    Obama=Bush

    If HRC manages to knock Mr. Perfect, the saintly Obama out of the race she and her husband will be doing the US a great favor. Mr. Obama's clinical diagnosis is: "Narcissistic personality disorder with delusions of grandeur" Another Jim Jones in the making. Obama actually said, in SF on January 18 (source SF Chronicle) "On the day I am elected and sworn into office, not only does this country look at itself differently, but I think the world looks at itself differently. And that's not just symbolic"

    Obama can kiss my patootie. I don't buy his schtick for one minute. The media should have done its job and held this self obsessed man under the microscope, instead of giving him a pass like they did GWBush.

    Oh yeah. One more thing. When that Newsweek cover photo of Obama was taken they forgot to mention that Obama was looking into a mirror.

    So! "BamaBots! Are.You.Fired.Up. And.Ready.To.Go? Do.You.Weep.When.Obama.Speaks? Weeping. Weeping.
