratic values even though many came from common backgrounds. Thus, a dandy could be considered a kind of snob.

The Dandical Body from Sartor Resartus by Thomas Carlyle:

"A Dandy is a clothes-wearing Man, a Man whose trade, office and existence consists in the wearing of Clothes. Every faculty of his soul, spirit, purse, and person is heroically consecrated to this one object, the wearing of Clothes wisely and well: so that the others dress to live, he lives to dress...And now, for all this perennial Martyrdom, and Poesy, and even Prophecy, what is it that the Dandy asks in return? Solely, we may say, that you would recognise his existence; would admit him to be a living object; or even failing this, a visual object, or thing that will reflect rays of light..."

(And you thought the lightworker references were accidental?)

Still other personality analysts suggest that Senator Obama has progressed to the level of clinical narcissistic disorder. In this condition, a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following[1]:

1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance
2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. believes that he or she is "special" and unique
4. requires excessive admiration
5. has a sense of entitlement
6. is interpersonally exploitative
7. lacks empathy
8. is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her
9. shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

Seriously... run down the list, especially after his comments from his whirlwind world tour, his ignoring the troops when the cameras couldn't come, his claims that when he's the leader of the world, he will require everyone to step up, his projection that in spite of absolutely no expertise or experience whatsoever in anything material (other than shaking down Chicago businesses for donations and getting out ghetto trash to vote), and you can't miss on the clinical diagnosis.

Barack, the Claudius of our era.

[Worst President Ever]

Obama, speaking to reporters outside a diner in Lebanon, MO, at first did not answer a question about the ad. Then he said,.

"You know, I don't pay attention to John McCain's ads, although I do notice he doesn't seem to have anything to say very positive about himself. He seems to only be talking about me. You need to ask John McCain what he's for and not just what he's against," he said.

[Worst President Ever]

redherkey - man, that's a whole lotta misinformation in one post. Even McCain's given up the Obama snubbed the troops chant.

If you really want to talk about clothes, whatta think of McCain's $500 Ferragamo's?

As an arm-chair psychiatrist, you suck. Seriously.

[redherkey]

Lame. Of course, it's consistent. Just as Obama has serious narcissistic problems, McCain's an equal head case. He's fiercely proud of being a loser. It's more than being a Maverick - he seems to define himself as enjoying suffering. I don't know if it was a survival technique he attained in Viet Nam or what, but it's problematic. He's like the guy who responds to your punch by cutting off his arm and yelling "Oh yea? Top that! You want to see me cut off a leg too?"

Of course, the unfortunate presumption in your post is that everyone who is critical of the clueless narcissistic one is pro McCain, or pro Republican. This libertarian would love to see Sen. Stevens do the perp walk (along with every other criminal in Congress). Instead of defending a worthless poseur with zero experience, or worse, showing you've drunk the KoolAid the party elites have offered, credible skeptical individuals would admit Obama's a nightmare candidate. It's going to come down to who stinks least. Narcissist or Masochist.

[Spartan112]

Hey red, I wonder if you didn't hear, his not visiting the wounded in Germany had nothing to do with Cameras. He visited troops in Iraq and a Walter Reed without cameras present. The only thing that kept him away was a fear that the other side would use it against him politically once the Pentagon had made an issue of it.

Also, what "leisurely" hobbies are you referring to? Basketball? Kicking geriatric ass?

[Spartan112]

Oh, and let's face it, anyone who runs for president has a streak of self importance, overconfidence, narcissism whatever you wanna call it. How else could a broken down drunken three time loser like W end up President?

[Spartan112]

BTW, here's the full quote from Obama that seems to be causing such a stir...

"[O]ne leadership aide said the full quote put it into a different context. According to that aide, Obama said, "It has become increasingly clear in my travel, the campaign -- that the crowds, the enthusiasm, 200,000 people in Berlin, is not about me at all. It's about America. I have just become a symbol."

Which is completely consistent with what he's said all along...

* The New York Times wrote of Obama in a December 2006: " 'It is flattering to get a lot of attention, although I must say it is baffling,' Mr. Obama said here [in New Hampshire] late Sunday afternoon. 'I think to some degree I've become a shorthand or symbol or stand-in for a spirit that the last election in New Hampshire represented,' he said, referring to the losses of two incumbent congressmen here in November. 'It's a spirit that says we are looking for something different -- we want something new.' "
* The Associated Press wrote in February 2007 about an appearance Obama made at George Mason University: " 'This crowd is not about me, it's about you,' he said. 'I've been a receptacle for your hopes and dreams.' "
* The Cleveland Jewish News quoted Obama in March 2007 stating: "I am an imperfect vessel for all your hopes and dreams. ... At times I am tired, I falter, I make mistakes. The election is not about me. It's about you."
* In the October 2007 issue of Essence, journalist Gwen Ifill quoted Obama stating: "Everywhere we go we've been seeing these terrific crowds. ... Twenty thousand people show up in Atlanta. Twenty thousand people in Austin, Texas. We had 15,000 in Oakland. People have asked me what accounts for all this. ... I would love to take all the credit myself and say it's because I'm just so terrific. But I have to say it's not about me. The reason people are coming out is they are burning with a want and a desire for change."
* The Cleveland Plain-Dealer reported in February: "Obama, who capped the first day of his weekend Ohio bus tour in Cleveland Saturday night, said he is humbled by the historical weight the city's black community has ascribed to his candidacy. 'It's very important for me to understand that those feelings are not about me,' he said during an exclusive Plain Dealer interview between campaign stops. 'They are about us; they are about America. People feeling moved and hopeful about what has happened in our lifetime.' "
* Obama said in a May 6 speech: "So don't ever forget that this election is not about me, or any candidate. Don't ever forget that this campaign is about you -- about your hopes, about your dreams, about your struggles, about securing your portion of the American Dream."

