OBAMA THE MESSIAH - THE BEST SATIRE EVER

This man has got to be stopped. He is extremely presumptuous and frankly just a little too creepy for me. I am a lifelong democrat but there is no way I can vote for a do nothing, know nothing like Obama. His message of change is insult to the people of this country. He is just fooling us. He understands one thing- contrived image management. He understands people will remember pictures and not what he talked about with foreign leaders (which was nothing).
his entire campaign is about one thing- OBAMA.
i WANT to vote for a black man. But not an unqualified lying pandering hypocritical one. he will say and do anything to win.
a charge he leveled against senator clinton. gimme a break!

Saw this video on Hannity & Colmes the other night. Glad you found it and posted it here. Great piece of work on a sorry piece of _______. (You fill in the blank.) Thanks. Love your site.

Love your site, sorry only have dial up so as usual unable to view video. Sure wish their could be text for people like myself. Keep up the good work.

In the nation that cares more about American Idol-Dancing With the Stars- Now it’s the “One” show nonstop for low information lazy voters.

Will enough people wake up in time?

For ILBLue - Here is the text of the Gerard Baker satire.

It’s much, much funnier without pics!

This should be the opening video shown at Invesco Field … O’s disciples would still cheer, cry and faint over the One. Julie, your site is getting a lot of attention … thank you!

He wants to “hustle” and “jive talk” his way to the presidency. But pulling an “all-nighter” isn’t going to give him the foreign affairs credentials that someone like John McCAin has after years of hard work, sweat and tears!

I was never an Obama supporter, but just wanted to share an e-mail I got from the head of my SparkPeople “liberal” site:

Hi, B

We’ve had some complaints about your posts on the Proud Blue Liberals sparkteam. It’s obvious that you’re not a political “liberal” and that your posts on that team are pretty much in opposition to everyone else’s viewpoint. While it’s fine to disagree about politics and to express your opinion on the message boards (as long as you observe the community guidelines), it’s also important to pick the right places to do that. Joining a team specifically set up for people with a perspective that is opposite to your own, for the purpose of advocating your own point of view, is not appropriate.

There are many teams set up specifically to debate political issues and/or candidates, as well as teams for Republicans, conservatives, or other groups who are more likely to share your views. Please stop posting anti-Obama messages or other contrary viewpoints on the Proud Blue Liberals team, and find other places where your posts will be less disruptive.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Coach Dean

My Reply:

This is really a pathetic post from the head of a site that has the PRETENSE of being a liberal site. Being liberal does not mean to blindly follow whomever Howard Dean, Donna B. and Nancy P. and Harry Reid have SELECTED. I was not of the opinion that this site was to be a pro-Obama site, and there should not have any consideration given to any of the other candidates. Actually, I am a Ralph Nader supporter. He is the true liberal. He, unlike the so-called liberal Obama, has not come out in support of FISA, the continuation of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and never threatened that as President, he might have reason to invade Pakistan and Iran. He chose the neo-conservative Lieberman to be his “assigned” mentor in the U.S. Senate and actively campaigned for him and asked other Democrats to do so also. Obama posted a long article on the liberal blog Daily Kos criticizing attacks against lawmakers who voted for right-wing Supreme Court nominee John Roberts after having been shamed by his constituents and members of the Black Caucus into changing is vote, and voting against his confirmation. Unlike Hillary Clinton, he opposed an amendment to the Bankruptcy Act that would have capped credit card interest rates at 30 percent. According to Paul Street (Znet and BlackAgendaReport) Obama told Time magazine’s Joe Klein last year that he’d never given any thought to Al Gore’s widely discussed proposal to link a “carbon tax” on fossil fuels to targeted tax relief for the nation’s millions of working poor (Joe Klein, “The Fresh Face,” Time, October 17, 2006). Obama voted for a business-friendly “tort reform” bill that rolls back working peoples’ ability to obtain reasonable redress and compensation from misbehaving corporations. Obama voted to re-authorize the repressive PATRIOT Act. He voted for the appointment of Condoleeza Rice to (of all things) Secretary of State. He opposed Senator Russ Feingold’s (D-WI) move to censure the Bush administration after the president was found to have illegally wiretapped U.S. citizens. He shamefully distanced himself from fellow Illinois Democratic Senator Dick Durbin’s forthright criticism of U.S. torture practices at Guantanamo. He consistently refuses to forswear the use of first-strike nuclear weapons against Iran.

You could perhaps have the name of the site changed to THE PROUD BLUE SUPPORT OBAMA ONLY site.

complete with Latin motto. He has laid claim to personal control over the world’s oceans and seas. He has repeatedly attempted to dictate how and on what level he, his ideas, and his activities may be discussed. He has encouraged a portrayal of himself as a messianic figure, including a portrait of himself as Christ, complete with halo. He is even now completing a triumphant grand tour of the old world, during which he attempted to shanghai an ancient monument for personal use without consulting the host government.

The operative term here is “hubris.” A word of Attic Greek origin, hubris was a major concept animating classical Greek thought. Hubris is overweening pride, an arrogance so profound and so visible as to affront the gods themselves. Hubris was a quality often identified with Greek tragic heroes. The hero allowed simple human pride in his accomplishments and station to burgeon to offensive proportions, at which point the wheels of fate began rolling. The ending was never good — the valiant Ajax stabs himself to death at a lonely spot, the kingly Oedipus is transformed into a howling, self-blinded wreck.

