It doesn’t matter who said what. Nothing he does is spontaneous - it’s all perfectly choreographed and telepromptered. He knew. And it’s clear the reason.
Updated to go with the new poll where the obamessiah outranks actual people that exist or have existed. I cannot believe folks fell/still are falling for this crap.
November 21, 2008
Messiah complex: a state in which the individual believes themselves to be or destined to become - the savior of the particular field, a group, an event, a time period, or in an extreme scenario, the world.
OBAMESSIAH: "I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal!!!
Messiah complex:This could also be the state in which a group views an individual as a messiah, such as followers of a cult leader. The cult leader doesn't have to claim to be a messiah, but if he is treated as such by his followers, it can also be classified as such.
Chris Matthews: "this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama's speech. My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don't have that too often. No, seriously. It's a dramatic event."
Ezra Klein: "He is not the Word made flesh, but the triumph of word over flesh"
Oprah Winfrey: "We're here to evolve to a higher plane"
Dinesh Sharma: "Many even see in Obama a messiah-like figure, a great soul, and some affectionately call him Mahatma Obama."
Spike Lee: "You'll have to measure time by `Before Obama' and `After Obama' & "Everything's going to be affected by this seismic change in the universe."
Mark Halerperin: [The obamerized press have a] "hidden desire to see [obamessiah's] face etched in stain glass and on Mt. Rushmore simultaneously.
Messiah complex:People with a messiah complex tend to see themselves as saviors to a specific group of people or a specific field, making claims of their own glory, or claiming a self-awareness of their own gift and how that gift can affect a group of people or a field of life.
OBAMESSIAH: "We've got a righteous wind at our backs!"
OBAMESSIAH:"... a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany ... and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Obama"
Messiah complex:In the most extreme cases, people with a messiah complex may see themselves as spiritual/religious messiahs with transcendent powers who are destined to save the world.
OBAMESSIAH: "We are the ones we've been waiting for."
OBAMESSIAH: "We are the change that we seek!"
OBAMESSIAH: "...this is our moment. If you will organize with me, if you fight with me... we willchange this country and we will CHANGE THE WORLD!"
This makes me angry. barry keeps comparing and modeling himself after President Abraham Lincoln, who was a man of character, conviction and great deeds. Someone who made his own decisions, acted on his words and stood by them. barry has done none of the sort. He imagines himself the second coming of Lincoln only barry is bringing The American People one step closer to a More Perfect Union through his postracial, post partisan propaganda. barry was not a great Illinois senator. He was not a great US Senator and yet he is going to be a great president?
What, folks, do you base this on? Benefit of the doubt?
barry’s attempt at Lincoln:
1-Announced his presidential bid on the steps of the State Capitol in Springfield.
2-He returned to announce his VP pick.
3-Team of rivals BS.
4-He plans to take the train from Philly to Washington before his swearing in. How else was Lincoln going to get there? Official campaign jet replete with campaign logo?
5-And will be sworn in on the Bible Lincoln was.
For $500, will he be outfitted in a top hat? Even it couldn’t house his massive ego. How is this man ever going to govern?
During his stumping he stopped at every historic presidential place he could - including his Philly Whistle Stop tour and his going to Indianapolis on the anniversary of MLK’s assassination. He’s making the movie version live. It’s presumptious and grossly messianic - just like everything else - and the proobamedia loves it. He was foiled only in Germany when they refused to let him speak at the wall.
Yesterday barry was hung up on by a non-obamerized. Blasphemy! He called Rep Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (FL-R) to congratulate her on her reelection and she hung up thinking it was a radio station prank. Smart lady.
ROS-LEHTINEN: Boy, you're a much better impersonator than that guy on "Saturday Night Live,"' and he's laughing and he's thinking I'm kidding."
BARRY: How can I prove it to you?
He couldn't. Then first lieutenant Rahm Emanuel (who she knows) called.
EMANUEL: You know, you just hung up on the next president of the United States.
ROS-LEHTINEN: I said I really do appreciate it. I love these pranks more than anybody and I'm honored that you would prank me, but I'm gonna hang up.
She did. Call #3 was from Howard Berman, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs, who she made repeat an inside joke to prove his identity.
ROS-LEHTINEN to Berman: I know this sounds very presumptuous, but please tell President-elect Obama that Ileana is ready to receive his call now.
Priceless! And when he did she asked if he had run out of people to call. In other words - what do you want? Advice on Cuba?
BARRY: Look, when my ego gets too big, Michelle is going to remind me often that the congresswoman from South Florida hung up on me not once - but twice.
How much bigger does it have to get to be too big?
BARRY: Believe me, I will never forget you know now. Everybody around me is laughing. I've called a lot of people - nobody's hung up once. And certainly no one has hung up on me twice.
