He’ll be a pariah to the dems. I’m betting on Secretary General of the UN. But hey, Hugo Chavez should be keeping Saddam company soon and his spot will be open.

Only then will he proceed to blame Clinton, the media, the racists, and so on.

The logical dissonance is quintessential Obama.

Yes, I knew you were quoting Simon, but you still typed a-s-s-h-o-l-e. I have no complaints, it just startled me into adjusting my mental picture of prim and proper neo-neocon behind the apple. (Not the slightest insult intended.)

BTW, you maintain a wonderful blog. You present a wide variety of topics to ponder, you are tolerant and attentive of those who post comments, and you put forth a keen and insightful analysis of the topics that affect us all. Long may you run.

Based upon your Magritte photo and your general firm, level headed posts and usually patient comments; I never imagined neo-neocon using the term asshole. But, hey, more power to you. 😉

But, I think the “this messy thing called politics” is messy precisely because of people like Obama and the messy way in which they fight for power.

But so is that “never been proud of my country” line, too. I guess they’re two peas in the same arrogant pod.

I would hope they would show at least half the class that President Bush did on his way out of office but I’m not sure I’m willing to bet my hard earned money on it.

I also think that, if Obama loses, an armed guard needs to be placed on the R keys of all the computer keyboards in the White House.

“in certain environments he’ll still be fawned over (think, Davos)”

Yes, I guess we’ll still be subject to that for the next 30 years, even if he is soundly defeated.

“The Detroit Free Press”

For what its worth, the reports I saw said it was the Detroit News that endorsed him. I don’t know the significance of the difference, since I don’t know much about either paper.

I’ve been around a long time, and I’ve never heard any candidate (or candidate’s wife) say anything remotely similar.

Running for office is a privilege, not something you “deign” to do.

If I’m not mistaken, you’re a Brit who came to this country? Do I recall that correctly? If so, maybe the “deign” part doesn’t ring as falsely to you; perhaps it’s a tone thing. But it sure rings falsely (and very obnoxiously) to me.

She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin’ for a Showdown

Bad dreamer, what’s your name
Looks like we’re ridin’ on the same train
Looks as through there’ll be more pain
There’s gonna be a Showdown

And it’s rainin’ all over the world
It’s raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

She came to me like a friend
She blew in on a southern wind
Now my heart is turned to stone again
There’s gonna be a Showdown

Save me, oh save me
It’s unreal, the suffering
There’s gonna be a Showdown

And it’s rainin’ all over the world
It’s raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night
