The insane emperor Caligula made his horse, Incitatus, a Roman consul. In 2008, the people of the United States elected Barack Obama and Joseph Biden. The Romans got the better of the two arrangements, because Caligula appointed the ENTIRE horse. Within 72 hours of his election, Barack Obama has already turned the nation's highest office and the leadership of the Free World into a carnival sideshow.
Obama began his career as President-Elect by mocking former First Lady Nancy Reagan, whom he said held seances in the White House. It is an unspoken custom of the Presidency that one does not belittle a predecessor, much less his wife, but Obama lost no time in making jokes at the expense of an 87 year-old lady who tended her husband through the ravages of Alzheimer's Disease...
He also created a Web site, Change.gov, which bears the title, "Office of the President Elect." The site uses the Great Seal of the United States minus the cluster of stars above the eagle's head. (It might, in fact, be illegal for him to use the entire Great Seal because he is not yet President). He has set up this government-hosted Web site as if it was his personal campaign site, complete with a litany of attacks on President Bush: the man who congratulated him on his election, and who has at least an informal duty to assist him during the transition period.
We hoped that Barack Obama would prove us wrong in our expectations... He has instead used the first three days of his new status as President-Elect to demonstrate the maturity of an adolescent with a tinfoil crown on his head, a narcissistic megalomaniac with delusions of Messiah-hood.

Remember the ads that McCain put out comparing O to Paris Hilton and mocking him as “The One?” They really got under his skin.
I for one plan on taking every opportunity to laugh at him. Liberals HATE being laughed at.
He is acting Bidenesk.
“Somewhat like the German Gestapo and/or Brownshirts (SS, SA).”
Stazi is the more recent version and likely the model. Have a friend from Dresden who lived through the whole thing. When the wall fell, it was like she was left out of prison. Toured West Germany in her Traubant, visited England & the US twice. She must have made out like a bandit on her East German Marks. Said the worst thing of “Socializm” was the personal spying. Citizens, neighbors, children (parents) turned each other in to get points with the system. You needed to zap your enemies before they got you.
