"I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions."

Oh, for the love of crumbcake, this is getting so creepy.

I have been saying for weeks that Jonah Goldberg's book Liberal Fascism has really helped my understanding of Barack Obama. I have pointed it out in three other posts:

Barack Obama is a 1920s-style fascist

Early 20th century "progressivism" has returned...

Barack Obama: I AM America

Every time I do, I think to myself, oh dear, this is going to sound overwrought. I do it anyways, because truth is truth, and the truth is that Barack Obama talks about himself and his plans in the same transcendent, populist, cult-of-personality terms as the fascists of the 20s and 30s.

And I don't want to sound like a broken record with Goldberg's book, but folks, he has done history a real service with it. He has pulled truths back into the light of day that, without his efforts, might have become irretrievably lost in the left's mists of revisionism. It informs our understanding of so much of our history . . . and it looks like it's going to be very helpful in understanding Barack Obama and what he might do with power.

"I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions."

Democrats are trying to defend this, but there's no hiding the man's arrogance and will to power.

If I were to be elected president, I would try to follow in the footsteps of Washington, to see myself as a citizen with the awesome responsibility and great privilege of leading this amazing nation.

One gets the impression that it is Obama who sees himself as the leader that America would be privileged to have.

“The full quote, according to Politico.com, Time and the Washington post was:

“It has become increasingly clear in my travel, the campaign, that the crowds, the enthusiasm, 200,000 people in Berlin, is not about me at all. It’s about America. I have just become a symbol...””

TROLL Alert!

July 30, 2008....Obama Mole

He’s not a symbol, he’s a token (as in a game piece token) and you can bet it’s not the best of American that is moving him around the board.

I have become a doodle-bug.

Obama reminds me of the Sean Connery character in “The Man Who Would Be Kind.” At the start of their well-planned scam to make a fortune, Connery’s character is in cahoots and maybe even subservient to Michael Caine’s character. But as Connery luckily survives an arrow in his chest, he starts to believe that maybe he is something special (the spirit of Alexander the Great) and demands that Caine show subservience to him. Apparently all the hoopla and fawning has gotten to Obama, and really does believe he’s God’s gift to mankind.

I think the people here have hit on something.

Obama is creating a role for himself he has read in one or more books - a composite of what he feels will sway the American psyche.

My goodness he must think we are all so stupid to be led to the thought/morality guillotine and ultimately the overthrow of our nation by such a perverted narcissist as Obama appears to be.
