"This election has never been about me - it's about you!" Shucks, and there were we thinking maybe it was about the guy stepping out through the Pearl & Dean Corinthian gate to stand in front of a mock-up of the West Wing.

For British viewers, this was a moment not of nostalgia, but of deja vu: the early Blair years revisited. Western pseudo-democracy is fuelled by politicians' speeches: the cynical manipulation of public emotion through the confection of ever more meaningless patterns of words. It is the few relatively factual passages that may now scupper Obama. But he will not mind because, as he said, this election is not about him.
That's like being punched in th eye in a dark room,i.e., not exactly sure what it was, but you know it hurt. I do like a good turn of phrase.
The last paragraph sums it up nicely. Worth a read.
20-20 vision from across the pond.
When someone says it’s not about them...
It’s all about them.
ROTFLMAO
Absolutely priceless!!!!
