Listening to Obama's Victory Speech Tuesday Night Was Like....

(UPDATE: Bad news for Obama and Pelosi.)


....... listening to Superman before subduing the evil Gotham empire in one fell swoop. He can do what other mere mortals have failed repeatedly to do in the past, and go where angels fear to tread. Government as God is the last, best hope for humanity, and he's the messianic man for the job, he assured the bleating crowds.

........listening to Santa Claus before coming to town. He told us in no uncertain terms those he'll consider naughty and those he'll consider nice in an Obama Administration.

Let's see, all the entrepreneurs and big companies who have created jobs and wealth for those who are clever and hard working enough to take advantage of it, will be punished and get no presents for the next four or more years. Didn't you and I know, it's the government, stupid, who's supposed to give all good economic gifts? The creative private sector will now have to pay through the nose.


And all the fine soldiers who've fought the good fight in the War on Terror are going to have to come home, so that the last seven years of their work can go down the drain, as an Obama-nation will quickly snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The War with Islamic fascism is just an illusion anyway, you understand.

On the other hand, those who Obama perceives as victims of course through no fault of their own, will be the beneficiaries of his largess in the form of higher taxes and more government entitlements. Individual and personal responsibility will be out of vogue, but those with their dependent hands outstreatched to Daddy-government assistance and guidance will receive hope and lots of goodies from O-Santa's magical bag of addictive tricks.

That should be good for all of us. Let's see, maybe Obama also can spend billions of taxpayers' revenues investigating the 9-11 attacks, just to make sure it wasn't a great right-wing conspiracy after all.

I am reading Jonah Goldberg's book "Liberal Fascism." He makes comments about the cult of personality--especially in the chapter on JFK that I think are approppriate to Obama as well.

I fear the crowd mentality of folks at the Wellstone memorial service. I hear the same in the awe people have for Obama.

He says nothing very well.

Politically this is going to be a tough year. Hopefully the Democrats will suffer some from Hillar's attacks on Obama which should heighten as she sees her candidacy slipping away but in the end the Democrats will come together. Obama will certainly have a leftist program with free stuff for everyone. The attacks on capital formation will not be appreciated but will be there to the detriment of a growth policy. I don't even think leftist Democrats understand that.

Scary stuff! Obama scares me to death. Hillary would be better than Obama! And that shows how much I dislike Obama!

What is it about Barack Obama that "scares you to death"?
