Comments on: Obama, Bush, and the pronoun “I” https://thenewneo.com/2011/05/09/obama-bush-and-the-pronoun-i/ A blog about political change, among other things Wed, 11 May 2011 17:42:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.2 By: Ymarsakar https://thenewneo.com/2011/05/09/obama-bush-and-the-pronoun-i/#comment-245626 Wed, 11 May 2011 17:42:08 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/2011/05/09/obama-bush-and-the-pronoun-i/#comment-245626 People always believe nothing bad will happen to them personally. And through this self-delusion, makes disaster a self-fulfilling prophecy. Such is mortal folly.

Another 30% still lives in make believe land.

Sometimes I wonder if we are referring to the same person. Obama’s circle of friends, his foreign affairs naivete, his obvious emotional problems, his anti-democratic attitudes, the malignant incompetence, his anti-Americanism all get a pass. I think I understand Nazi Germany better than I did thanks to the Obama administration.

Bush wished to be president in order To Do Things. He was preceeded and succeeded by narcissists who wished to BE Things.

A vast and profound and hugely historical difference.

I agree about their role models.

Bush’s mother is a solid, down-to-earth woman who has always acted responsibly. Obama’s mother was a selfish hippie who shuttled him off to be raised by others.

Bush’s father wasn’t perfect but he did truly believe in the concept of noblesse oblige (for example he volunteered to serve in the Navy as the youngest pilot when his family connections could easily have kept him out of the war).

Obama’s father was nothing more than a sperm donor.

texexec, Bush also had better role models (my try for the understatement of all time).

Obama doesn’t.

That explains a lot of things.

I believe in my heart that his positions are my positions (whatever they are) and I love him and myself to the core of my/his being.

He would do what I would do and I would do what he would do.

Grammar be dammed – I am king! He is king!

I am who am.

my opinion is that
I love the man and
I love myself and
I think he is great for the country and
I know a lot about economics and budgets and science and I know alot about this and that and
I think that Obama knows that I know that I am (I mean he is) great. 🙂
