The Right Opinion
President Diva
According to President Obama, he's a historic figure. That's no figure of speech. This week, journalist Seth Mandel discovered that President Obama had authorized his staff to add his name to the biographies of former presidents from Calvin Coolidge to George W. Bush on the White House website.
For example, Calvin Coolidge, it now states at WhiteHouse.gov, created the Federal Radio Commission; President Obama "became the first president to hold virtual gatherings and town halls using Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, LinkedIn, etc." Franklin D. Roosevelt created Social Security; President Obama says FDR's biography "continues to protect seniors and ensure Social Security will be there for future generations." Lincoln ended the Civil War; Obama once thought about growing a beard. All other presidents, apparently, were just placeholders until The Big Fella arrived.
This massive sense of ego has led Obama to the inevitable conclusion that his is the only opinion that matters. If he is the culmination of Ronald Reagan, John F. Kennedy and Dwight D. Eisenhower, then he is also the culmination of all moral thought for the last several thousand years. He can singlehandedly declare same-sex marriage moral -- and what's more, he can fundraise off of it like nobody's business. If religious institutions had thought to back same-sex relationships millennia ago, just think how full their coffers would be now.
The swooning media has feted Obama for his bravery. Newsweek placed a rainbow halo around his head and christened him "The First Gay President," which should surely come as a shock to Michelle. Members of "The View" oohed and aahed at him, with Joy Behar leering so sycophantically that it was a wonder she didn't lose a layer of her pancake makeup on his posterior. Obama, we've been told, has evolved; those who haven't evolved alongside him are now a stage of evolution behind. Thus, the awkward spectacle of MSNBC's Chris Matthews lecturing a black pastor that he hoped would "evolve" -- a statement that would certainly get any non-liberal kicked off the air forthwith and with good reason.
And, of course, nobody was prouder of Obama than Obama himself. His campaign website now features baby clothing emblazoned with the slogan "My Two Dads Support Barack Obama." His campaign team has sent out emails asking for cash that make it sound as if Obama just achieved world peace. Never mind that children need a mother and a father -- Obama spoke, and the world was changed.
Obama's ego has disconnected him from everyday Americans. He seems bewildered as to why less and less Americans are interested when he slow jams the news on Jimmy Fallon; he seems confused when Americans laugh at his campaign trotting out a "composite woman" to tout his record. He's getting desperate; and he's getting angry.
Worse, he's getting more and more insulated. He has already fundraised with George Clooney and Ricky Martin; in June, he'll fundraise at the house of Ryan Murphy, despicable creator of indoctrination entertainment show "Glee." He's charging $15,000 for photos with him, even as he complains about the disconnect between the 1 percent and the 99 percent. He's somehow finding a way to turn Mitt Romney into a populist.
Obama's arrogance would be amusing were it not so insanely dangerous. When it comes to the world stage, it is Obama's perverse self-assurance that he can right all wrongs merely by talking at them that has doomed much of the Middle East to generations of darkness. When it comes to domestic policy, it is Obama's egotistic belief that he knows best and that Americans are simply ignorant, which has led him to embrace radical causes ranging from nationalization of health care to drilling moratoria.
The American people are an open-minded and tolerant people. But we don't take kindly to being ordered about by a man with a monarchic mind. If Obama doesn't check his ego at the door, he's going to find the door hitting him on the way out.

I'm trying to assemble a new group of victims, and looking for members. We have too much money to be in the 99% but sure don't have enough to be in the 1%. So I guess we're relegated to be the 53%-ers (the ones who pay taxes.) Obama is already with the 47%-ers who don't pay taxes, so if he'll just include us in his protected classes, he'll have just about everybody's best interests at heart and can be elected as King of the World. Sadly, when civil war breaks out, we'll need about two dozen different kinds of uniforms.

@Lee - You would be able to recognise true American patriots by their Gadsden Patches and American Flags. The opposition won't have a lot of guns and they'll be flying the rainbow flags and wearing Pink Camoflage, or Black Leather jackets and Black Berets with the Panther flags (gotta watch these, they'll be armed), or flying a flag with the Female symbol with a fist in the circle. Anyway the point is I think the other side will have the multitude of uniforms, and our side won't be too hard to recognise.

