Peggy cites the pop-culture glitterai who are ga-ga over Obama; opines on his book; and concludes he's a narcissist. Caveat Emptor.

BFLR.
What is a TME man?
The next step will be to play the race card.I can hear it all now-"He's qualified,but you won't vote for him because he's a black man."Who even knows who this guy really is?
The orgy of idiotic media pandering (with Idiot One, George Will, now joining the pack), is enough to cause rivers of vomit the flow.
Thanks.
Once again, some good points, but Peggy has totally lost it. The clear implication, though not quite stated, is that Bush is as bad a president as clinton, and now we're in for a third crazy president.
Good grief. Bush has his faults, but compared to clinton? Compared to Lhama Hussein Obama?
Peggy, I hardly knew ye.
Caveat Emptor should be his campaign slogan. What has he ever accomplished?
Obama serves their purpose now. He is a black, muslim-sounding name (although reportedly Christian). It goes directly to the belief that the liberal scumedia believes America is Islamophobic now.
A few years ago, when in danger of putting a conservative at the head of the GOP (Bush), they clamored for McCain. Now that McCain is a possible frontrunner, watch them attempt to sack McCain.
The Dems love to nominate fellow glitterai:
Jaahn Kerry
Bubba
Scoopy in the Abrams tank
Jeemy
John F. Charisma Kennedy
I'm half blind. Radiation therpay fried my eyes.
It seems to me that our political history has been marked the past 10 years by lurches, reactions and swerves, and I wonder if historians will see the era that started in the mid-'90s as The Long Freakout. First the Clinton era left more than half the country appalled--deeply appalled, and ashamed--by its series of political, financial and personal scandals. I doubt the Democratic Party will ever fully understand the damage done in those days. In reaction the Republican Party lurched in its presidential decision toward a relatively untested (five years in the governor's office, before that very little) man whom party professionals chose, essentially, because "He can win" and the base endorsed because he seemed the opposite of Bill Clinton. The 2000 election was a national trauma, and I'm not sure Republicans fully understand what it did to half the Democrats in the country to think the election was stolen, or finagled, or arranged by unseen powers. Then 9/11. Now we have had six years of high drama and deep division, and again a new savior seems to beckon, one who is so clearly Not Bush.I'd say she sees this pretty clearly.We'll see what Sen. Obama has, what he is, what he becomes. But right now he seems part of a pattern of lurches and swerves--the man from nowhere, of whom little is known, who will bring us out of the mess. His sudden rise and wild popularity seem more symptom than solution. And I wonder if historians will call this chapter in their future histories of the modern era not "A Decision Is Made" but "The Freakout Continues."
Now you BushBots be sure and flame the Hell outta me. (Ohhh, Peggy wrote unkind words about President Bush!) As if I care!
Must be the "charisma" bit...
We have the antidote for this poison: Condi.
George spent too many years cavorting with Sam Donaldson.
Sometimes Peggy loses her balance trying to be fair.
Dubya was dealt the worst hand since FDR. He'll be remembered for a Reaganesque performance in the two years following 9-11.
He got elected to the Senate from Illinois, a staqte where Richard J. Daley Sr. is still voting early and often.