[redherkey]

Spartan helps demonstrate why nothing a liberal ever does works. Whether it's a government program or an argument, their intellectual ineptness and confusion comes through every argument.

Consider:
>Oh, and let's face it, anyone who runs for president has a streak of self importance, overconfidence, narcissism whatever you wanna call it.
The "everyone else does it" argument. So tired and unoriginal. In the theory of argumentation and debate, the instance of one contrary example to this claim causes the argument to fail. While it's easy to argue that Bush II failed to demonstrate narcissistic qualities (take a look at the professional classification and be objective, though most liberal persons lack the capacity for objectivity), numerous others such as Ronald Reagan, Walter Mondale, John Anderson and even Jimmy Carter were clearly not narcissists.

> How else could a broken down drunken three time loser like W end up President?
The "let's make exaggerated personal attack claims" argument. You left out Nazi, Chimp, Hitler and the usual uncontrollable stream of potty language liberal minds are cluttered by. How can one objectively assess whether W is a "three time loser"? Naturally, the subjectivity of the definition is problematic, and pinning a liberal down on a definition is nothing more than a futile game of squishyfish (incidentally, you will eventually discover their minds are incapable of precise definition and they muddle through life constantly shifting definitions in order to rationalize poor decisions). Since we can't measure intent objectively, we need to look at measurable outcomes. Using "failure" as a proxy for "being a loser," I'm certain Bush failed more than three times. Crap, if three was it, he'd be teaching Mother Teresa a thing or two. Speaking of, read a summary of her book and learn about that failure thing. Most great people are quite self-critical and tough on themselves for their failures. Incidentally, the "three time loser" model is equally problematic in that it doesn't assess successes. Who is a great success? It's clear you've never read about successful people - Steve Jobs, Jack Welch, Alan Greenspan, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, you name it have all had failures. Look at history's greatest - many great leaders had incredible failures that caused them to restructure and prioritize, building a foundation for their ascent. The fact that so many liberals make the argument you have only conclusively tells us that you lack the skills to introspect and become an individual of any real worth to society.

I think the three-time loser standard is going to be nonunique. I doubt you'll find anyone who matches that standard, except for slackers who never leave mom's basement, smoke dope all day and never try. Then again, that's a loser by default. The loser standard is also problematic per its population bias towards those who initiate more risk-taking behavior. Those who try harder things, lose more often. Whereas someone like you would probably brag about kicking 9-year-old girls butts in fights and parade around as a "winner," others of us take on serious challenges with much greater difficulty -- boxing a Mike Tyson and surviving a mere three rounds before a knock-out might be a loss on the books, but given that level of competition, it's a win.

While responding to liberal trolls is normally a futile exercise, I wanted to illustrate for others why the liberal method of thinking is a path for a futile, achievementless, useless and maddening existence. You produce nothing and subsequently must be a parasite off of hard working conservative persons to sustain a lifestyle you don't deserve. You could be of value to the rest of us, but all the problems in your head that prevent you from objectively assessing situations causes you to never reach that goal.

The good news for the rest of us is that the oil shock has caused many previously unaware "Boxers" (per Animal Farm analog) to become aware of just how much the liberal pigs have been sucking off of them. Liberal parasitism worked when it was subtle and there were no other shocks. Now that the mosquito on the arm has been discovered, it's just a matter of time before it gets swatted. Expect to produce or suffer, my friend.

"Ronald Reagan, Walter Mondale, John Anderson and even Jimmy Carter were clearly not narcissists."

Ronald Reagan was an actor, that practically defines Narcissis. As for the other three, you may have a point on them but considering all three of them got stomped in the general election so maybe they weren't overconfident enough.

As for W being a 3 time loser...his record speaks for itself. He was a multiple time failed business man and an intellectual lightweight.

"the usual uncontrollable stream of potty language liberal minds are cluttered by" And you claim I make exaggerated claims? Find one potty mouthed quote I've made here...go ahead. Heck I'm sure I've sworn once or twice, but it's certainly not my MO.

"Whereas someone like you would probably brag about kicking 9-year-old girls butts in fights and parade around as a "winner," others of us take on serious challenges with much greater difficulty -- boxing a Mike Tyson and surviving a mere three rounds before a knock-out might be a loss on the books, but given that level of competition, it's a win."

Yeah ok...you had to go and pick the most overrated pro boxer of the last 50 years to make your point...

"Surge on, oil baron!"

Thanks, we have had quite the year. Sometime next month, if we continue our string of good fortune, we will have our 100th oil well, something I never expected to see. But we've made eight straight wells without a dry hole, and we're drilling an offset to our best producer ever next month. Just doing our part to bring oil prices down, Boob. You should thank us for that, but of course I didn't expect a scamp like you to appreciate anything.

"Oreo, is that nice?"

I don't think it is nice at all, and is quite derogatory, but you should speak to the people who use the term on a regular basis. You know, the black people who accuse conservative blacks of being oreos. As usual, you got it wrong. Leave it to a liberal to blame something they do on someone else. Hypocrisy at the highest level.

"why nothing a liberal ever does works."

Why don't you post some of hte accomplishments of Libertarians. teen we can compare and contrast.

As for liberals, lets start with Civil Rights. Not perfect, but better than it was 50 years ago.
