"I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions," he said. This man is delusional.

I can’t believe that I’m actually wishing that Hillary finds some way to steal the nomination.

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.

Libtards replying to the Weisman’s blog are hollering about his unnamed source for Barry O’Bama’s outrageous statements. Weisman’s source was named Extremely Envious Demokrat. There were a couple of hundred of them at the luncheon.

"You see, Dr. Stadler, people don't want to think... So they'll bless and follow anyone who gives them justification for not thinking. Anyone who makes a virtue-- a highly intellectual virtue-- out of what they know to be their sin, their weakness, and their guilt." --Atlas Shrugged Wow. I've have said for months this guy is dangerous. He has been called many, many things including inexperienced and naive. I would warn all here reading we keep saying we know nothing about this guy. And the truth is WE KNOW NOTHING. Little circles of fraud and now a potential criminal issue with the highest levels in Iraq? C'mon, this guy is slick. Someone said on the other thread this morning this guy might be better than the Clintons at 'slick.'
We may have fallen for the biggest 'slick trick' in the primaries.

Other questions were on the nations need for infrastructure needs, the budget deficit and Obamas assessment of Iran after his travels in the Middle East.Obama said the deficit could be narrowed by stopping the Iraq war, ending tax cuts for the wealthy and bringing down levels of obesity to 1980s levels< to keep Medicaid costs in check.
Fat chance

"I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions," he said. His ego actually eclipses those of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton.

You know, no wonder the world’s dictators love him so. They are looking forward to inviting him into their club.

from post #8 link....
The Democratic presidential candidate told the group that the positive response he received in Germany and the rest of Europe was not about him, said House Democratic Whip James Clyburn of South Carolina. Rather, Obama said he was a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions. Lawmakers gave that remark a standing ovation.

I can’t say what I want to write. I can’t stand seeing him or hearing about him. I wonder when his ‘crowd’ will wake up and discover that ‘the thrill is gone’

Well, he has that whole Robert Mugabe thing down pretty well.
Once he gets his domestic army legislation through, he can change the name of hid party to "Zanu PF West"

The big 0 is just like masturbation, a few seconds of excitement, then you have to wash your hands.
