obama believes himself to be the second coming….

Could he BE any more arrogant? Do you think Obama makes kissy faces in the mirror in the morning?

Check out his latest statement:

Obama’s Symbolic Importance
By Jonathan Weisman
Perhaps he’s beginning to believe the hype.

In his closed door meeting with House Democrats this evening, presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama delivered a real zinger. According to a witness, he was waxing lyrical about last week’s trip to Europe, when he concluded, “this is the moment, as Nancy [Pelosi] noted, that the world is waiting for.”

The 200,000 souls who thronged to his speech in Berlin came not just for him, he told the enthralled audience of congressional representatives*.

“I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions,” he said.

Seriously?

This guy, who openly admits to illegal drug use, has Reverend Meeks, Reverend Wright, and Father Phleger as his spiritual leaders, hangs out with terrorist William Ayers, is best bussies and does illegal business with slumlord Tony Rezko, has an American-hating wife who complains constantly about America, makes sexist attacks on the Former First lady, pays his female staff members less than their male counterarts, calls women *sweetie* and offers up kisses for votes, tells reporters that the *vibrating* in his pocket is *just his cell phone*, makes up fake Presidential seals, and play acts that he is already President, removes the American flag from his lapel pin, his airplane, and (which I now believe) doesn’t place his hand over his heart for the National Anthem, cancels trips to visit wounded Iraq vets, because he can’t bring a camera, flip flops on major party policies, lies to the American people, and HE is the symbol of America returning to the best of our traditions????

What the hell does he think we are like NOW? He does NOT like America, does he.

He is our only hope of returning us to our best traditions? Lord help us all…

*Yes, they came not just for Obama, but the advertised Free Concert by two of Berlin’s hottest bands, free beer and food helped drawa in those 200,000 adoring fans who swarmed to see Obama. Similar to the free concert in Portland.

WOW!

Comment by NoBamaNoWay | 2008-07-31 02:52:07

Obama: “That’s not the Ludacris i knew!” heh. a picture of this guy is developing every day, and it’s not pretty. you’re judged by the company you keep, and obama has been hanging around with a few too many america haters, woman haters, jew haters, white haters and other criminals and thugs for anybody to believe that he didn’t approve of their behavior.

Comment by Dawnelle | 2008-07-31 09:31:20

Yep! Ragazza in Italia, that’s the ONE.

I’ve discovered (unfortunately) that this is NOT a nightmare we are each sharing cognitively. (sarcastic snicker)

More like a HARD EXERCISE in REALITY that we are all finally WAKING UP TO? Perhaps.

Fight, Fight, Fight for what is RIGHT

In case you wondered what the hell a “Community Oganizer” does - even a failed one like Oblowme:

Well Obama called her that too. His theme song was rap thingy about how he didn’t have to be afraid of a bitch. No one ever called him out on it.

 

Comment by DAB | 2008-07-31 11:48:47

Joy Behar read the lyrics to this ditty on air (in rap style) and they all thought it was a hoot. Giggly poo… Anyways they conveniently “forgot” to mention the part about “we’ll turn the White House black”.
Guess she didn’t think that part was important, or was she protecting The One from any blowback by making light of the whole thing?

I really didn’t see anything funny about calling anyone a bitch or wishing to see someone “paralyzed”. Can’t decide if Behar sounded more like Beavis or Butthead. And to think that I once kind of liked her.

Comment by AX10 | 2008-07-31 12:37:19

Someday “The View” will be cancelled and we can all celebrate!

 

Comment by xax | 2008-07-31 12:50:55

I know. Behar is a comedienne, I get that. But if that had been some country music star talking bad about Democrats, she would have been up in arms. I used to hate Hasselbeck, but now she’s one of the few who actually makes sense.
Now… if they would only let her talk.

If this the new democratic party idea of a symbol of America I am glad I changed to independent after 48 years.
This country has been so betrayed by the new democratic party that unspeakable.

COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS

PUMAS AND BUBBAS RULE

Comment by BernieO | 2008-07-31 06:33:22

This is a very interesting article about Obama’s time teaching law at the University of Chicago. He was a cipher even then. He has sold himself as post-racial but his classes were all about race. (Colin Powell is a much more balanced in his concerns.)

