Obama is the more perfect union. He is a house united. Obama is the New Generation and the hot light of a dawn that goes way beyond clever talk of morning in America.
Quite simply, quite plainly, just by virtue [of] his being, Obama is America. The first true American to lead our nation.
Unfortunately, I don’t think we even made the jump. We fell in the tank with it.

Just for arguments sake, let’s imagine for a second that this guy is not a total idiot. I think perhaps he should look into Andrew Jackson for filling out his definition of a ‘real’ American. He was of Scots-Irish descent, who was raised from a lower class and enjoyed mass public appeal for his fairly progressive agenda. But I think this, unfortunately, is more about race then anything else.
davymark8 on January 27, 2009 at 8:43 AM
But for all their grand rhetoric and mostly good deeds, none was able to seal the deal on the trifecta of equality, plurality and socioeconomic ascendancy.
And there you have it. If he had been black and born into a well to do family (IE Condoleeza Rice) he wouldn’t have been a “true” American.

My daughter is a senior in high school and says that she knows of only one other young lady that thinks BO isn’t the dreamiest man on the planet. She says that just about everyone including the teachers just can’t get enough BO. She says it is quite disgusting how everyone at her school pretty much worships him. The place my son works has placed TVs in the work areas and all work stops so they can listen to BO when he comes on TV. Either BO is the Anti-Christ or he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

It is only about being Black. Black is the new fad. Kids are wishing they were black. Girls at my daughter’s HS want to date black guys as do many of the boys. Toys are being made black oriented. Foods are being named after famous blacks, mainly BO. Both BO and MO have set the new desired look people are striving for. Black “culture” is quickly replacing American culture as everyone wants to be “black”.

I have to hand it to the liberals and their ability to redefine words. Rape is now a useless word because of liberals and racist is becoming if not already one. I don’t like BO and I don’t think he is or will be good for this country. If that makes me a racist in the view of liberals then so be it. I have found as a group liberals to be the most racist, intolerant, divisive and immature people I know of so it doesn’t really matter what they think of me.
jmarcure on January 27, 2009 at 9:12 AM
I’m still not altogether sure that Obama is really an American in the first place. As to being the first American; Utterly laughable.
Guardian on January 27, 2009 at 9:14 AM
The media love affair with hype (both good and bad). It’s not enough to have ‘a’ president. We either have to have the ‘worst ever’ president (Bush), or the ‘best ever’ president (Obama).
I hope Obama knows how this goes. The higher they take you the further they push you down when it turns around. If Obama does not get the economy turned around during his first 4 years (which is really not in his power), he could be the punch line of all ‘black presidents’ in the future.
Oh yeah, lets get another Obama in the WH. . . he’ll destroy the economy again. They won’t be able to blame Bush forever on their own mistakes.
Why is it okay to now say “white people suck”? I don’t remember any white commentator or pundit say “black people suck” during the recent past presidencies held by white men.

Watching the way people react to Obama, I’m reminded of the fact that most people who exist today, at some point in their past, had ancestors who were, for lack of a better word, “rabble”, whose defining characteristic is their need of a “shephard”. This applies across races.
It’s the same as the way the Left is sympathetic to Islam. I think Islam is an evil system of thought because I want to live my life as a free man, not under the code of a desert pirate from 1400 years ago, but it does provide a strict code for everything in life, taking all of what Sartre used to call the “burden of freedom” away from the individual.

Clearly he inspires people (to gush drivel in this particular case) but why?
What need does Mr Obama satisfy in his admirers, except perhaps the need to give adoration to something bigger than themselves? And if that is the need he satisfies, why? Why would anybody choose to direct their worshipful adoration towards this man instead of towards somebody who had actually accomplished something great or noble?

That passage jumped out at me too. The way I read it, he doesn’t actually have to do anything other than just be there. He should have no expectations on him except to be who he is. This has gone so far beyond farce, I think we’ve crossed into mass media delusion. It would be funny if they weren’t so damn serious about it.

The thing I have always loved about America is that any one from any where can come here, study, take the citizenship test and then the oath and they are an American. It makes no difference where they come from, or their race, they are an American.
There are people living in Japan whose ancestors were Korean. Even though they have lived in Japan for centuries, they are not considered “real” Japanese. That’s not true here.
Obama is an American, so am I, so is Michelle, so is my next door neighbor originally from Bosnia, so is the guy who worked for me who was originally from Rwanda. They are all Americans, no more and no less.

The problem is that they will never realize it because they have the intellectual capacity of a small child. Any adult that thinks it’s “cool” to have a black guy as president is mentally not an adult. There are a great many of these child-adults in power in not only this country but the world. It’s as if we have allowed the middle school student’s day as the Mayor go on forever. The world can not and will not survive children in charge but it is far to late to do anything to save it now.

J.J. Sefton on January 27, 2009 at 12:00 PM
You know, the “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” thing occurred to me around the time of the election, when I talked to a friend long distance for the first time in a while, and discovered that she had become a “pod person.”
It’s interesting to me now that so many people have made the same metaphorical connection.
I suggest that it is long past time for The One to step up and make an impassioned speech putting a stop to this worship and sense of superiority.
Why would he? He likes it and wants it. Since his trip overseas, I’ve had him pegged as someone who wants to be King of the World.

That passage jumped out at me too. The way I read it, he doesn’t actually have to do anything other than just be there. He should have no expectations on him except to be who he is. This has gone so far beyond farce, I think we’ve crossed into mass media delusion. It would be funny if they weren’t so damn serious about it.

What an insulting thing to say.

The thing I have always loved about America is that any one from any where can come here, study, take the citizenship test and then the oath and they are an American. It makes no difference where they come from, or their race, they are an American.
There are people living in Japan whose ancestors were Korean. Even though they have lived in Japan for centuries, they are not considered “real” Japanese. That’s not true here.
Obama is an American, so am I, so is Michelle, so is my next door neighbor originally from Bosnia, so is the guy who worked for me who was originally from Rwanda. They are all Americans, no more and no less.

It’s verbal prostate maintenance. It makes ignorant plebs feeeel good to talk hifalutin nonsense. The irony is that his own believers are adding to the height he has to crash from.

The problem is that they will never realize it because they have the intellectual capacity of a small child. Any adult that thinks it’s “cool” to have a black guy as president is mentally not an adult. There are a great many of these child-adults in power in not only this country but the world. It’s as if we have allowed the middle school student’s day as the Mayor go on forever. The world can not and will not survive children in charge but it is far to late to do anything to save it now.

Racism is alive and well. And it wasn’t white people who have revived it to this state of being.

More and more, I feel as if I am living in the movie “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.” A majority of Americans just fell asleep and have turned into pod people.

You know, the “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” thing occurred to me around the time of the election, when I talked to a friend long distance for the first time in a while, and discovered that she had become a “pod person.”
It’s interesting to me now that so many people have made the same metaphorical connection.
Why would he? He likes it and wants it. Since his trip overseas, I’ve had him pegged as someone who wants to be King of the World.
