Obama has a messianic complex. His arrogant, egotistical narcissism has NOTHING

[jlake]

to do with his race. (See Bush)
People who call out critics with accusations of racism are the ones injecting race into the conversation.
Discounting all criticism by "playing the race card" isn't going to cut it.

[Levgreee]

1. ok....

:freak:

[iconocrastic]

73. HRC is the messianic narcissist

That's why THEY accuse Barack of it.

Projection. The Clinton disease.

[hezekkia]

110. this is so out of control

What a ridiculous post -- nothing but a character smear.

now i understand the ramifications of Hillary getting her support from the least educated population of the Democratic Party.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

130. I'm sure these people are sent here by the GOP to stir things up!

[jlake]

142. Wow. What an elitist comment. Enjoy your wine with Obama.

[Hill_YesWeWill]

147. wow, pot calling the kettle black I think!

"What a ridiculous post -- nothing but a character smear.

now i understand the ramifications of Hillary getting her support from the least educated population of the Democratic Party."

[Arugula Latte]

136. Exactly. That's been HRC's campaign's attitude since day one ...

"Just shut up and support us; She's inevitable; Submit to her being the nominee; You have no choice; How dare you peons question us! We are the Great and Powerful; Do as we say." That got old for me in, oh, about five minutes, and is a big reason I've been sickened by her campaign from the beginning.

[ursi]

140. totally, Hillary and Bill feel "entitled" to get their hands back in the White House

huge egos after the embarassment they reeked there before ...

[jlake]

141. You can't even be serious.

[jakem]

2. that is a constructive post.

[Buzz Clik]

3. Of course he does, and we worship him as we would any messiah.

:eyes:

[rodeodance]

74. yup--some day Toto will pull back the curtain.

[TwilightGardener]

91. Yes, and that will reveal...a talented civil-rights lawyer, an effective legislator, a community

organizer, a law-school instructor, a Senator who worked on all kinds of unsexy but important legislation, a loving husband and father, and a man who has an inspiring vision for America and who clearly loves this country. How silly we are to be so fooled!

[rodeodance]

101. the glitter, the haze, the Vision thingy

[Buzz Clik]

137. Uh, yeah. And when Dorothy's done tapping her shoes together, she'll be back in (Ar)Kansas.

[ClericJohnPreston]

157. Does he also help little old ladies cross the street too?

That is, when he isn't lining his pockets with millions ( $21 MM to date ) from interested corporate lobbies.

Gee, I'm so glad HRC and Obama are so corporate friendly. I'm sure their being the only two candidates left standing, is all above board without any help from the DLC and DNC.

the behavior of some posters.

Wow. You must have absolutely zero debate skill.

Oh wait. It's not....

[Kittycat]

9. Can I get a refund then

:(

[mrreowwr_kittty]

22. The handshake snub threads reveal that we have a lot of them here.

Wannabe Bill Frists who are able to psychoanalyze people based on snapshots. It's really quite impressive. There should be no unemployed Clinton supporters here since they can all get paid to be expert witnesses in court cases. :sarcasm:

[Duke Newcombe]

7. no need to be so angry...

...just because you can't touch Hillary's pantleg and be healed like with Obama, is no reason for getting upset! :)

[TwilightGardener]

10. "Messianic complex"? LOL! Your dislike for the man has veered off the cliff of reason.

[jlake]

12. nah, just listen to his speeches and see the imagery he promotes.

[TwilightGardener]

17. Yeah, "hope" and "healing" and "togetherness" and "optimism"--he's clearly sick.

[rodeodance]

81. I hear ME ME ME ME

[TwilightGardener]

86. No, that's your gal--the one whose campaign theme is that she's "in it to win it".

[rodeodance]

88. silly silly--you mean Obama is not in it to win?? how silly can you get!! of course he is!

[TwilightGardener]

95. I don't recall him kicking off his campaign with that central theme--

instead, he talks about what WE can do as a nation. And that's why people are responding.

[rodeodance]

111. I think it a very positive karma to ensure self and campaign workers and others that we can win.

[ErnestoG]

129. Thank you for supporting Obama in that.

[Kittycat]

21. Yes, he's very motivating for the Democratic Party. It's what we needed

after all these years of being pushed aside and ignored by not only bush, and many of the defeatists in congress. It's also what the party needed to energize our young voters.

[Critters2]

113. Compromise with Republicans is what we need? nt

[juajen]

19. Wow, making fun of Britney's mental health and someone you disagree with at the same time.

Keep it classy.