That party leaders did not feel the need to wait and see who this guy turns out to be is mind-boggling. I thought the honchos in the Republican party were insane to promote Bush since it was all about appearances. After seeing how well that has worked out, the Democratic party responds by DOING THE SAME THING. Bizarre.

Comment by beebop | 2008-07-31 06:46:06

My hat is off to you if you read the whole thing. It is just more salvating for Obama. I am so OVER him that I can’t WAIT to cast a NO NO A THOUSAND TIMES NO vote for him. Thank GOD we are a republic and there is another name on the ballot. If the earthy cracks open and for some inexplicable reason he wins, I will put myself in cryonics after a prolonged prayer chant and pray that after four years something resembling America will be left.

Comment by fif | 2008-07-31 07:59:02

Love your righteous anger beebop! I second and third that. I am SO LOOKING FORWARD TO VOTING AGAINST HIM!

Comment by lor818 | 2008-07-31 09:32:40

I third that! I can’t wait to vote for John McCain. I will take him over nobama any day. He may be a Republican, but he does care about our country! He will keep our country safe.

By all means if there truly is all that oil under the USA, and we can become DEPENDANT from foreign oil, the Middle East and terrorist then why the heck not?? Why not create jobs and spread the wealth to the American people and screw the Middle East! Why not try nuclear power? Other countries are doing well with it! I would rather see the USA drilling off the coast of Florida or Cuba than China or some other country that doesn’t give a damn about the environment …….at least with the USA doing it will be done right with all of the environmental regulations and most importantly the American people demanding it be done in the most echo friendly way possible. And don’t even tell me it is going to take 10,20 or even 30 years to see the results……I think the oil companies are just a little bit smarter than that. They are just waiting for the go ahead. Come on you know they are ready.

I am by no means for the war, but unfortunately we are there and we must be careful leaving, we cannot afford to go back again. Obama is just going to move the Soldiers from one theater to another, and he won’t count out sending them back to Iraq if his asinine plan does not work (that’s a smooth move there Ex-lax!) The surge is working. That is one statement I never thought I would make….

Hillary and Bill have been way to quiet! I hope and pray they are going to do something in the preverbal 12th hour! Come on Hillary, you have enough evidence to take him down hard!!!! You don’t owe the DNC a damn thing, they betrayed you, belittled you, embarrassed you WTF!!!

Oh and nobama quit with the freaking racist thing! YOU are the ONLY one that keeps brining it up. Your half black okay we can all see that, so shut the F*&* up about it already! The reason we are not voting for you has NOTHING to do with the color of your skin!!! I repeat NOTHING to do with the color of your skin!!! It is your lack of judgment, lack of experience, self-centeredness, and the fact that you fixed the caucuses, you robbed people of there votes, you have no respect for women, people in general, and for sitting Presidents (even though we may feel the that way about him) and former Presidents. You say you are the agent of change, yet you are steal bits and pieces of policies, and ideologies from all of our former Presidents. you take money from lobbyists and terrorists. You deface our Presidential seal,you ignore our wounded Soldiers. Who are you really? Who is your puppet master? Why should we let a person like you take away the very freedoms our forefathers, mothers, sisters and brothers died and fought so hard for? There is no way I will give you my vote and let you turn our great country in to a socialist regime!

Does anyone have a pin?????? I think his head is going to explode! It is getting so big, maybe we can pop it and relieve some of the pressure in there that is making you have dementia thinking you are the second coming of Christ!

These are the reasons barack obama that I will be voting against you the balloon headed empty suit. I hope and pray that all Americans will wake up from the Kool-aid induced coma and vote against this puppet.

That new song by Luda is just what some black men think about white woman, some will say the song is great he told Hillary off am sure, this is just the tip of the iceberg any one that feels putting Obama as President is a good thing for America they really have to be joking, there are too many just waiting in the wings to show their true colors if god forbids and that happens, we will never know what hit us.

Comment by fif | 2008-07-31 08:02:07

In the lyric he curses her for “hatin’ on Obama.”

