no, this guy isn't full of himself. :whatever: he merely represents the moment in time that all of the citizens
of planet earth have been waiting for, and he will heal our oceans, and cure us of our clinginess to God, Guns,
and being cranky at immigrants.
Obama's Symbolic Importance
In his closed door meeting with House Democrats Tuesday night, presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama delivered a real zinger, according to a witness, suggesting that he was beginning to believe his own hype.
Obama was waxing lyrical about last week's trip to Europe, when he concluded, according to the meeting attendee, "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, according to the source.
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."

No, Barack, you have become a symbol of the greatest single weakness of a democracy...fickle, superficial, and uneducated voters thronging in great numbers to support the most attractive candidate rather than the most able.

Notice that Barak is the great "I" . I this and I that , recall that one TRADITION of truly greatness within the founder's traditions is MODESTY! Not self agrandizement. Honest to God, I :evillaugh: think the man's insane.

Well....humility certainly isn't one of his strong points....

I couldn't hear the sound because we were in a restaurant, but some news channel was running election stuff and they said McCain called Obama the 'greatest rock star/celebrity' of his time. I'm paraphrasing...but he apparently took a shot the Oooooobama. Heh. :-)

I think it might be a little on the childish side, but it was still pretty funny

thanks WE! I didn't catch the whole story and I now it looks like he got beat up for it.
I'm finally seeing the McCain ads! This one ran last night and a few others have as well. The Ooooobama ads have been running for weeks now. I don't get it.
