The Presumptuous Candidate

Obama’s campaign reeks of entitlement. Note these presumptuous remarks:

When Jim Steinberg, Bill Clinton’s former national security adviser, told reporters that during four years in the White House he had never had to go on the record for a briefing there was a chorus of retorts that Obama wasn’t in the White House.

The same day, during a testy exchange in which Team Obama persisted with the preposterous contention that the Berlin speech was not a campaign event, Susan Rice, another Obama foreign policy aide, was also accused of hubris.

“It is not going to be a political speech,’ she said. “When the President of the United States goes and gives a speech, it is not a political speech or a political rally.” A reporter reminded her: “But he is not President of the United States.”

– From Real Clear Politics’ “The Presumptive – and Presumptuous – Nominee.”

    Well, now we know that our wounded troops are just an annoyance that should take a backseat to Barky’s political/campaign plans. The troops are just for flicking off his jacket. So he’s campaigning in Europe, but isn’t because he’s a citizen of the world. Yeah, minus the wounded.

    Fox News: Guard Confirms Late-Night Hotel Encounter Between Ex-Sen. John Edwards, Tabloid Reporters
    The Beverly Hilton Hotel guard said he encountered a shaken and ashen-faced Edwards — whom he did not immediately recognize — in a hotel men’s room early Tuesday morning in a literal tug-of-war with reporters on the other side of the door.

    “What are they saying about me?” the guard said Edwards asked.

    “His face just went totally white,” the guard said, when Edwards was told the reporters were shouting out questions about Edwards and Rielle Hunter, a woman the National Enquirer says is the mother of his child.

    Obama Hossanah is just so utterly disgusting. Everything he says, and every move he makes revolts me. His starry-eyed young supporters are apparently too young to remember televangelism and are far too removed from the mass movements of the pre-WWll hysterias. His recent apotheosis in Berlin did not remind me so much of Kennedy or Regan as it did of another more famous 1930′s politician who cut his teeth in that city, and afterwards—the world.

    I just read the funniest article in the UK Times online. Speaking of the presumptuous candidate.

    July 25, 2008
    He ventured forth to bring light to the world
    The anointed one’s pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a miracle in action – and a blessing to all his faithful followers

    The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.

    When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”

    In the great Battles of Caucus and Primary he smote the conniving Hillary, wife of the deposed King Bill the Priapic and their barbarian hordes of Working Class Whites.

    I know this is OT but it is sad that the Obama supporters are looking for a political hero with the empty suit.

    In light of that I want to honor the life of Randy Pausch, by recommending ‘The Last Lecture’. It really is a don’t miss.

    That man inspired me more in a few Oprah segments than Obama ever has. Afterwards, I sought out the full length lecture and saw the shorter Oprah version again on YouTube.

    So we have a problem with an arrogant candidate … and an arrogant team surrounding him. It so reminds me of George Bush. The latter surrounded himself with the cloak of Jesus and all that went with the far right. Most sane dems at that time found this cloak of holiness that Bush wrapped himself in to be laughable but George went on to win the White House. I thought at the time that there were an awlful lot of right wing fanatics out there and of course I also thought they all lived within the Republican Party.

    Obama is simply proving that zealot fanaticism has no party preferences. It is a weakness of the citizens of the United States to have very strange gods before them. To treat another human being as if they are better than you in any way, shape, or form, glorifiying them as if they are the risen Christ when their actions and words point to the contrary, is a form of mental illness that sound reason can only hope to chip away at. It speaks volumnes about the state of mind of a lot of US citizens.

    Respecting another for their words … words that are consistant with their actions … is a perfectly sane thing to do. But carrying on as if your home were in a tree, drooling over a presidental candidate (as too many citizens of this nation and the media does,) acting as if the candidate were Mily Cyrus ready to take on Hillary Clinton for any office at all, is nuts.

    But, just as it was with George in 2000 and 2004, we have a mental problem with too many of our citizens. To solve this problem, since the Germans seem to adore Obama so much, let’s add Germany to his citizenship status and ship him there ASAP. Better yet, let’s ship him to Israel. The holy one can clean up the Middle East and then dine with Ahmadinejad. He will be a real hit with Israel.

    They can’t win the general election the same way they manipulated the primaries so what do they do, the “act as if.” They think they can manipulate the masses through the media and brainwash them just like the followers into believeing he already is the president so when they got to the polls in November it will be a forgone conclusion. The only trouble is there are more powerful forces at work than the myopic Chicago con men and he’ll lose in a landslide.
    Side note: The last time I saw John Edwards he had his arm around the presumptive president, should have stayed away from endorsing him, that kind of evil travels easily to anyone who comes in contact with him.

