Obama's Symbolic Importance [this is the moment ... that the world is waiting for]
washingtonpost ^ | 7/30/08

In his closed door meeting with House Democrats Tuesday night, presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama delivered a real zinger, according to a witness, suggesting that he was beginning to believe his own hype.

Obama was waxing lyrical about last week's trip to Europe, when he concluded, according to the meeting attendee, "this is the moment, as Nancy [Pelosi] noted, that the world is waiting for."

This is the moment . . . for change. We won’t hear much of “change” anymore. The “moment” has replaced it.

Sounds to me like he implying that people should vote for him simply because he is black. Otherwise, why would this “be the moment that the world is waiting for”?

Well Iran's Imadinnahjacket is waiting for the moment the Mahdi pops out of the Well.

Maybe we can arrange something for both of them.

There are some scary Obama people posting on the WaPo blog. Example:

I hate you Republicans!!!!!!!!!! Obama is more of a savior than your Jesus. You are so afraid because you know that once President Obama is sworn in you guys are through!!!! Good-bye Republican Party forever! You will never be heard from again!! Posted by: Michael | July 30, 2008 2:33 PM

Proof there will be religious/political persecution if the communists have their way!

I’m not sure how much longer a career based on self-hype can achieve results.

I cannot think of any better reason to disqualify Obama from the Presidency than “it is what the world wants”.

"You see, the challenges we face will not be solved with one meeting in one night. Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time.

We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. We are the hope of those boys who have little; who've been told that they cannot have what they dream; that they cannot be what they imagine.

Yes they can.

We are the hope of the father who goes to work before dawn and lies awake with doubts that tell him he cannot give his children the same opportunities that someone gave him.

Yes he can.

We are the hope of the woman who hears that her city will not be rebuilt; that she cannot reclaim the life that was swept away in a terrible storm.

Yes she can.

We are the hope of the future; the answer to the cynics who tell us our house must stand divided; that we cannot come together; that we cannot remake this world as it should be.

Because we know what we have seen and what we believe - that what began as a whisper has now swelled to a chorus that cannot be ignored; that will not be deterred; that will ring out across this land as a hymn that will heal this nation, repair this world, and make this time different than all the rest - Yes. We. Can."

His speeches are full of Messianic verbage. I fully expect that next he'll say, "I am the way, I am the light..." Maybe he'll wait until after the election to do that.

"Obama was waxing lyrical about last week's trip to Europe, when he concluded, according to the meeting attendee, "this is the moment, as Nancy [Pelosi] noted, that the world is waiting for."

"What an almighty fuss, if you’ll forgive the pun, about a junior Senator who’s still only a contender for the White House. You’d think he had already got his bottom on the President’s seat in the Oval Office."

"People of Berlin, people of the world,'' Obama said in remarks at the Victory Column in Berlin's Tiergarten, "this is our moment, this is our time.''

For President Barack Obama and his world wide Obamacon cult, the Upcoming Election is "Just a Mere Formality!".

So just stop this stupid and outdated technicality of an Election. Osama/bama is now our FUERHER UBER BAMA, er president of America and the entire world.

The graphic below shows, the only difference between o-B-ama and o-S-ama is just a bit of B.S.

He’s delusional, doesn’t realize he’s just a candidate, crazy, lives in a fantasy world. Worrisome.

It’s in his already drafted Inaugural Address ;)
