I just had a very quick look at the “obama and God” link.

If you read it properly, he says he is talking to God, but Obama is talking to himself. Read what he says. He sees himself as God!!

However, if you really want an insight into this person, have a look at Dr. Sanity where she writes about Obama on the world stage. I would suggest reading Dr. Alice Miller, who described in detail the family background of Adolf Hitler, and how he was playing out his issues on the world stage. There are some very scary parallels.

I have an equally scary Prime Minister – Kevin KRudd – who is also playing out childhood issues, and who has the same bad spending and spin habits.

#11: The mysterious “spam filter” eats comments now and then – even happens to the regulars. Our hosts, Bruce and Dan, are pretty diligent about moving legit comments out of quarantine so be patient.

The media honeymoon with most polititians eventually fades. With the Clintons it was when he wagged his finger into the camera and lied on live tv. With the very leftist, socialist Obama it is going to take longer because they sympathize with every leftward jolt of his plan. I think it will occur when the media get tired of the administration leading them around by the nose constantly. They will eventually use the promise of “transparency” I think to hold them accountable. Watch for the “alternative media” ,those not coopted by Obamateleprompter to prosper the next 4 years.

Other than prayer, Gay Christianist, how do you think one heads off a depression?

Here are two interesting windows into Obama's character. Richard Epstein discusses Barack Obama Richard Epstein is the James Parker Hall Distinguished Service Professor of Law at the University of Chicago, where he has taught since 1972. He was a colleague of Barack Obama when Obama taught as an instructor. Epstein had mutual friends with Obama, and talked to Obama about some issues. His main description is that Obama is under complete self-control. Obama and God When God talks to you through your inner voice, it is even better than prayer. Obama experiences this every day, in his own words, revealed in a March 2004 interview with a reporter on religious issues.

I wonder if boob can explain why the Chairman is refusing to take bank TARP repayments.

Our president is on the road to robbing us, and indenturing our children and grandchildren. He hates America, even if he says he loves USA you can see it in his eyes the contempt he has for freedom and everything America stands for. Just llok at the radicals and folks he associates with. You know “never let a good crisis go to waste” Rahm?

Our president is a shameless, filthy liar with delusions of grandeur that would make Napoleon’s ego pale in comparison.

Oh, bob, I’m laughing so hard at your latest bon mot… Please stop.

To apply the word “responsibility” to the federal budget doesn’t seem possible.

…hypocrisy because he says one thing while [acting] in a different direction. The hubris lies in his belief that his rhetoric defines the worldâ€™s reality, that if he says a noble quality defines his [presence or enterprise], then it must be so.

Behaviors that seem to define the Left and their apologists, at times.

I don’t think you can parse the Obama “swoon” rhetoric that the cult members adore unambiguously. Obama speaks in the tongue of Miles Gloriosus, a main character in “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.” (Miles is pronounced “Mee-lays” and his name is Latin for “boastful soldier.”) Two great lines Miles delivered that are true masterpieces in the Obama school of rhetoric:

“Stand aside, I take big steps.”

“Poor little moth, she fluttered to close to my flame.”

Obama intoxicates himself on the sniff of his own cork. He is a fine wine in his own mind, reserved for himself alone.

Read and weep:

“Something familiar, something peculiar”
“Something for everyone.:” “a comedy tonight”
“Something appealing,” “something appalling”
“Something for everyone.:” “a comedy tonight”
“Nothing for kings”
“Nothing for crowns”
“Bring on the lovers, liars and clowns”
“Old situations, new complications”
“Nothing portentous or polite”
“Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight”
“Something convulsive,” “something repulsive”
“Something for everyone.:” “a comedy tonight”
“Something aesthetic,” “something frenetic”
“Something for everyone.:” “a comedy tonight
“(chorus)”"Nothing of gods, nothing of fate”
“Weighty affairs will just have to wait” etc., etc., etc.

I believe Obama’s got the public sector O-bots and the GWLs (Guilty White Liberals) in his hip pocket. Forever. His wildly incoherent nonsense proclaiming that irresponsible spending got us into this mess, and way more irresponsible spending will get us out of it, is directed at the 14 to 18 year olds who couldn’t vote in 2008.

He’s aiming his 2012 campaign at the most ignorant and emotionally vulnerable demographic.