    Thought I’d add this bit of information the Berlin event being a campaign event. There was a detailed account on another blog/comment area by one German who actually attended the event and stated that he had seen a lot of people wearing Team Obama shirts going through the crowd yelling for Americans who had their voter registration cards. So the statement about it not being a campaign event is simply not true.

    Has anyone heard about John Edwards affair from a source other than Enquirer?

    National Enquirer Reporters File Criminal Complaint in Edwards Controversy

    National Enquirer reporters Alan Butterfield and Alexander Hitchen have filed a criminal complaint with the Beverly Hills Police Department against the security staff of the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The paper is also not backing off from its story — virtually daring Edwards to file a defamation lawsuit.

    The criminal complaint alleges that the reporters were prevented from speaking with Edwards, who was not a guest at the hotel. The reporters were registered guests.

    The confrontation occurred at approximately 2:40 a.m. on Tuesday, July 22 in the basement of the hotel. The reporters state that, when Edwards saw them, he ran down the hall, ran into a bathroom, and then blocked the door. Security staff moved in to prevent the reporters from questioning him.
    They have cited various violations of the California Penal Code, including false imprisonment and preventing a guest from entering land.

    L.A. Times Bars Bloggers From Covering Edwards Affair Story

    In an extraordinary act of self-censorship, the Los Angeles Times has asked its bloggers not to discuss the Edwards story about his alleged affair and child with Rielle Hunter. The story was broken by the National Enquirer after allegedly catching Edwards at a hotel with the woman.

    The memo from Tony Pierce should be a concern for all bloggers, columnists, and journalists. There is ample reason to question the source of the story. However, that can be the subject of legitimate discussion. While I hate to admit it, this seems to have some elements of a legitimate story. It is now an open source of discussion and bloggers have an interest in exploring the merits. This was the thrust of the Los Angeles story. If true, it clearly is a legitimate story since Edwards denied the affair on the campaign trial and a close friend (and politician Andrew Young) claimed to be the father of the child,…

    I agree totally. When Bush got reelected 4 years ago, I ranted and raved about how despicable he was. Now I’m realizing, next to Obama, Bush looks like a saint! I never thought I would ever soften in my feelings toward Bush, but all this has made me realize that Obama is far worse than Bush could ever hope to be.

    History will redeem Bush. He won’t go down in history books as a tyrant. Children years from now in their social studies classes will probably learn that Bush had an exceedingly trying time in office with 9/11 etc. and didn’t perform well in office because of how difficult circumstances in the world were at the time. This is not my opinion of Bush, but I think this is how he will be portrayed in history.

    We as Americans should not be interested or concerned if the French, the Germans, the English, the Italians or the Martians for that matter should adore and applaud this Obama. Our country wasn’t founded on whether or not we were popular with foreign powers. Had that been the case, our founders of this great land wouldn’t have written a Declaration of Independence and declared the King an enemy of our United States. They would not have set out to form a more PERFECT UNION which did not include the courts of Europe or elsewhere for that matter. In keeping with our tradition we must remind Americans REPEATEDLY and without interruption that America is not a political appendage of any outside nation or foreign power, and we must steadfastly guard against any interloper who would set out to chip away at our fervent independence.

    This is one of the reasons why we should cringe when we hear Obama speak of “world” citizenry. And this is one of the reasons why I find his visit to Europe, yesterdays speech in Berlin and his ass-kissing to Sarkozy of France so suspect. This man who lived his formative years in a foreign country, whose wife states that she has only been proud of her country once in her lifetime, this man who sits in an anti-American church for 20 years without objection, who associates with American-born terrorists and who threw his own white grandmother under the bus for political expediency is a slippery, slice of political seaweed that floats in any direction that the sea of change pushes him. As long as he doesn’t wash up on the beach, he will continue to move about from hither to thither rubbing elbows with unsavory agents who seek to dilute and poison the American melting pot.

  • steven Mather

    goock,

    Why do you continue with your outright lies and distortions? Anyone who reads the mainstream news knows that the State Department has nothing to do with the situation. The Pentagon’s statement makes it clear that Obama was told that he could visit the troops as a Senator, but that he could not bring reporters with him. After his campaign got this information they declined to visit the troops. Interpret from this what you will.

    My interpretation is this. Because military policy forbade making the visit a press opportunity, the Obama campaign’s claim, that they did not visit because it could be seen as playing politics with injured soldiers, is not believable. Before they knew they could not bring the press, they were gung ho about visiting the soldiers. If Obama visited the troops, there would be no press corp photo op (only military press), so he would not be seen making political hay. Accordingly, he did not visit because he could not get the press exposure that is the whole purpose of his European visit, apart from avoiding the problems that could be caused by remaining at home.

    Wis. Democrats oust delegate over McCain support

    Wisconsin Democrats on Friday ousted a delegate to their national convention for saying she would vote for Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain in November.

