Baroque Hubris Obama, Prom Queen For Nothing

The regal sense of arrogance parted the waters of the Middle East and Europe leaving in its wake, nothing. Nothing was filled with empty phrases that looked good on paper, but meant nothing. There is nothing that Obama can't do including wrong and he looks as if there is nothing to it.

It has gotten so bad that even the media seems to be getting it. That says something.

President Obama Continues Hectic Victory Tour
Barack Obama has long been his party's presumptive nominee. Now he's becoming its presumptuous nominee.

Fresh from his presidential-style world tour, during which foreign leaders and American generals lined up to show him affection, Obama settled down to some presidential-style business in Washington yesterday. He ordered up a teleconference with the (current president's) Treasury secretary, granted an audience to the Pakistani prime minister and had his staff arrange for the chairman of the Federal Reserve to give him a briefing. Then, he went up to Capitol Hill to be adored by House Democrats in a presidential-style pep rally.

Along the way, he traveled in a bubble more insulating than the actual president's. Traffic was shut down for him as he zoomed about town in a long, presidential-style motorcade, while the public and most of the press were kept in the dark about his activities, which included a fundraiser at the Mayflower where donors paid $10,000 or more to have photos taken with him.

Obama brings nothing to the Presidency. Except arrogance, way too much pride and a vision of government that Marx would love like nothing else.
