Jonathan Weisman is reporting on his "The Trail" blog that presumptuous Democratic nominee Barack Obama told House Democrats that he believes himself to be the symbol of all that is good in America. It appears that he is beginning to believe the over-the-top hype that he really is the Obamessiah for America. So, will this little Washington Post blog post make waves in the media? Will Barack's increasingly out-of-control ego become the talk of the day?
Weisman reports that candidate Obama met in a closed door meeting with House Democrats and he let loose with a "real zinger," as Weisman put it. He told the rapt audience of House members that his candidacy was the moment "the world is waiting for" -- as if the whole world clamored for his presence? He went even further than that proving that he may be losing touch with reality and believing his own surreal campaign rhetoric.
"I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions," he said.
Wow, the arrogance in that. The hubris, the astounding hubris of it all is overwhelming to anyone that knows even a tiny bit of human history. This is the sort of thing if said by a Republican would be hung around that candidate's neck like a mill stone. The epithet of "arrogant" would be the tail pinned forever to him and would appear in every single news story. Should a Republican bespeak of himself in such terms, he'd be branded the next Hitler leading us all to ruin.
Why Obama gets a pass for this sort of messianic rhetoric is amazing to me. It also amazes me that his string pullers are allowing him to speak like this. He is building himself up so high that he cannot possibly maintain this level of acclaimed perfection of purpose and spirit. If he wins in November, when the inevitable compromises and missteps begin to occur, and his high flung rhetoric begins to ring hollow, he will assuredly fall far faster and much farther than any common politician. Certainly his reputation as the new messiah will not be able to stand the tarnishing of real life and his mind-numbed fans will awake from their stupor and find themsleves livid at his failures?...

YEAH right
Let him go! The guy will certainly explode in flight!
He is actually a symbol of Marxist ideology!
It was recorded on PartriotPost that Obamarx definition of sin was anybody who did not agree with his values.
Sick Man!!!!!!!!!!
Ha! Talk about ‘delusions of grandeur’!
I hope he keeps this up. He’s showing the extent of his arrogance more and more each time he opens his mouth!
He’s a symbol of affirmative action. Giving someone special, unearned privileges because of the color of his skin. That’s all he is. And that is not one of our best traditions.
The Weather Underground, for example...
As if he has a clue!
he's a symbol allright
Keep talking, Barack, keep talking...
Assuming a Marxist affirmative action baby whose only discernible job is “community organizer” embodies America’s best traditions.
I guess if you believe America’s “Best Traditions” were those followed in the Carter Administration, then Nobama’s probably spot on.
A friend of mine said every time he talks his numbers go down.
Pride comes before a fall...
Hey fellow freepers, is it just me, or is anyone else out there a little afraid of BO falling too fast, and giving the super delegates an excuse to throw him under the bus for queen Hillary?
I know how hilarious that would be, but I think she has a much better shot at winning than BO. He is a LOSER and it’s starting to become apparent to even the star struck glassy eyed hero worshippers I’m afraid.
If asked, my garbage man would say he’s also a community organizer..
