If You Build It, They Will Come

Okay. So now the press has nothing better to talk about but the interiors of the Obama and McCain airplanes and how comparatively lush or spare they are.

Usually, I’d just skip over a ‘news item’ like this, but this tidbit from CBS News caught my eye…and here it is…

Yep. It’s hard to miss the fact that under the Obama ’08 Logo it says: President.

Is that to remind Senator Obama which office he is running for?

Perhaps he told his staff he is not going to sit his royal behind on a chair that doesn’t say President.

Or is it like the movie, Field of Dreams – “if you build it, they will come.”

Something out of The Secret or a methodology they teach at Camp Obama – just visualize it and say “Om.”

Be the change.

So, if I embroider Queen of All That Is on my blouse, can my throne be far behind?

Speaking of behinds, is the word “President” embossed on his toilet paper, too?

Somebody might want to quietly remind Senator Obama that he isn’t even officially the Democratic nominee yet and there’s still the pesky little problem of all those millions of voters going to the polls in November. Or has that already been fixed, too?

After looking at a few photos of Obama’s cabin, [Politico’s Mike] Allen quipped, “Air Force One may seem a tad claustrophobic.” Check it out for yourself:

Yeah, the place is pretty darn lush. I mean McCain’s plane isn’t exactly like the old “straight talk express” bus he traveled around in last year either — but I don’t think his chair has a title on it yet.

More about Obama’s special chair:

To one side is a small table stacked with newspapers ready for the candidate’s arrival. The table of the booth is always covered in snacks and cheese and is where Obama spends most of his time during flights meeting with staff and sitting for the occasional interview.

Snacks and cheese? What, no waffles?

And speaking of movies, his chair reminds me of a movie set where the director has his/her name emblazoned thereon – and woe to any poor slob with the audacity to sit on it. Only ‘the One’ may sit there!!

Oooh, maybe that smacks of more celebrity stuff again.

Ssshh. Don’t show this picture to McCain – he might put it in another ad!

Wouldn’t it be nice if a candidate like Mr. Hopey Changey were a little more concerned with figuring out how to actually do the job, before bestowing the title upon himself?

But his plane’s exterior reflects this same attitude. Senator Obama’s logo is actually twenty times the size of the American flag, even though he travels overseas by the leave of, and under the protection of, that flag. Oh yes, and let us not forget his version of the Presidential Seal. Yes we cannibus!!!

But he seems to like to do everything in a big way: large stadiums; screaming crowds; fainting in the aisles; the adulation of the throngs. And this ‘chair’ — sociopathically narcissistic? Is there no one on his staff to tell him this might look unseemly or over the top?

Perhaps this is more of the same “Camp Obama” strategy – overwhelm everyone into submission.

Glitz, media blitz and voila – there he sits!!

Mister Presumptuous.

Wow. Perhaps he is the celebrity candidate after all.
