Barack Obama has long been his party's presumptive nominee. Now he's becoming its presumptuous nominee...

Then, he went up to Capitol Hill to be adored by House Democrats in a presidential-style pep rally.

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." ...

He has also said “Our time has come.” He is talking to blacks in all cases.

Obama is going to have all, but the most rabid left-wingers and blacks crawling, over broken glass to vote against him by election day if he doesn’t stop with the arrogance.

I knew that the man was full of himself, but he is giving narciscism a whole new name.

From the Patriot Post: “Audacity of hope: ‘If [Obama] picks Hillary he gets her 18 million supporters and we would win in a cakewalk and control the White House for 16 years.’ —former DNC chief and permanent Clintonista Terry McAuliffe

He’d also be buying a life insurance policy. Who would assassinate him if Hilary were Veep?

Too bad there’s not a collection of sound wavs of his most offensive and errogant comments.

Indeed, it's giving narcissism a bad name and requiring a new word to describe narcissism raised to the 100th power.

The astounding thing is Obama's doing for McCain just what Hitler did for Stalin. Before WWII the Soviet peoples legitimately regarded Stalin as a loathsome mass murdering monster. Once Hitler invaded Russia he proved he and the Nazis were worse, making Stalin a genuine popular hero. Disgusting as McCain is, Obama scares the s**t out of me and is driving me to crawl over the ground glass to vote against him.

I agree with the premise, but please tell me you are not equating McCain with Stalin and Obama with Hitler.
