Obama the Self-Proclaimed Messiah

Wed, Jun 4, 2008 at 8:41:41 am PDT

Last night Barack Obama broke all records for campaign promises, with one of the most over the top self-aggrandizing statements ever uttered by a presidential candidate.

I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.

He’s going to heal the sick and make the oceans part.

Ooohhkay.

Obama wants to prevent Iranian nukes by offering "meaningful incentives"

"... But as president of the United States, I would be willing to lead tough and principled diplomacy with the appropriate Iranian leader at a time and place of my choosing – if, and only if – it can advance the interests of the United States," he told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s annual policy conference.

Obama said diplomacy is not synonymous with weakness. He suggested that Iran will be given a choice — abandon its "dangerous nuclear program, support for terror and threats to Israel," in exchange for "meaningful incentives – including the lifting of sanctions, and political and economic integration with the international community." ...

We're screwed if this douchebag becomes the next President - I still believe he will be.

I'm sure the Daisy Cutters will start raining down in Kandahar within minutes of Barack taking office. Let's face it: He's going to take the war to the terrorists, including the ones vigorously supporting his candidacy right here in the good ole US of A.

Obama's new campaign song,
with apologies to Pete Townshend

I overwhelm as I approach you
Make your lungs hold breath inside!
Lovers break caresses for me
Love enhanced when I've gone by.

You'll feel me coming,
A new vibration
From afar you'll see me
I'm a sensation, I'm a sensation.

They worship me and all I touch
Hazy eyed they catch my glance,
Pleasant shudders shake their senses
My warm momentum throws their stance.

You'll feel me coming
A new vibration
From afar you'll see me
I'm a sensation, I'm a sensation.

Soon you'll see me, can't you feel me
I'm coming ...
Send your troubles dancing I know the answer
I'm coming ... I'm coming ...
I'm a sensation.

I leave a trail of rooted people
Mesmerised by just the sight,
The few I touch are now disciples
Love as One I Am the Light

Man. I'm watching John McCain here, and agreeing with everything he's saying.

But he appears to be standing before a chalkboard. He's backed by about five gals. The crowds sounds about a hundred strong, by applause. And McCain sounds a bit pooped.

Versus:

Standing in a stadium. Backed by rabidly (and unthinkingly) screaming fans. The crowd made of thousands and thousands and thousands. And big swooping oratory flourishes.

It's gonna be a long, hard campaign. No one ever lost an election by underestimating the American electorate's attention span.