    Embarrassed by a defection in their ranks, the Wisconsin Democratic Party’s administrative committee voted 23-0 to strip Debra Bartoshevich of her status as a delegate to the Denver convention next month.

    “Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided,” Obama said at the June 4 American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference.

    On CNN the following day, he said,
    “Well, obviously, it’s going to be up to the parties to negotiate a range of these issues. And Jerusalem will be part of those negotiations,” he said when asked whether Palestinians had no future claim to the city. Obama said “as a practical matter, it would be very difficult to execute” a division of the city. “And I think that it is smart for us to — to work through a system in which everybody has access to the extraordinary religious sites in Old Jerusalem but that Israel has a legitimate claim on that city.”

    I just watched Obama being interviewed by Candy Crowley on CNN about his middle east trip. I would have been embarrassed for him had I found anything to like about him. He epitomizes “callow youth”…so very full of himself, so very used to impressing people with many empty words and equivocations. He is pathetic, and all the more so because he is so painfully impressed with his lack of experience and qualification. He is a dangerous one indeed, and he does not think quickly enough to parry the thrusts of an experienced, hard hitting interviewer.

    Obama or his campaign? Obama supporters constantly hide behind this argument. Obama didn’t call WJC a racist. No but his campaign did. Obama didn’t block a re-vote in Fla and Mich. No but his campaign did. Obama didn’t fan the fire of HRC innocent Bobby Kennedy comment. No but his campaign did. So are we talking just about Obama or his entire campaign?

    excuse me, troll, but asking about qualifications is not “racist”. IT’s like a job interview, get it?

    or maybe you don’t have a job.

    listen, dickwad, if you want to be hired you’d better have the balls to answer a tough question, because the interview will end abruptly if you call your potential boss a racist for asking you where you were born or why you didn’t write any papers while in Harvard.

    Just give me something-something I can use
    People love it when you lose,
    They love dirty laundry

    Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
    I just have to look good, I dont have to be clear
    Come and whisper in my ear
    Give us dirty laundry

    Their orders must be to go out, insult and attempt to intimidate. But it is not going to work. Their hatred and intimidation has only made us more determined to see Obama get defeated in November.

    Good read on riverdaugher. The sad truth is that Hillary would have made Rove and company accountable for the corruption they caused to our political system- with Obama there won’t be any accountability. What a joke on the DNC and a tragedy for America. Obama must be stopped for the good of the nation.

    She’s still too far left for me (a friend to Susan Sarandon) but she’s a MOTHER and she’s HONEST (as far as I can tell) and not afraid to stand up for her beliefs. I admire that. NOT at all a sell out like NANCY has become.

Perhaps obama could have visited- he just could not use the soldiers as a photo opportunity. So, if he cannot get a picture of healing the sick- there was really no point- especially since sick people can be such downers.

  • gregoryp

    I’ve always believed 9-11 was a direct result of the Bush administration being both arrogant and incompetent at the same time. As much as the Bush administration has had a tough time of it due to “environmental conditions” they’ve also been responsible for creating those conditions or at the very least being completely negligent in their duties. I also agree that Obama has the potential to be much, much worse. Hubris without justification isn’t a good combination and Hubris combined with plain old ignorance and stupidity is much worse. I cringe at the thought of an Obama presidency.

    Newsweek 2006

    It is not too early to pronounce Barack Obama a political phenomenon unlike any previously seen on the American scene. He proved that last week in Kenya, where he was received in a manner more befitting a messiah than a junior senator bearing nothing more than opinions and good cheer.

    same article

    He has taken on Chicago politicians and African presidents—without getting his graceful hands the least bit dirty. He has had a good bit of luck, including opponents who melted down.

    same article

    Obama has generally voted with his Democratic colleagues—for withdrawal from Iraq but not for a deadline, against confirmation of the two most recent Supreme Court nominees, for stem-cell research, against a flag-burning amendment—avoiding positions that seem particularly risky.

    At a dinner in Washington in March 2006, Obama said

    “I want to thank you for all the generous advance coverage you’ve given me in anticipation of a successful career. When I actually do something, we’ll let you know.”

  • http://chriss chris

    Let me preface this: I liked most of what BClinton did during his Presidency and I have been unhappy with a lot of GWB in his 2 terms. However, re 9-11, Bill had 3 really good chances to take out Osama and choose to not do it. (I know, 20-20 hindsight and all that). Had he done so, 9-11 might not have gone down. Most Presidencies blend from one to the next and the current term cannot be wholly separated from the one before it. Policies passed by Congress, agreements with foreign countries, trade etc. Some decisions of the previous president slide into the next Presdential term unfortunately. An Obama presidency will leave the following president, and all of us, with immeasurable problems and needs to be avoided at all costs. JMHO.

