Messiah complex is a state in which the individual believes themselves to be, or destined to become, the saviour of the particular field, a group, an event, a time period, or in an extreme scenario, the world.

Yea, like Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers, Louis Farakahn, Frank Davis, not saluting the flag, not visiting wounded US troops, and the list goes on and on.

"Best Traditions" indeed. NUTS!

"I have seen the future, and it is me." -- Barack Obama

Of course, I'm making that up . . . but it's not much of a stretch, is it?

The dichotomy of visions is on display.

On one side, you have those who see the human as inherently flawed and imperfectable, and therefore in need of restraint, limiting power to the individual is a good thing, because humans inherently cannot be trusted with unlimited power over others.

On the other side, you have the vision that humans are perfectable. It logically follows that some are more perfect than others, and therefore have greater wisdom and decision making ability (Obama’s flaunted “judgement”).

These individuals not only have the right, but the OBLIGATION to make decisions for others, as they “know better” than anyone else - anyone else living, dead, and even better than God Himself.

This viewpoint of “obligation” is what we’re seeing in Obama - he’s an enlightened elite, and he is telling us that he’ll do his duty to lead the rest of us.

I hope he continues to mouth crap like this. It will only serve to open the eyes of people who haven’t decided yet on just what a pompous, arrogant know-nothing jerk he really is.

Obama notes ‘tragic’ US past
American history’s __”sad” aspects require action__, the senator tells cheering journalists
http://starbulletin.com/2008/07/28/news/story05.html

“I consistently believe that when it comes to whether it’s Native Americans or African-American issues or __reparations__, the most important thing for the U.S. government to do is not just offer words, but offer deeds.”

“..When Obama walked on stage at the McCormick Center, many journalists in the audience leapt to their feet and applauded enthusiastically __after being told not to do so.__ ..”

The problem with this headline is that the O man does not know what those “best traditions are”.
From psst statements made by him, traditions like personal liberty and responsibility, privately owned property, honesty, integrity and a hard days work are concepts that are foreign to him.

We are so screwed.

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...”

Obama hasn’t run a campaign of RETURNING to America’s past, he has urged a new direction of CHANGE saying that the way we have lived before can’t continue. The world looks down their collective noses at our air conditioners, our cars, our banquets.

We will have to do without not because of scarcity of resource, “just because”.

If this guy gets any more full of himself he’ll explode.
I guess the ‘empty suit’ can officially be referred to as ‘full of sh**’ now.

Funny, the first time I read that statement, I knew it was Obama. Nobody is that arrogant in politics except for him.

"I have become a symbol..."

this statement scares the liveing daylights out of me for some reason. i don't care who said it. anyone running for president should never utter this phrase. it can be used to justify too many actions.

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

Now we call the 1930's the Great Depression.

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.

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.
