Really, I don’t stop often enough to remind myself to be grateful that we have a president named Barack Obama. I pity myself for that failure.
“The first time around it’s like lightning in a bottle. There’s something special about it, because you’re defying the odds. And as time passes, you start taking it for granted that a guy named Barack Hussein Obama is president of the United States,” Obama said. “But we should never take it for granted.”
“I hope that all of you still feel that sense of excitement and that sense of possibility, because we still have so much more to do.”
I still feel a sense of excitement all right. A sense that, for the first time in my adult life, I suspect that the president is actively trying to make me pay more for gas. That the president really is out to hurt my state. That the president may really pick the NCAA tournament winner, while the world burns down around him. Exciting! Lightning in a bottle!
If anyone still doubts that this man is in the grips of some really serious narcissism, that quote should hopefully shake those doubts.
May The Lord have mercy on all the Americans who voted for this America hating egomaniac. Cause I’m not gonna.
We need a graphic. Obama fiddling while the world burns.
He truly is a legend, in his own mind. I am reminded there are lots of legends, not all good. I’m guessing to us, Obama’s legend is one of the infamous ones.
Alas, we misunderstand President Obama because we have never walked even a mile in his shoes. We therefore lack his monumental openness, reserve, humility, truthfulness and audacity. We can only hope, someday, to ascend to the great heights to which he has already risen unassisted. We will never be able to do as well as President Obama has but we must at least try.
How many others would have the courage to say such things? No, el Presidente Chavez doesn’t count.
We must confess shame at our failures and recognize that he is truly great: with only two+ years in office, he is already the world leader others could only hope in their future lives to emulate. They, instead of muddling about ignorantly and without interest in world affairs, should sit at the foot of his throne and simply watch our President Obama in action. Even though embarrassed by their adulation, he would accept it with his customary grace and humility.
LMAO!
Lightning in a bottle … As in can’t outrun it, can’t escape it, and probably won’t survive it with your life intact?
Yep, I’m still feeling the “excitement.”
Every. Bleepin’. Day.
PS: Shouldn’t that headline read:
Obama reminds Democrats of his overwhelming “I”someness?
Damn. I *feel* that thrill up my leg.
Oh. It’s just the Dog peeing on me. Disregard.