Bet a lot of those people around him have been waiting a very long to laugh at him to his face. And then came the predictable irrational obamessiah outrage - angry constituents called to accuse her of hanging up on him on purpose. Wonder why they thought that. And what if she had? She is a Republican and clearly not under his spell. Recorded radio call courtesy of Politicalglotz "Elvis Duran and the Morning Show Phone Tap"
Freud would have had a riot with this election season. If the bizarre mancrush and non-saluting messianic chanting didn't strike his fancy, Bob Herbert's phallic preoccupation and Tucker Carlson's ever-present castration anxiety most assuredly would have.
November 25, 2008 Is barry not able to speak without a blue sign in front of him? Office of the President-Elect? Which presidential seal is it? And can we please stop hearing Wall Street & Main Street? His economic team. Notice they each stand in front of their own flag and how the camera stays on barry as he introduces them. Larry Summers looks medically ill. Christina Romer has that glaze in her eyes. Timothy Geithner looks ready to go and Melody Barnes has the glaze but looks frightened. Watch how barry falters when he gets to Romer. He has trouble saying "macroeconomics". He needed two women of to different demographics to offset Larry, who thinks women are inherently defective and unable to understand math and science. And it seems he did not have a particularly fond relationship with the black community. Thus the two women. He at least got fired - Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Jack Cafferty, Glenn Beck, David Gergen, Alex Castellanos weren't.
When was the last time Joe Biden was allowed to speak?
UPDATE: Ran across this on barry's transition website. Pretty transparent as to why it was included. Have to say they cover their bases even if they don't mean a word of it.
Promoting Women in Math and Science: Women constitute 45 percent of the workforce in the U.S., but hold just 12 percent of science and engineering jobs in business and industry. Women also make up just 9 percent of the recipients of engineering-related bachelor's degrees. Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe that every student should have equal access to education in math, science, and technology in order to compete on a global scale.
And the percentage of women in politics? As president?
Here's Evan Thomas saying that he didn't feel the neediness of Obama on the campaign trail. Does it get any more unenlightened? Obamerism at it's most well-conditioned.
THOMAS: Obama is extraordinarily contained. Most candidates you can feel their neediness -- give me the love, give me the love." (Hands drawing to self. Me. Me. Me.)
barry already had it because you were providing it. What kind of journalistic skills does this man have? He clearly doesn't have any people or body language skills. I used to wonder about folks who get drawn into Nigerian internet and pyramid schemes and cults. Not any longer.
THOMAS: Not with Obama. (He puts his hands over his chest in a pulling in protective fashion. You're not worthy of me.) There was much more self-contained. That he's controlled. It's kind of manipulative and a little cold in a way. It was hard to penetrate his tremendous self-possession. (= EGO = Messiah Complex)
DARIN BRISCOE: ...There's a lot that remains mysterious about him to me. He's a very difficult person to know well....He had to learn, sorta on the fly, that any misstatement he makes anything that he says that could be misconstrued in a negative way was likely to be construed that way by someone.
Where? In their notebooks? And after almost two years spent with this man--every day--a lot is still mysterious to him? And yet those bitter bowling alley babes were to trust barry because they heard him saying nothing at a rally? None of the pro-obama media have a clue who barry is because they've crafted his persona for him. And they don't have a clue what he's gonna do because he's done nothing but string them along and they followed happily like little sheep.
THOMAS: He didn't give us a whole lot to work with ("more" hand motion) in a way, generalistically. Uhh, (head down, smacks lips = doubt), you know, what's that going to be like when he's president? Well...he'll stay cool...I think...(Doubtful face). Which is an admirable and necessary quality in presidents (Voice changes - trying to justify.) Presumably, his White House will be less chaotic than Bill Clinton's was. (Eyebrows up = facial shrug = Not sure and hoping he's right.)
He is still saying I think..presumably...after they have been following him and writing about him in glowing knowledgeable terms since the beginning. Who believes these people? He's starting to doubt himself. But it's too late. The damage has been done and they are going to be held accountable for what happens...more likely what doesn't happen.
THOMAS: The American People are gonna also want to see a human side to him. And they are willing to cut him a lot of slack in the election 'cuz he had this message of hope and because McCain wasn't so great and they wanted change.
Said dismissively - like I fell for it too. I think he has finally realized how he was played. Curious how he phrased that. McCain wasn't so good and so they voted for barry and are willing to give him a break because what other option have they?
