Barack Obama and his team agree: At 46 years old, with no military service or foreign policy experience, having only spent three years as a United States senator, he is master of the universe.
Susan Rice, Obama's senior foreign policy advisor, informed the German news magazine Der Spiegel in an interview published today that her candidate "bows to nobody in understanding this world."
Rice prefaced this conceit by relating his world travels: "Senator Obama has travelled to Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South Asia many times before. He lived in Asia."
This evening ABC News Nightline will broadcast an interview with Obama conducted after he met with Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki and Gen. Petraeus today in Iraq.
Obama's arrogance shone through as he dismissed Petraeus' concerns about Obama's plans for Iraq:
"My job is to think about the national security interests as a whole and to weigh and balance risks in Afghanistan and Iraq. Their job is just to get the job done here, and I completely understand that."
Obama, in his arrogance, failed to recognize that Petraeus, having recently been promoted to head up Centcom, which oversees both Iraq and Afghanistan, would also be looking at Iraq from the same perspective.
Obama also made clear he worked to undermine President Bush's negotiations with the Maliki government on the new status of forces agreement:
"I made very clear to him that we have one president at a time. And it is the job of the Bush administration to work with [the] Iraqi government. I am a United States senator, I can present my views as a candidate and I can present my views as a senator who believes that we can't bind the next president to an agreement that involves us committing troops or budget."
While Obama has not been elected yet, he and his team are acting like it is all over but the swearing in ceremony.
His presidential-style rally being held in Berlin later this week is one more example of the self-crowning of Obama.
Many an arrogant man who 'bowed to nobody in their understanding of this world' have found themselves to be proven disastrously wrong. Unfortunately the world usually pays a horrendous price for their arrogance.
Berlin is a good city for Obama to learn a valuable lesson or two. However, the lessons of Berlin will likely be lost on him.
In the Der Speigel interview, Rice said of Obama: "He sees the world as more complex than simply good versus evil"
For more than half a century, Berlin was the front line in the battle between good and evil in the world--from the rise and fall of Adolph Hitler through the rise and fall of the Berlin wall.
However, a man who has foretold his own coming ("we are the ones we have been waiting for") may be too far gone already.
I remember once listening to a co-worker opine that terrorists attack us because of our policies, and if we'd just change, they'd change. I said, "I know! It's like men who beat their wives. If the wives would just do what they're told, they wouldn't get beaten! I mean, duh!"
He was outraged. It was fun.
He did say he was raised by strong women, didn't he? Women think this means he's not misogynistic. What it really means is that he's a spoiled little prince who is accustomed to strong women... worshipping him.
The Roman Emperors declared themselves to be Gods. Following them, the European kings declared they ruled by ‘divine right’ and their actios were therefore inspired by God and inviolable.
Here we go again.
The bible mentions the destructiveness of feminism in the same verse as it does rebellious, tyranical children.
“This guy sounds like an ignorant brand spankin’ new 2nd lieutenant mouthing off to his sergeant major. Somebody needs to dent that ego a bit.”
You nailed it exactly. I was thinking the same thing - he sounds like a Massachusetts ensign right out of the Academy.

[snip] It Has Begun... Obama Supporters Torch Clinton Backer’s Property [end]
I can’t find a link to that video which I am sure my friends would enjoy. Can you post it?
which video?
And the MSM has howled for the last several years about Bush’s arrogance. Bush pales in comparison to Obama’s outrageous arrogance. Obama attempts to supercede all human beings, all good men and women in this Country in the arrogance category.
Obama outreaches, outstretches, and attempts to boil us all. HOW CAN ANY American accept this extreme pretense at an American way of life.
