Ego and Mouth
Real Clear Politics ^ | November 2, 2008 | Thomas Sowell

Posted on 11/03/2008 12:06:55 PM PST by Stayfree

...is there going to be an even bigger gamble, by putting the fate of a nation in the hands of a man whose only qualifications are ego and mouth? Obama has the kind of cocksure confidence that can only be achieved by not achieving anything else. The signs of Barack Obama's self-centered immaturity are painfully obvious...

TOPICS: Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: emptysuit; inexperience; obama
Thomas Sowell has correctly evaluated Obama as an empty suit bellowing out endless mountains of hollow rhetoric, meaningless platitudes and irrational promises in an oratorical replay of "The Emperor's New Clothes". Sowell is a must read clearly exposing Obama's unfitness for the Presidency of the United States.

Obama has confidence because he has never done anything that he could have failed at.

I think America has reached the tipping point...the point where a majority of our citizens understand their country and what it represents. In `1972 George McGovern, a man with a long senate record, a WWII vet, and a man who actually loved his country despite his leftist agenda was soundly defeated by Richard Nixon. And that was near the end of an unpopular war which generated far more unrest than the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The bulk of the American people could clearly see that McGovern was too far left.

Now we have a candidate, Obama, who is the most unqualified, most scandal-ridden, most egotistical, furthest left candidate in American history, and he is about to enter the White House. Clearly, Americans are not as smart as they used to be.

Obama uses terrorist and riotist self annointments and self declarations.

The man is racist and believes we are this and he is all that all by “virtue” of some image. Many cases of fixed boxing matches have the winner actualy believing in his strength.

Bagdad Bob and Saddam’s assertion that he were the only dog in Iraq are similar.It’s typical mideast hubris and calls for bleeding.

That being said, anyone seen his “pride pictures” on year books and what not? He always has his mouth open. When assessing guys in schools, the ones looking retarded with their mouth always open invariably were the retarded ones. They all had this air of “respiration” about themselves. Between his pictures and his policies, Obama seems to fit the bill.

As my father likes to tell me; “The only person who does not make mistakes is someone who has done or is doing nothing”.

Most of them are not, but I have to tell you about my son who is 22 years old, solid Christian and getting married to another solid Christian next month. They both love our country dearly, are staunchly conservative and have voted for McCain and Palin. He told me the other day when I was foaming at the mouth at the thought of a Hussein in the White House and with Nazi Pelosi and Dung-Heap Reid using the power of 60 Democrat senators to overcome any GOP filibusters to drive this sacred country of ours down the road of socialism to ruin...he said to me, "Dad,in 2 years, these idiots will have done so much to screw up everything, that the populace will rise up and take over every seat up for election...and after 2 more years, it will be even stronger. I know he has a positive attitude and is young and determined to do the right thing and the sense to see that all is not lost forever, even after I pointed out to him all of the long-term programs, disincentives, Supreme Court appointments, etc.

But I still say, stockpile more ammo just in case!
