Rahm Emmanuel putting away childish things yesterday:

Obama’s hubris -- the belief that he can do no wrong, that he can miraculously lead America to “harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories” -- will lead him to shift blame for his inevitable failures onto the shoulders of the American people.

My son works in nuclear energy & he said "good luck with the alternative sources"!

He also said, dig out the candles, because no windmill or any other type of alternative source can put out what a nuclear plant does.

But, we all remember O saying that we need to give up our luxuries, like A/C in the summer & turn down those thermostats in the winter!

Two “Great Malaise” speeches in as many weeks, he really does love Carter.

It’s hard to see it now, but in two years or so, things will be very different for the Messiah.

Not only will his policies and initiatives make things worse, but a series of bad decisions and screw-ups will open him up and show him for what he really is - an arrogant, amateurish, socialist racist who is in way over his head.

I didn't listen to a word of it, because I can't stand to hear the man speak. I've seen some of it while watching the news, muted, and he looked angry, and like he was haranguing folks. I saw Bret Baier on FoxNews later, and he confirmed what I thought, that it was a angry, chiding speech, not at all uplifting. So much for the gifted rhetorician.

It stands in stark contrast to George W. Bush's first inaugural, with the confidence that our country has a special place in the world, and that there are, paraphrasing Thomas Jefferson, 'angels in the whirlwind still directing this storm'.

Obama’s faith in himself -- and by extension, faith in the government he leads -- is unshakeable.

Brit Hume commented that he exuded more 'self-confidence' than any incoming President he'd ever seen, and he's seen all of them, since Dwight Eisenhower.

Frankly that doesn't give me any confidence, because he thinks so highly of himself, and his ideas, he'll never listen to what others have to say, if it disagrees with what he already thinks. After all, he was elected, even though he's supremely unqualified, so I'm sure he thinks he can do anything.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

"merely “calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.”

The uncertainty and confusion is in Obama's mind. Because he does not identify
with America's Christian culture he cannot see a national purpose the way Reagan did.

Government is not the answer
