Translation:
Drunk With Power

Personally, I don't believe that he's "drunk with power," nor that he is "intoxicated by victory."

I am far more cynical of this OPRAH administration.

I seriously believe that you can't really understand BHO and his henchmen unless you have some understanding of the Pop Psychology that forms the basis of Oprah's belief in anything bigger than herself.

That pop psychology is exemplified in the recent bestseller, THE SECRET and one of the main tenets is that if you believe something hard enough that it will materialize into reality.

Inotherwords, magical thinking for the masses.

Another main tenet of the positive thought movement is to ACT as though you already have something, and if you ACT like you are powerful & victorious & hugely popular, THEN you will become so, in reality.

The magical thinking part of the positive thought theology explains alot of otherwise inexplicable behavior of the BHO administration.

Anyway, HE knows he's play acting and he's desparate for it to WORK.

I'm not... fully decided yet whether this Oprah Religion is... funny... or actually seriously dangerous... it's a very large pendulum swing between the two.

I occasionally wish that Governor Palin would crack some jokes about it, along the lines of "those styrofoam pillars" didn't impart power & legitimacy, and neither will his current FACADE.