The door I want to see hitting his backside is a cell door in his favorite hellhole, Cuba. I would support tax dollars funding a permanent vacation for him and his czars at Guantanamo Bay. He said he wanted to close it, but since he was unable, lets let him vacation there permanently.

"Obama's arrogance would be amusing were it not so insanely dangerous." This little statement is so true, and it mught turn out to be an understatement. When the government and the media work so hard together to promote an image at some point it crosses the line into deceptive propoganda. Propoganda always has a purpose and great purveyors of propoganda are rarely concerned with truth, for they believe they can create truth. How much twisting of the truth have you seen by the Great One - the one who will stop the rise of the oceans, the deliverer of justice, the envy of Calvin Coolidge.

"This week, journalist Seth Mandel discovered that President Obama had authorized his staff to add his name to the biographies of former presidents from Calvin Coolidge to George W. Bush on the White House website."Such arrogance and conceit! There is, however one biography to which Obama's name should be added, although it is likely absent from the White House website: the biography of Benedict Arnold!

I saw a car with a "99%" sticker on the bumper on the way into work today...I think I need one with "53%" on it for my truck....

Meanwhile, who's doing his job?? Who's "got our back" while he's parading around that ego of his??

Kathy, please don't be fooled into thinking that the Republicans "have your back." They are only marginally better than the socialist democrats. Else, why would we be where we are?

And this comes as a surprise from someone who was referred to as "The One" and in a speech in 2008 stated "This is the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal."? He isn't even taken serious by his European counterparts because when President Sarkozy of France heard President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize he asked if he intended to walk over there to accept it?

@Tex Horn: I couldn't agree with you more about not trusting the Republicans to cover our sixes. There was an article recently (7th of May 2012)by Michael Walsh of the National Review entitled "Monsters of the ID" where he argues against re-electing Sen.Lugar and Hatch. In it he states "It is not bi-partisanship we need it's principles." Bi-partisanship is what got us into this mess by members of Congress making deals on spending.The bringing home the bacon without spilling the beans of what is involved.

@mac: And the Tea Party has who as their Presidential nominee? Perhaps you should go back and read into Ben Sharpiro's archive. I refer you to two of his articles written this past year entitled "The Republican Party becomes the Whig Party"dated the 2nd of February 2012 and "Time to Purge the Republican Party" dated 18th of January 2012. In his column "Time To Purge the Republican Party" Mr. Sharpiro writes "The Republican party is all over the place. The Republican party includes high-tax deficit hawks,and it includes low-tax supply siders.It includes high spending compassionate conservatives,and it includes low spending small government types.It includes pro-gay marriage libertarians and pro-traditional marriage religious voters It includes anti-immigration believers and open border free marketers.It includes Ron Paul isolationist, and George Bush Wilsonians and everything in between.......Each and every Republican presidential candidate since Reagan has tried to paper over these differences.The result is that the Republican party nominee have been remarkably similiar in their political viewpoints.Call them paper Republicans.......Mitt Romney is a paper Republican.We don't know where he stands on anything because the Republican party no longer knows where it stands on anything......The problem isn't Mitt Romney.The problem is the Republican party." Don't try to tell me the Tea Party is in control of the Republican party. Has the Republican primaries changed where they aren't top loaded and the states that hold primaries later in the year aren't meaningless? Is primogeniture still the rule where the guy who came in second in the last Presidential primary cycle crowned in the current race? Does the Republican party still peddle their MODERATE candidate to Conservatives with the less of two evils fear factor so they stay on the reservation? It is the Tea Party who have been the reason moderate Republicans such as Sen. Snow in Maine is retiring and Sen. Luger and Sen.Hatch face stiff challanges in primaries.The Tea Party needs to take control over Congress and thus control the committees.If President Obama is re-elected this is the only thing standing in his way.But this is a slow and tedious way of taking over the party.After all what type of person becomes a politician? People who hate government? No it's those people who love government who succeed.Who see government as a great tool for change.Thats why Conservatives won't reduce government from the top down.We need to rise from the grass roots up.

@mac: One last quote from Ben's column mentioned above "Time to Purge the Republican Party". "The Republican party has,for the last half century,consolidated liberal gains and trimmed around the edges.The result has been an unstoppable juggernaut of government growth and the loss of traditional American freedoms.The paper Republican experiment has been a dramatic failure for Conservatives."
