George Will on Obamas' Olympic Quest: "It Was All About Them"
Youtube ^ | October 05, 2009 | PoliticsNewsPolitics

Posted on 10/05/2009 10:13:14 AM PDT by RobinMasters

On "This Week," George Will says that the Obamas' trip to Copenhagen to try to land the Olympics for Chicago in 2016 was more about their ego than America.

"The President and First Lady went to Copenhagen and gave speeches about themselves," Will said, breaking down the number of times they used the words "I" and "me" in their speeches. "It was all about them," he said, concluding that like "Honest Abe" and "Tricky Dick" before him, the President might go down in history as "Vain Barack."

You’re so vain, you probably think this country is about you.

George Will needs to become more accomplished at using rhymes. If Tricky Dicky was a model then:

it’s “Vain Hussain”.

A good meme to attack The Kenyan is that he is suffers from delusions of grandeur and is mentally unstable.

“. . .the President might go down in history as ‘Vain Barack’ “

Notice that “Vain Hussein” rhymes better but was avoided for PC reasons, I’m sure.

One thing I thought was amusing, The left, primarily MSNBC and Air America and lib CSPAN callers put out the talking points that this is proof that “Republicans hate America” and “Conservatives hate america” .

Because dems have all the power now, these types of amusing unprovable accusations will be little help to thems in 2010 or even now (but to rally the liberal base for money), but I thought it was funny that they stole Mark Levin’s talking points (”Liberals hate America” ) repeated here.

BARAH "VAIN HUSSEIN" OBAMA.

We have one more accurate nomenclature of the "submissive" man who would be president.

He has everything but the lipstick.

And thats next.

I sat and watched the speech delivered live...and by the end...this “I” episode was more than just obvious. I’d like to see some comedian come up and just do a 6-minute Obama-speech....with just “I”.

How many speeches has Obama given where he used the phrase "It's not about me?"

“it’s “Vain Hussain”.

By George, I think you’ve got it!

Seriously, how can we make this label stick and gain common use. This is great. Let’s let Rush, Beck and the others know about it.

They had no chance.

Rule of sales #1: People buy things from people they like.