When did Hillary “hate on Obama?” Because she dared to confront him about his lack of clarify, conviction, knowledge and experience? What a bunch of pansies. ANY criticism of this lightweight is off-bounds apparently. Good vetting system for the presidency.

If you want to talk about someone hatin’ on someone else, let’s talk about MO, or BO sneering at Hillary at every opportunity.

Comment by tek | 2008-07-31 08:37:40

Way to bring those Hillary Dems around, no? And these are the people the MSM thinks are soooo politically savvy?

It is sickening and revolting. What a betrayal.

 

Comment by Ted | 2008-07-31 00:42:51

From the same article:

“On Wednesday morning, House leadership aides pushed back against interpretations of this comment as self-aggrandizing, saying that when the presumptive Democratic nominee said, “I have become a symbol of the possibility of America,” he was actually trying to deflect attention from himself.

No tape of the event exists and no one is denying the quote.

But one leadership aide said the full quote put it into a different context. According to that aide, Obama said, “It has become increasingly clear in my travel, the campaign — that the crowds, the enthusiasm, 200,000 people in Berlin, is not about me at all. It’s about America. I have just become a symbol.”

Comment by AF catfish | 2008-07-31 00:51:40

Nixon: I am not a crook.

Obama: It’s not about me.

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-07-31 07:15:30

LOL…GWB is symbolic of how much trouble a COUNTRY can get into when POTUS has Oedipus Issues….Obama is symbolic of having a SERIOUS CONFLICT WITH IS INNER CRACKER & Oedipus Issues….

I’d Say BOTH ARE SYMBOLIC OF THE NEED TO INCREASE FEDERAL FUNDING FOR NIMH….MENTAL HEALTH….

It’s arrogant any way you spin it, sorry, can’t worm out of this one.

Comment by carol | 2008-07-31 01:45:40

what really cannot get more arrogant is american girl in italy - an entire website devoted to photos of her hubby and what she does every day???? not just arrogant, but BOOOOOORING. (I shouldn’t say that, i didn’t really read any of it, maybe she has some exciting adventures to write about - but still….)

Comment by JML | 2008-07-31 03:31:39

A personal attack on the author is sort of irrelevant to the topic; and anyway, lots of people use blogs as their personal diaries. What’s the big deal? A blog is not forced upon you … unlike, you know, how you sometimes get totally STUCK with a President, like it or not.

 

Comment by trails | 2008-07-31 04:37:11

LOL, she isn’t running for POTUS, so what’s your point?”

 

Comment by sarainitaly | 2008-07-31 05:14:47

that is extremely rude, but I guess I shouldn’t be suprised. I have learned that seems to be the MO with BO supporters.

i created that blog for my family and friends back in the states. i moved 6000 miles away from them, they like to know what i am doing.

you don’t have to read it. i didn’t create it for you.

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-07-31 06:32:44

Sarahinitaly….I have enjoyed your posts and comments….Can’t help it if some folks like Carol wish they cold trade Italy for the crapola GAZA village they live in. Carol has to share a computer with 9 other faithful at the indoctrination center…LOL

** Keep Up The Good Work **

BTW….How is Berlesconi’s Gypsy plan goin ? Things are gettin scary tribal if you ask me…..Just wonderin….Hmmm

Comment by sarainitaly | 2008-07-31 06:45:45

Thank you!

(ugh obama trolls make me SO mad!)

To tell you the truth I haven’t been paying that much attention to the news here. I am too obsessed with things there. I do know that something had to be done. It was getting out of hand. Maybe after my vaca in August I will blog about it, on my other site.

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-07-31 07:10:18

I will look forward to it….and I hope you have a good Vacation with the family….

Now, see, Carol, Ludacris could’ve written about what an irrelevant bitch you are, and he’d be on point.

Except that you are a liar, to boot. The original link takes us to American Girl’s website that has a lot of articles on it. If you then followed a link to a personal diary of hers, that’s an entirely different story. But you’re just a TYPICAL Obamatroll in drag, aren’t you?

Comment by DrMK | 2008-07-31 06:35:42

carol, your comment is irrelevant, why don’t you go hate someplace else.