THOMAS: But, uh, they're also gonna want to see a real human being inside of obama and he's gonna have to find ways to show that...I think. (Puts head down. Guilty he hasn't seen it.) Uh, and in somebody who's that self contained (shaking his head = he was fooled) it's really hard to know what they are thinking (still shaking) and where they're really going. And (deep frowning = personal worry) I think there's still some question about that. (Nods = certain ending)
Now he has questions and doubt? Will he ever feel remorse of guilt in his complicity in promoting pro-obama propaganda? He got barry the win and now he has to cover himself as a citizen and editor for what he doesn't know about barry. It's good to connect the face with the words. His face gives him away...as do howie's and jonjon's and barry's. barry's convinced that his obamerized masses will follow him no matter what he says and they have...still are. Those of us rational beings see right through his empty words and we are still waiting for you to see the light instead of a halo.
What are all the obamerized going to do? They must have massive obamessiah withdrawal. Lee Cowan is going to need therapy. Joe Klein is creepy to begin with but he looked positively delirious this morning saying that the Taliban wants to negotiate with barry!! Brian Williams actually tried to say he was neutral. I didn't hear what Brokaw said. Mika conceded that things happened to barry's opponents that might not have been right. Tucker - surprise of all - said he was still upset at what was done to Senator Clinton. This a man who crosses his legs when he sees or hears her. He does it with Nancy Grace too. He didn't seem to mind piling on at the time.
Rep John Lewis' face speaks volumes. As did Rev Jesse Jackson's.
November 4, 2008 Why has the pro-obama media bias been allowed to go unchecked? Because they want a black candidate to win and the female candidate to lose. Period. They want to be part of it. They have been part of it. They've created bias that allowed him to be nominated. Whether he could have done it all by himself will ever be known because he didn't do it alone. He had help from everywhere. The pro-obama media need to at least acknowledge what they did if only after the Inauguration. Admit to The American People that they knew what they were doing was against the spirit (and laws) of America. The land where we are to be free of systemic propaganda - we haven't. And free of worry that the propaganda might continue and perhaps worsen when a self-proclaimed obamessiah ascends - literally - to power. I guess we wait and watch. They will never admit to all of their mistakes. They will never admit that without them barry wouldn't have been the nominee. But they need to admit on camera that they were not as "objective" as they might have been. Regret or apology will not be part of it. Not even in their books to come where they congratulate themselves for being impartial.

BARRY:...The premise of this candidacy. And 21 months later my faith in the American People has been vindicated." (mixed crowd reaction)
Wait no more my faithful flock - my wife is proud of her country for the first time in her adult life and my presidency restores my faith in American. We are patriots now that we will be living in the White House. And you failed my my cult followers I would still have no faith in the American people. How much more arrogant and entitled does it get?
Messiah Complex as in: "We are the ones we've been waiting for!"
October 31st CBS News'JOHN BENTLEY In Iowa. “On the day of the Iowa caucus, my faith in the American people was vindicated and what you started here in Iowa has swept the nation.
MCCAIN's counter: I’ve been humbled and honored to have the great opportunity to serve this nation, the greatest nation in the world and defend its freedom and I’ll do that until my last breath.
Bill Burton: It’s pathetic that John McCain would take a statement Barack Obama has been making for a year about his faith in the American people and distort it to attack his patriotism.
Expected: “Sadly, this is what we’ve come to expect from a desperate, dishonorable campaign that will say anything in a failed attempt to win this election.”
Desperate and dishonorable? And what is he by saying these words about his opponent?
October 23, 2008 Richmond Virginia The Messiah preaching to his cult followers:"If you'll stand with me, then I know that we can win Virginia and we can win this election and we can finally bring the change we need to Washington. I feel like we got a righteous wind at our backs here!"

Seems Dewey beats Truman has been outdone by an Irish betting site that has already begun paying Obama bidders. In Chicago, Obama wants his victory coronation to take place in Grant Park, which is beyond crazy even for the messiah. In the dark, in a sprawling park, in the cold with people bundled in coats, no actual perimeter and complete exposure from above. How much would security cost the taxpayers? The taxes he lies about lowering. And what if something were to happen? It would be the end of the Olympic dream. Though I imagine if they pulled it off - it would be very helpful. It's never gonna happen anyway. And there was a regular old gang shooting right outside the Taste of Chicago last year. Nothing compared to the weekend in April when 39 people were either shot or stabbed in a 72 hour period with 9 dead. All while barry campaigned away. Not a peep in the national media.
Anyway what do you think will happen? Will the Messiah get what he wants? Will there be more pillars? The Brandenburg Gate? A throne? A choir of angels descending from the sky? Will the North Star be shining bright? Celine Dion is giving a concert in the United Center and he doesn't want to use Soldier Field. I'm sure he never gave thought to the patriotic significance. Why isn't McCain using the video or TIME pix of Obama standing with his hands over his parts instead of his heart during the National Anthem with the caption COMMANDER-IN CHIEF? Wright's "church" flies the Pan African flag so maybe that's why barry didn't acknowledge it. And there is no double standard? Why aren't they using wright? barry himself on national TV said it was a legitimate issue. Oh well. The Obama camp has already shelled out $2M for the celebration. I wonder if it's non-refundable. barry and axelrod have begun to (publicly) pay back the Daley Machine. What position will Mayor Daley's brother hold? Valerie Jarrett? Emil Jones? Rahm Emanuel? Daschel, the only man to lose his senate seat in half a century will be Chef of Staff.