[Renew Deal]

25. C'mon, you know it's funny

And no less classy than your OP.

[jlake]

29. It's not funny. I can handle the criticism, but Britney does not need that today.

[TwilightGardener]

33. LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!!

:cry:

[jlake]

35. I am no fan of Ms. Spears - but to kick someone when they are down is just not right.

I think that even members of Obamanation could understand that.

[TwilightGardener]

45. Tear down our potential nominee with nutty and insulting psychoanalysis, but defend

a cheeseball fucked-up celebrity. Interesting priorities.

[jlake]

46. Is Obama on suicide watch?

When he is, let me know and I will tell people to be gentle on him.

[TwilightGardener]

47. Well, I'm sure that's next, since he's obviously not mentally healthy, according to you.

[Mz Pip]

61. Like Brittney reads DU.

Poor Brittney.

[jlake]

119. Like Obama does. Like Hillary does. It doesn't make it right to say anything you want.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

13. And Clinton's arrogant, egotistical narcissism has NOTHING to do with her gender.

So there.


*psst* BTW, most politicians are kinda arrogant and narcissistic. Believe me, I know enough of them. Sorta goes with the territory.

[jlake]

16. Agree with all of your points. Just have to add that Obama's ego is still pretty big in comparison.

[Kittycat]

27. Oh right... HIS ego. The one that speaks about what You and We can do. But,

Not HRCs Ego that says what "I" can do (I being her). Okay, no ego getting in the way there :rofl:

[TwilightGardener]

31. "I'm in it to win it"--says it all.

[rodeodance]

87. Obama will do/say anything to win

[TwilightGardener]

92. No. He won't. You're projecting what Hillary is like onto Obama.

[rodeodance]

112. YES HE WILL, YES HE WILL DO ANYTHING TO WIN!

[TwilightGardener]

116. All caps doesn't make it any more true. He could go all sorts of nasty, but he won't do it--

he doesn't want to wreck Hillary in case she's the nominee.

[rodeodance]

120. He is dissing Hillary on the campaign trail while Hilliary goes after Bush polices. He is

running a negitive nasty campaign.

[polichick]

18. True. nt

[bowens43]

15. What a ridiculous rant.

Truly pathetic.

[jlake]

23. Why. Any critique of Obama is met with "That's racist" It is outrageous.

[tridim]

109. Can you link to one? It should be easy because you said "Any critique of Obama" nt

54. ....

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[truedelphi]

26. Let's talk actions here. Obama was not the one who called in his

National Organization to do the local work in local chapters in Iowa.

Instead, he presumed that the good people of Iowa could handle the campaign and election work that needed doing. And Iowans rewarded him with a victory in that state.

Whereas Hillary called in her Big Dogs to set things up and too bad if they stepped on the locals who were politically active.

And she lost out to Obama as a result.

Which one acted like a person with a Messianic complex in that case?

[Leo 9]

28. Thanks for your continuing efforts to win people away from Hillary...

...and over to Obama.

Keep up the good work!

He's in the clouds, above the world "asking us to believe" ... Scary.

[TwilightGardener]

41. Where's that picture of Hillary with her head looking like it's popping up

out of a wedding cake--the white-lace high collar? Can you say "Queen"? I know you can! Maybe Obama just wants to remind people of limitless skies and sunny optimism. But if you want to see something dysfunctional, you go right ahead.

106. Obama as Jesus

Art student's depiction of Obama as Jesus causing a stir





By NATHANIEL HERNANDEZ
Associated Press Writer
Published April 2, 2007, 9:11 PM CDT

CHICAGO -- He wears Jesus' robes and a neon blue halo, looks like Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and is causing a stir at a Chicago art school.

An undergraduate student's paper mache sculpture of Obama as a messianic figure -- entitled "Blessing" -- went on display Saturday at a West Loop gallery run by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. By Monday, word of the piece had spread on political blogs, and the school had been flooded with calls.
David Cordero, 24, made the sculpture for his senior show after noticing all the attention Obama has received since he first hinted he may run for the presidency.

"All of this is a response to what I've been witnessing and hearing, this idea that Barack is sort of a potential savior that might come and absolve the country of all its sins," Cordero said. "In a lot of ways it's about caution in assigning all these inflated expectations on one individual, and expecting them to change something that many hands have shaped." http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=3002081

[juajen]

51. OKay, what's he gonna do first?

Anybody know? I am so tired of this "believe" shit. I get that from evangelicals all the time. Don't look at facts, just "believe". Have none of you any sense?