 

Comment by S&T | 2008-07-31 07:55:30

Hey Zee, you are totally right. Obama may think he is the second coming. Hopefully he will be the first leaving . What an arrogant man he is. How much more of this shameful self adulation must we endure. I can not and will not vote for this pompus ass

?

So you’re saying that people who aren’t political bloggers can’t have opinions about politics?
This would come as a great shock to the millions of people who write “Letters to the Editor” every day.
Or maybe you’re just jealous because “American Girl In Italy’s” life is more interesting than yours.

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-07-31 07:17:24

True that….ENVY thy name is….CAROL THE INCOMPETENT TROLL…

Comment by imustprotest | 2008-07-31 09:52:26

Carol the troll is just scared because the arrogance of Obama is beginning to get traction in the media. She has to cover and divert for her master the narsisistic one. She’s actually co-dependent and doesn’t realize it.

He could have said, “People TELL me that I am the blah blah blah”

but if he said “I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions,”

HIS EGO NEEDS A BIG OLD DEFLATE

Comment by NoObamislamists | 2008-07-31 01:01:50

Poor Obamabots. Still circle jerking over their messiah. They Dailykooks types got their panties in a twirl, but the premise is still unchanged.

The “crowds”, the “enthusium” and the “20,000 coming for free beer and food and a rock concert” “200,000″ people in Berlin to come watch Obama Christ Superstar are hype, BS, all phoney and made up to make Obama look more popular than he is. It’s clear that he’s totally believing his own hype and BS.

 

Comment by carol | 2008-07-31 01:41:23

but american girl (what a sexist name)just doesn’t know how to write the truth here….she has not written one truthful statement - all larry johnson-like statements that the hillary lovers keep on sayin’ - broken record and all scratched to hell. quoting these lies does not exactly make a very creative or interesting diary ya know?

Comment by Hope Floats | 2008-07-31 04:05:47

but American Girl (what a sexist name)

That Ludacris ain’t got nothing on Tom Petty. Talk about demeaning women!

Comment by Zee | 2008-07-31 06:20:05

This just proves “carol” is an obamathug in drag. They LOVE to tell the little ladies how they’re doing everything wrong for themselves.

 
 

Comment by sarainitaly | 2008-07-31 05:20:27

once again, rude.

what statement is not truthful? i am interested to know which ones you claim to be false.

every one of my statements are true.

(and the name american girl in italy comes from a 1951 Ruth Orkin photograph, that my friends gave me as a gift when I moved.)

Comment by Zee | 2008-07-31 06:22:23

Obviously you’ve got the Obamathugs’ panties in a twist.

They’ve assigned you your own woman-bashing thug. Congrats!

Do you think Obama makes kissy faces in the mirror in the morning?

Sarainitaly,

As Supreme Fact Checker and Arbiter of Great Posting,

I found only the above slightly misleading statement in that you should have footnoted as follows:

Oblowme’s reflection does not appear in mirors.

Otherwise, completely factual and well-researched as always.

Comment by MEchelle Hates America! | 2008-07-31 08:38:10

Sorry - that should read Oblowme’s reflection does not appear in mirrors.

We invite you to leave this site and blog elsewhere, or are you worried you won’t get your check from Oblahma?

 
 

Comment by sarainitaly | 2008-07-31 05:46:26

WOW, I am shocked that an Obama aid would try to WORM his way out of it. I think I tend to believe the writer from WaPo.

he says that he is the one we have been waiting for, and that this is our moment. his wife has never been proud of her country until people voted for her husband.

but we are supposed to now believe that obama doesn’t think it is all about him? sure.

 

Comment by NObama in August | 2008-07-31 06:49:00

You mean to say Obama actually thought the 20,000 errrrr…..200,000 crowd was to see him/America and not for free food and a concert?

Comment by Dawnelle | 2008-07-31 09:43:07

yes R U Kiddin me???

I am 3/4 Kraut and I can tell you for FREE food and a concert and a chance to GAWK at some Yahoo from across the POND might even get ME out!

 
 

Comment by C.S. | 2008-07-31 07:01:57

Bush had a whole staff to clean up his messy words, even change his grammar. Perhaps that’s why Obama took his campaign staff around the world with him instead of his Senate staff - they’re better at cleanup. And, since he’s not a real president; just plays one on TV, he can’t bring his campaign staff into the Senate with him - yet.