Barack Obama embodies hubris in chemically pure form. Not that he’s a tragic hero, or a hero of any sort, to anyone apart from his deluded legions of college freshmen. Beyond cleaning Hillary’s clock, he has no accomplishments to speak of, and as for his station… A glance at Trent Lott, Robert Byrd, and Ted Kennedy clearly reveals that “U.S. senator” is not a position of particular pride.

But even if he hasn’t founded cities, destroyed monsters, or led men into battle, Obama does share one quality with the heroes of the ancient world: an absolute conviction that he is superior to the ordinary run of humanity. Like them, Obama believes himself a man of destiny, and like them, Obama will go over the edge.

The only question is whether he gets to take the country with him.

He’s nearly blown himself up several times previously. In the case of Jeremiah Wright, he felt himself so far above the controversy that he failed to so much as acknowledge it until it had already boiled over, leaving him no choice but to repudiate his longtime mentor. More recently he went so far as to accuse one of the oldest and most liberal publications in the country of impiety. There is no other word for it — the entire case against The New Yorker was based on the premise that Barack Obama, of all living individuals, is beyond the reach of satire due to the sacredness of his person, a claim never, to my knowledge, made in a previous American election.

Over the past week, he has thrust himself into negotiations with a crucial American client, a client even now involved in the final stages of a lengthy and debilitating war, for the sole purpose of bolstering his campaign. Again, it’s impossible to think of a previous candidate who ever behaved in this fashion.

All these incidents — and plenty of others that could be mentioned — mark the steps taken toward catastrophe. Obama is edging closer and closer to his climactic moment.

The American public appears to grasp this. Despite his robotic legion of followers, despite the hysterical adulation of the media, despite John McCain being cut off from customary media outlets, doubts about Obama appear to be dominant. The Real Clear Politics average of polls shows him holding only a 5 point lead over McCain after a week of spectacular, loving media coverage abroad. If we factor in the hypothesized Bradley-Wilder effect — that 5 to 10% of those polled are prevaricating in favor of Obama to avoid implications of racism — means that Obama is in fact running even or behind.

His organization has to be aware of this. So, in some sense, must Obama himself. But blindness is also a characteristic of the classical tragic figure. The campaign should be moving slowly and carefully, identifying its weaknesses and seeking ways to address them, concentrating on increasing that (perhaps illusory) single-digit lead. Instead, Obama continues his charade, awarding himself foreign triumphs, posing as a figure of world-historical stature, as if the election, perhaps even the inauguration, were merely a ritual. In his own mind, Obama is already president, behaving as he believes a president should, while the voters look on in bewilderment and growing disquiet and disgust.

This country has had its share of arrogance and pride in the White House. A man must believe himself a special breed to aim that high in the first place. The Roosevelts, Woodrow Wilson, and Jimmy Carter come immediately to mind. But none of them — partially excepting Wilson — ever gave in to hubris. Teddy Roosevelt waited until he was out of office to go off, wrecking the 1912 election in the process. FDR, throughout his Augustan three-plus terms as president, never quite crossed the line. (This is in keeping with the rest of his record — it is in his negative attributes (that he was not a tyrant, that he did not take personal advantage, that he was not vindictive) — that FDR shines most brightly.) Carter collapsed in the face of the challenges awaiting him, becoming the most abject of modern presidents.

Only Wilson who let his vanity and arrogance run away with him, overcome with the messianic conviction that it was he, and only he, who could lead the world into a new age by means of his League of Nations. Instead he simply assured the outbreak of a war whose viciousness and destruction put all others in the shade. And didn’t Wilson end up much like a figure of classic tragedy himself? A ghostly, bearded invalid haunting the corridors of the White House, never seen in public, dependent on his wife to assure that his wishes were carried out?

Wilson can stand as a warning, if not to Obama, then to the rest of us. Obama is too proud and too blind. He will continue in his solipsistic dance until the machinery of fate intervenes.

What form it will take is impossible to say. These situations build up grain by grain until a critical mass is at last reached. Obama is piling up those grains daily, with each display of aloofness, refusal to obey established protocol, and assumption of powers that do not yet belong to him. The final straw could be the most trivial of incidents, blown up all out of proportion to its importance simply due to its being the end of a series (recall one recent political powerhouse whose destruction was encompassed by a complaint over his seat on an airplane - an airplane he shouldn’t have been aboard in the first place).

What we can be sure of is that Obama will not avoid the final reckoning. The last, and strangest, characteristic of the victim of hubris is that he appears to welcome his fate, almost embracing it, cooperating in his own downfall. So it will be with Barack Obama. But he must not be allowed to take the country with him.

It is a scary world to know that there are so many racists.
Why can’t you see that McCain thinks he can change the world by force and will stop at nothing for his convictions. He has repeatedly stated that we do not have the troops to do the job in the Middle East and will want to reinstate the draft in order to place permanent military basis all over the Middle East. Can we agree that when a country has economic stability they are peaceful? China is a prime example. We do not have to invade or force our ideas on others, we simply need to continue negotiations and have open trade which will bring about transformation on it’s own. We do however need to track down those few, like Osama Bin Laden, with assistance especially from the Middle East people. Senator McCain has no ideas for the economy. Every instance that Obama brought out an idea for change, such as clean energy investment, giving tax breaks to companies that keep our jobs at home,cutting off the budgets which are wasted spending. McCain is all about oil
and war with the economy being last on his list. I have voted Republican most of my life, but in todays world their strategy does not work any longer.

False Messiah…
