He is incapable of caring for justice or taking constructive criticism. He falls apart like a jelly fish grounding on the beach. This private army thing is a “me too” “real soldier” agrandizing kind. It’s all for attention. There is no sense at all to his policies. It’s all absurd, and, as one poster stated, he claims he has no ideology but supports an ideology.

I think if Obama is the new Lincoln he better not go to the Theater

Poor President Lincoln!! The folks in the Land of Lincoln, both states, are quite upset. One asked me, what is it with socialists, marxists, and communists that makes them all want to hijack his good name. First eh gays, now this poser.

[TheThinker]

first we are bitter clingers and now we are samll thinking ideologues filled with prejudice and bigotry.

Obama doesn't have the credibility to lecture us about bigotry after his stint at Trinity United Church. He really isn't post-racial at all. He perpetuates racial strife.

LOL! Nice picture, but that's an Emmy she's holding. I remember the oscar outfit because of the necklace she was wearing. What can I say? I'm a lover of diamonds.

I agree it is cult-like and am wondering which group or major supporter will have the courage to stand up and say “It is not about the man, there is something wrong here.”

I don’t think Liberals have that type of courage.

He’s touring the brain dead even before the funeral is announced.

Obama’s popularity is frightening. It is reminiscent of the adulation accorded third world dictators, and with so many people in America from those self-same third world ratholes, its not surprising.

Your post reminded me of how true symbol over substance is. In the midst of the Princess Di soapper Mother Theresa died. I remember Dan Rather reporting the news in this way.”From India, word today of the death of Mother Theresa. Mother Theresa was a friend of Princess Diana.” end of story.Symbol over substance indeed. We live in the Oprah times which have led us to the Obama times, and which may be leading to the American Republic’s end times.

There are few things in history more dangerous than demagogues who seek the perfection of man. They first really manifested themselves in the form of the architects of the French revolution and attained their apotheosis in the 20th century in the form of Lenin, Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot. The founders never expected that any form of government could be perfected, given the fact that they generally accepted the Christian notion of the fallen nature of man, hence they dispersed governmental power so as to minimize the effects of corruption, and added a constitutional amendatory process.

This is why hearing such proposals from a political creature who hails from the most corrupt environs of Chicago leftist gutter politics is so troublesome. He has said that he rejects the constitutional constraints placed upon the constitution by the founders. I think that he intends to destroy its most important provisions.