 

Comment by fif | 2008-07-31 08:05:48

LOL! Yea, as if we haven’t seen Obama wallowing in his own glory for months now. His ENTIRE candidacy is a cult of personality based on his manufactured image over substance. Please. I remember one of the first debates, when they were all lined up on the stage and I was turned off by his arrogance even then. He radiates arrogance and preens like a peacock. No surprise that it came out that way.

Comment by NObama in August | 2008-07-31 11:46:00

Now he actually is acting like Paris or Britney, saying outrageous things and doing outrageous acts (wailing wall) so we will or the media will talk about him.

FUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKK! is all I got to say. I too have become an independent and have nothing but contempt for these jokers rallying behind this fraud. Don’t tell me his color doesn’t matter, it does. The minute some clown at my caucus said “we owe it to black people for BO to be president” I knew this whole election cycle would be lopsided and he would get away with a lot of shit. That is why everyone is treading lightly and throwing themselves toward MC Bama. Yes, it’s Hammer time…can’t touch this.

Great women, though and great drink. Nice woolens. No one wants to beat me up when I wear my kilt and play my pipes.

Just No BARBECUE there…

Comment by Fred C. Dobbs | 2008-07-31 18:00:46

Everyone speculates upon what they’d do/buy if they hit the Lotto.

Me? I’d move to Paris.

There’s no barbecue in Paris, or Amsterdam, or Munich or Stockholm or Edinburgh. (There is in Marseille, but Marseille don’t count).

Get a little space on the Rue St. Jacques and open a barbecue joint: “Uncle Fred’s Dixie Diner.”

Pulled pork, ribs, chicken, coupla sides. Spicy links, smoked brisket. Picnic tables for seating. Serve Shiner beer (ask a Texan). Maybe Lone Star. All in long necks.

(NO Coors, Bud, Heinekin, Corona or any of that other sissy stuff - and NO LIGHT BEER!)

Stars and Bars and the Lone Star flag. Red checked tablecloths on the picnic tables.

Fried catfish on Fridays…still lotsa observant Catholics in France.

TV over the bar with SEC football off the satellite. Find a yellow Jeep CJ, put mag wheels and Big and Stoopid Tahrs on it and paint the company name on the side.

Jimmy Buffet, Clint Black, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Texas Playboys, ZZTop and Asleep at The Wheel on the jukebox.

Three or four versions of “San Antonio Rose.”

Beats the shit outta haggis…

Complete works of Stevie Ray Vaughn…

How would I staff it?

Get Hotel Management majors from UNLV and Cornell to work there as an Internship.

Keep a 20 x 25 space in the back for an underground Used Book Store and office.

They got pigs and cows out the ying-yang in Holland. And the Ducth are just plumb crazy about making sausage.

Only killer is the air freight on the Shiner and Lone Star from Tejas…

(”You FLY the beer in?”)

My dreams are small….

He is a symbol, alright. He is a symbol for much of what is wrong in American society today. Others have used the term “megalomania” to describe BHO. How can anyone hear him describe himself as a “symbol” and not reach the same conclusion?

Comment by BettsAZ | 2008-07-31 02:02:55

He is a symbol: the “ugly American”.

Comment by DrMK | 2008-07-31 06:39:35

a good description for bo’s condition is megalomania and entitlement, no one “owes” him anything. he earns it all just like the rest of us. and he has earned no respect from me for his accomplishments or conduct. PERIOD.

“He is a symbol, alright. He is a symbol for much of what is wrong in American society today.”

Good point. He is a symbol of the dumbing down of America. People are so busy working to survive, and our educational system is so poor, that a candidate with minimal experience, poor judgment and weak character can get this far. He is a symbol of the superficiality of our society and it’s decay. Others have said this: he is a symptom. If we lived in a healthy, deeply thoughtful, politically engaged country, he would never have gotten past his candidacy announcement.

Gee…ya think ? History is after all only a record of Human Behavior….
The Romans invented the Job of dictator to pacify Julius in his quest to be King and try to preserve a crumbling republic….and look where that got them….Dictators, Despots, Emperors, War Lords, Totalitarians, and FASCIST SCHMUCKS ride into the vaccum created by BREAD AND CIRCUSES…..They devide and conquer…..and reduce the populations to basic breeding levels for the desirable….