Please enjoy this article on NRO by Ms Malkin, who reminds me of Erma Bombeck. It's riotous. Here's the first few paragraphs...follow the link to read the rest and have a few chuckles. (Emphasis mine)
September 19, 2008 Hounding Palin Obama's latest release. By Michelle Malkin:
Warning: If your neighbor's got an "Obama '08" bumper sticker or lawn sign, you might want to double-check your door locks at night. The One has commanded his Purveyors of Change to go forth and proselytize to the unbelievers. And they're not going to be knocking gently like Avon Ladies.
Barack Obama, you see, is done fixing souls. It's time to crack heads. Prodded by panicked Democrats to take off his white gloves, he issued a Call to Strong Arm to his legions of angry followers on Wednesday. Hope is out. Hellfire is in. Now, the same analysts who tut-tutted Sarah Palin's mild use of sarcasm at the GOP convention are heralding — in the words of the Obama water-carriers at the Associated Press — Obama's "feistier, more sarcastic tone" and his push for Democrat activists "to sharpen their elbows, too."
When Republicans get aggressive, it's "dirty." When Obama gets aggressive, it's "feisty." Exorteth the One: "I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face.
Team Obama is so committed to this "face-to-face" shock troop campaign that it is now busing activists from state to state ("Drive for Change!") to target undecided voters — and offering subsidies to volunteers. In advance of Obama's rally in Nevada, California field director Mary Jane Stevenson organized a pilgrimage to boost the crowd numbers with housing incentives: "Face-to-face contact with undecided voters is the single most effective way to grow this movement. No experience is required, and we'll help you make the trip as easily as possible with either housing in Nevada or discounted group rates at an area hotel."
Header at the bottom of MSNBC as Biden is speaking. "As president, Barack Obama will make your lives his life." As if. Another header. "If McCain thinks we're on the right track then that's not a train I want to be on."
Biden: "I watched the guy tap into the age old American belief that many people have forgotten and that is: you don't have to accept a situation you cannot bear - you can change it. You can change it. And change is exactly what Barack Obama and I will do as president and VP of the United States."
And the crowd starts cheering "Yes, we can! Yes we can! Yes we can!"
Biden looks unfazed not knowing when the chanting is going to stop so he can get done. Then he looks over at Obama and says: " I think I should let you go and not do the rest of this. Don't you think?"
Obama, smiling and clapping and soaking in the adoration like the messiah he (thinks he) is, nods. "Ok. That's fine."
Robotic chanting continues.
Biden: "Ladies and gentlemen--"
Obama leans over: "It's always good when there's chanting - IT SHOWS THEY LOVE ME."
Yes. No joke. Right out of the Messiah's own lips - live on camera and on tape. I knew he was an egomaniac - but that's insane. I guess that's what he was thinking all along but never had anyone on stage with him. He had to make sure Biden knew the chanting wasn't for him.
Biden to Obama: "That's right. That's right." Like he's heard it before or it wasn't worth listening to or he decided he needed a little loving too. He smiles and then looks down at his speech and says to the crowd: "You can!"
More robotic chanting and waving of signs.
Obama looks on clapping and smiling.
But for Biden, time's a wasting. "One thing I want to mention to you. I want to get straight something here..." Putting up his arms like a priest giving a homily to shut up the crowd as Obama looks on smiling. "I supposedly, you know, I supposedly know something about foreign policy. I love these guys who all of a sudden call me this big expert..." And then launches into the rest of the speech.
Barry looks down pissed off. It's another four minutes before Biden cedes the microphone. Absolutely hysterical. I really love Biden. I don't know how much cerebral work is needed in the vice-presidency, but I wouldn't want to sit down at a table with him and try to negotiate.
Obama taps the mic and then launches into whatever he pretends to say while his mind is saying, they love me, they love me, they love me.... (2:00) MSNBC article
barry's note from the Wailing Wall that just "happened" to be released to the press. haha are we morons? barry made sure he wrote on hotel stationery so they'd be sure to find it. does he write anything that isn't on barry paper with the barry logo with a barry pen? he just stopped short of signing it because that would look too obvious even for him.
Lord, Protect my family and me. Forgive me my sins and help me guard against pride and despair. Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will.
why didn't he just write out a psalm or St Francis' prayer? ever heard him get to the point like that? ever heard him say the word "Lord"?