Obama Says That His First Action as President Would be to Bring U.S. Troops Home from Iraq

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT

January 5, 2008

In an 11-minute interview with hometown Chicago radio broadcaster and journalist, Roland Martin, Barack Obama revealed that his first act, if elected president, would be to pull our troops out of Iraq as quickly as possible.

You can listen to the interview, conducted the morning after Obama's victory in Iowa here.

BuzzFlash has excerpted the key Iraq question and answer below. But there's a lot more interesting stuff to listen to in a rather candid, hoarse conversation between Obama and Martin.

Roland Martin: If you are elected what is the very first thing that you focus on as Commander in Chief of this country?

Barack Obama: Well, we will call in the Joint Chiefs of Staff. I will give them a new assignment and that is to bring our troops home in a careful, responsible way, but to end this occupation in Iraq. I will call in my Secretary of State and initiate the diplomacy that's needed to make sure that exit is accompanied by negotiations between the Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds.

98. Hello! Check your assumptions honey.

The photo in my sig line is from his visit to one of our classrooms.


This is Barack addressing our senior class last year.



Here is his grad photo from our school.

[jlake]

108. I am glad that you got to meet him. But I don't think that constitutes "knowing" him.

I have shaken hands with Hill and Bill several times, yet I do not "know" them.

[mahina]

117. Please tell me all about what you think I do and do not know.

Ass.

85. and Bill was right as some Obama campers/surrogates did just that.

[dionysus]

50. you're projecting the narcissism of your candidate onto Obama...

[jlake]

55. nope. Obama just got up one day and decided he was entitled to the Presidency.

That takes a big ego.

[TwilightGardener]

66. Was that in kindergarten?

[jlake]

72. Not according to him last I heard - but I haven't heard from Obama today so his

excuse/statement has probably changed. Maybe Claire McCaskill can vouch for the moment he decided.

[TwilightGardener]

82. Maybe Hillary can dig up a third-grade essay that says he wanted to

be a policeman, and then she can hit him with a flip-flop.

[grace0418]

126. Every American citizen who meets legal requirments is entitled to run for President.

Why is Obama's decision any different than any other candidate's? You kinda have to believe you can do the job if you're going to apply.

[jlake]

143. Because he attacks HIllary for working hard and wanting to be president for a long time.

To me that is responsible. & Obama thinks he gets points from just up and deciding to run..... I don't see it that way.
No one is *owed* the presidency, but the president *should* *deserve* the job.

84. What a pantload.

[AtomicKitten]

79. You should work for JPL with that, um, interesting line of reasoning.

[dchill]

93. "arrogant, egotistical narcissism"

is not a deal-breaker. It is practically a prerequisite for being a candidate for president. Like being 35 years of age or a native citizen. It's just the way it is. They all have it.

And by the way, the "race card" IS a real issue, and Billary played it first.

[smoogatz]

Just can't help yourself, can you? It's always interesting (and a little creepy) when people with totally unexamined motivations go on a DU posting binge.

123. Obama couldn't think himself out of a paper bag. He does what he is TOLD. nt

[magatte]

131. That's a lie, yet again hate-filled Hillary supporters can't help themselves..

- Obama graduated summa-cum-laude from Harvard Law School. And was elected president of the Harvard Law REview (which is an academic publication).

- Obama taught Constitutional Law at one of the top law shools in the country (University of Chicago). Not contract-law at the Univerity of Arkansas....

- He won an election to the US Senate on his own merit and not just on his family name.

That is infinetly more than Hillary can claim to. Even if I wouldn`t dispute that she IS intelligent and ambitious.

[earth mom]

135. First, I DO NOT LIE. BTW-Who writes Obama's speeches hmm? Who pays for his campaign?

FYI-I don't give a damn about his education because he is NOT using his education for good.

Connections to the moneyed elite are KEY to getting Obama where he wants to go and he is using them for ALL THEY ARE WORTH.

Obama has sold his soul to the highest bidder-just like Hillary. :puke:

[mahina]

156. Barack writes his own speeches

and I would appreciate it if you would spew that elsewhere, thanks a lot.

[earth mom]

160. And Hillary & Obama don't SPEW? ROFL! The TRUTH HURTS doesn't it? nt

[Hill_YesWeWill]

146. NO, this is not true, Obama does not have a messianic complex! nt