Now do we believe MS. Savior when she says this is the first time in her adult life she is proud of her country? She knew he was the Messiah and was just waiting for us to realize it.

So Oblahmas comment today was in other words:

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)

Okaaay…first JFK, RFK, MLK, Malcom X (the Denzel Washington version)….and finally Jesus! Can’t top that one can he??

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-07-31 06:45:42

Now that would depend on which Jesus you are talkin about….
Are you talkin about The Traditional/Historical Jesus ?
Or…..Are you Talkin about THE REEEL JESUS WHO WAS A BLACK GHETTO FREEDOM FIGHTER….FIGHTING THOSE PESKY IMPERIALIST CAPTITALIST EUROCENTRIC ( LOL ) JEWS AND ROMANS…..hmmmm?

He not only makes kissey face in the morning he makes them all day long. Let’s take away the mirrors.

Comment by carol | 2008-07-31 01:36:04

Kissy face?????uhhhh, what century are you from? American Girl in Italy or wherever, maybe you would be wise to put the entire quote and context into your story??? Its a bit disengenuous for you all to be harping on a statement that was not quoted in full. But then you have such a hatred of Obama, there is no way you could possibly write the truth or anything positive. American Girl in Italy…go back to your macrame or whatever it is you do over there - hope you don’t look as hateful and ugly as you sound with your jr. high school-like article here. maybe English is no longer your language?

This is NOT an Obamacon Bus Stop, so just move along, honey.

Comment by carol | 2008-07-31 02:28:59

HONEY????? sexist are we??

Comment by Zeke | 2008-07-31 03:27:55

Carol,
I’m honestly curious here…If Cindy is female and uses a term of mock endearment like “sweetie,” is that really sexist?
I see no malice in a friendly “sweetie.” It seems no less innocuous than me saying to a male troll, something like “buddy.”
But why I would call a stupid, out of touch knucklehead, “buddy,” is beyond me.
What’s up with that anyway, Cindy?

Comment by Zee | 2008-07-31 06:27:55

Carol is a “buddy” anyway. The Obamathugs have to take turns posting in drag.

But thanks for boring us with your presence, Miss Thug. It proves that the Snob-ama camp really fears the “arrogance” tag has legs.

Comment by Leisa | 2008-07-31 07:59:37

Yes, “carol” sounds a bit like the troll JKFrizzle…

Twist and contort all you like, your blather will not win you any Obama converts, “carol”.

You are rude and condescending towards others that have a different perspective than you. You are a typical Obama ambassador. That is a chilling thought isn’t it?

 
 

Comment by Cindy | 2008-07-31 09:07:40

Zeke……A little word in your ear. I’m from the South. “Honey” is used for both women AND men down here.

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-07-31 12:31:18

Cindy….Yankees and Westerners can be sooo….touchy…lol…No ?

Comment by Cindy | 2008-07-31 13:56:09

workingclass——–yes, yankees always show their sensitive side just when you least expect it (or want to see it, even!)That’s how they won “the war” I’m sure! They faked us out! lol…………

Comment by Fred C. Dobbs | 2008-07-31 18:04:00

Won WHAT war?

You don’t see any Crackers retiring to Maine or Wisconsin or NY, do you?

Happier with sweetie are you, sfb?

Just because someone disagrees with you politically is no reason to insult her. That’s very immature. This country is founded on the right to vote for whom we want (for any reason) and for the right to express our views freely and publicly without repercussions from people like you. If you don’t like what she said or don’t like her blog, move along. Like a radio station, if you don’t like a song, turn the dial.

Yes, she has stated fact. He did say, If I give you a kiss, will you vote for me then? to a female. In his book, he openly admits to illegal drug use. Reverend Meeks, Reverend Wright, and Father Phleger were his spiritual leaders, surrogate uncles, and dear friends until it wasn’t politically expedient for them to be. He did make a comment about a cell phone vibration when a woman brushed up against his leg. He did know Rezko and very well - are you from Chicago? They met and had dinner together quite frequently.
