This man is running for President because he believe he deserves to be President. Why? Because of a speech he made in 2004.

Can Obama articulate why he has supposedly become this symbol?
I thought not. Just as he cannot articulate what “change” he would bring.
He is the least qualified major party candidate in American history. He is a blow-up doll running on nothing but empty rhetoric and race.

"This is the moment . . . that the world is waiting for," adding: "I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions." OK, this is all starting to sound a bit...apocolyptic.

Barry's 2 for 2 on the pride & haughty spirit rating.

It's in there:
The Atlantic's Marc Ambinder reported last week that Obama has directed his staff to begin planning for his transition to the White House, causing Republicans to howl about premature drape measuring.

"This is the moment . . . that the world is waiting for," adding: "I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions." Obama's head must be about ready to explode. The constant "this moment, I am a symbol, the world this and that" hogwash is just astonishing to watch.
As pointed out, name one accomplishment that this guy has done to warrant this suddenly perceived greatness. I am starting to think that he actually believes this BS and has moved beyond hubris into a messiah complex.
God help us if enough fools buy what this guy is shoveling and put him into office.
Check out this video that shows how he is starting to be perceived as some sort of prophet (complete with plenty of crosses and the hymn "Amazing Grace" playing):
"Lord Protect my family and me

The Friends are discussing this now...and how many of the Drive-Bys are getting turned off by Barry's arrogance.

Hey, Barry--get over yourself ping!!!
From the Washington Post today:
Inside, according to a witness, he told the House members, "This is the moment . . . that the world is waiting for," adding: "I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions."

"LordProtect my family and me. Forgive me my sins, and help me guard against pride and despair. Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will." So much for that.
To: Miss Didi
Thanks for the ping!
He seems to have the despair part under control, but the pride could be a problem.
It's not even close to pride. It's at least arrogance, but probably more like narcissism.
In the latest issue of the New Republic, Gabriel Sherman found reporters complaining that Obama's campaign was "acting like the Prom Queen" and being more secretive than Bush. The magazine quoted the New York Times' Adam Nagourney's reaction to the Obama campaign's memo attacking one of his stories: "I've never had an experience like this, with this campaign or others." Then came Obama's overseas trip and the campaign's selection of which news organizations could come aboard. Among those excluded: the New Yorker magazine, which had just published a satirical cover about Obama that offended the campaign.
When the New Republic and the NYT start to turn on you, you know you've got problems.

"This is the moment . . . that the world is waiting for," adding: "I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions." Wow ... His ego is off the charts.
I'm beginning to think this half-term senator actually believes he IS the messiah.

I would like to hear what those best traditions are.The Carter years. Appeasement and Malaise.
To: Bahbah
Maybe it’s because I’m pre-caffeinated, but I was trying to think of a smart aleck answer to his “best traditions” but can’t figure out to what earth he is referring.
What “best traditions” has America moved away from?

I'm beginning to think this half-term senator actually believes he IS the messiah.It reminds me of this old joke...
In a psychiatrist's waiting room two patients are having a conversation. One says to the other, "Why are you here?" The second answers, "I'm Napoleon, so the doctor told me to come here." The first is curious and asks, "How do you know that you're Napoleon?" The second responds, "God told me I was." At this point, a patient on the other side of the room shouts, "NO I DIDN'T!"