    The presemptive nature of this bandwagon just goes on and on. I just came from a get-out-the-vote rally in Charlotte, NC where Howard dean repeatedly refered to Barky as President Obama. although he was reminded that this guy is not even the nominee yet, just the presumptive nominee. The rally theme song of the day played over and over was —
    “Signed, Sealed, Delivered! I’m Yours!”

    WHat I think is knd of funny is that this cancelled visit to the wounded was not on his schedule. The first anyone knew that he was supposed to visit the woulded was when he announced he wasn’t going to because it would have been political. He makes this announcement that he is cancelling a stop that wasn’t even on his schrdule throwing out how high-minded he is because he doesn’t want to politicize this visit that no one knew about.

  • apishapa

    These idiot reporters act like his lack of access and king-of-the-world attitude is something new. I think I read a couple of months ago (when the waffle crisis came up) that he had not talked to reporters or answered question for weeks then. He has never been accessible, he gives photo ops and scripted speeches. He is a complete fuckup if he has to think on his feet.

    That is why they print one fluff peice after another, that is what is fed to reporters. There is no substance and never has been. And the reporters are too lazy to do any work for themselves.

    More Obama B.S.? Was The Crowd in Berlin 200,000 or Just 20,000?

    Fifteen minutes before Obama took the stage, German reporters estimated 20,000. Twenty minutes later, someone else, from the same news outlet, said 100,000. The figure of 200,000 came from Obama’s people, and the American press went with that.

    Compare photos of the Berlin rally with the photos of a rally in Portland, Oregon that drew 75,000. They look pretty close to me.

    Wouldn’t that take the delegate away from Obama since he won Wisconsin. I also think it opens the eyes for the superdelegates that really want Hillary back, but not sure how to go about it. Maybe if a few more delegates of these states went and talked to the supers, they’d have more backing. I think its good for a few of them to come forward. But that delegate should be taken away from Obama.

    World Net Dailey has Obama’s Global Poverty Act as a lead article tonight. The writer aproximates how much it’ll cost each one of us , however he fails to take into consideration that 42% of U.S. citizens don’t pay any federal taxes, so I think it’s probably safe to double the amount if you’re part of the 58% that ponies up every yr.

    Obama couldn’t get his press inside hospital of the wounded that Obama had on his agaenda to go vist the wounded.Well being the only rukes were was that no press inside because this should not be used as a politicial.So no press no Obama..He went to work out at the gym instead..Oh wow Obama couldn’t have press to have him look goiod inside so he didn’t go.Waht a loser.Obama could have went in and talked to the wounded troops still but hey no media or press was allowed inside.What a scub bag!

    See if it doesn’t fit for his agenda he doesn’t care.How do you think our troops felt?Obama could not drop in and stay to talk to them. NO he went to the gym and oh he got his picture in the press there as the girl talks like wow…Yeah WOW..I bet she doesn’t have a son in ther hospital or in war!

    I can’t stand Obama he is it this for hisself and the media is helping him as the media helped George Bush can’t anyone see that it’s George Bush-Obama-Media-press (democratic party -republicans) of some on each party who want’s Obama in so all can have their laughs on how they fooled americans again.

    I tell you I really belive George Bush-Obama -media-dems repubs-press are all in this together.

    Think about it?

    How sick he had time to go to the gym just because he wasn’t allowed media-press inside so he cancelled.

    Portland Oregon was a concern that Obama came across and went.It was a set up for his campaign to make it look like they were there for him.My sister thought it was so funny.Obama was nowhere around and noone knew he was to be there.She said many walked out as soon as he walked in on stage.

    The same as overseas many concerNS are free there.Obama again found his way in.But the only different is that Obama’s plan was weight down with the signs they took with him to be handed out as people walked in the gates.They are another countrys and didn’t as well know that OBAMA was coming.But hey they thought it would be fun with their free concerd and what ever they call it.Signs were put out free concern no bags-no pockets- Hey who ever he is.I GUESS WE GO WITH IT.

    Can’t wait for Hussein to flip-off McCain!

    Is anyone going to launch an investigation into Barack’s BERNIE MAC fiasco when he went on stage, “admonished” Bernie after a member of the audeience was disgusted with the “joke”‘s punchline (“mothers” and “sisters” are “FAMILY WHORES”)–and then said:

    “Hey, Bernie, I was just MESSING WITH YOU, man!” Yah, right! So, Hussein’s just as much a SEXIST JERK as Bernie!

    Gee, now that’s CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN….prostitution in every Home.

    And if the obama thinks that ‘mothers and sisters’ are whores, where does that leave Him?

    Too bad the Birth Control pill was legalized in ’64, 3 years after this brain-abortion fetus was given birth! At least we know his mother’s profession!
