Professor Obama the ego maniac
He still believes he is the only one who can fix things. the only person who can lead. He thinks that by accepting responsibility that makes it all better.
This is the academic vs the pragmatist, something that was criticized during the election, but not enough. His promises were unreal. His policy strategy risky at best. but it all sounded very intelligent, very academic, very idealistic.
Remember talking to Iran, sounds good on paper, been there tried that for 30 years which is why we aren't talking anymore.
Healthcare defeat is becuase we didn't explain it well enough... its still right for you and you'll agree with me when you understand it like I do... (ego maniac)
The election defeats in NJ, Virginia and Mass are not about me, healthcare or democrats; just bad candidates.
A random from the radio this morning had a montage of Obama referring to himself at a town hall on jobs in ohio, referred to himself like 132 times. Again somethign that wasn't criticized enough during the election by anyone other than Rush Limbaugh. Obama has too much emphasis on himself and not enough on the american people. he thinks he is the solution. Some democrats in congress were bristled, particularly pelosi, during the election about all these promises (like the CSPAN thing) that they had no intention of doing. His ego centric leadership reminds me a lot of the approach nancy takes in the house where she is reviled.

Re: Professor Obama the ego maniac
It was my understanding that the teleprompters were used to address the press at the school.
Still, this president relies way too much on the words of others, and not enough on deeds of his own responsibility to lead.
Either that, or, like Bush, he has trouble speaking but acknowledges it and uses teleprompters to make up for his shortcomings.
OR, he really is someone's puppet.

OMG sarah palin wrote crib notes on her hand. i think its pretty funny CBS thinks this is a story, but Obama's ubiquitous use of teleprompters is fine. Sarah casts herself as the average person, the average person who has scribbled a note on their hand. Bush supposedly got elected because he was someone you'd want to have a beer with. Obama and Democrats stoked this populist fire; I think they are going to regret paving the way for a real commoner to usurp their rule.

Apparently Alec Baldwin else sees the samething I do.
"She reads her palm in order to send a message to her anti-Eastern establishment, Obama-hating, OK-You've-Had-Your-Black-President-Experiment, Tea Party types. That message is, "I'm just one person, doing the best I can with what God gave me. Like all y'all out there."
And it was aimed right at that camera. Right at you and me. "

I see its not that obama is an ego maniac. Its that he's a liberal.
But American liberals, to a degree far surpassing conservatives, appear committed to the proposition that their views are correct, self-evident, and based on fact and reason, while conservative positions are not just wrong but illegitimate, ideological and unworthy of serious consideration.
...
The first is the "vast right-wing conspiracy," a narrative made famous by Hillary Rodham Clinton but hardly limited to her. This vision maintains that conservatives win elections and policy debates not because they triumph in the open battle of ideas but because they deploy brilliant and sinister campaign tactics.

Is this where I quote Teflor refusing to provide any evidence for his argument because it should be as self-evident as "the sky is blue?"
and based on fact and reason
Is this where I point out that when confronted by a fact like "Condoms reduce the risk of STD transmission" Kiryan will argue that it violates his ideology?
Sorry man, but face it.. when we present you with facts you dispute them with ideological claims.
, while conservative positions are not just wrong but illegitimate, ideological and unworthy of serious consideration.
Well, yes. When we link to studies showing measurable effects of X and YOU state that X shouldn't happen because it violates your belief... that's exactly what you are doing.

thanks for further demonstrating the point of the article.
Re: Professor Obama the ego maniac
If I were less lazy I could find the quotes. But don't worry, I don't feel like threatening your belief system right now.

Another article speculating that writing crib notes for her palm was a move to cast herself as a common populist vs the academic elite. I love how she points out how Gibbs mocking her plays right into her narrative. and then I'll tie it back to the article that democrats always think they lost due to sinister complicated unbeatable republican strategies instead of facing the truth that we don't want what you are selling.

Re: Professor Obama the ego maniac
I remember reading a story about Palin going into walmart to buy diapers when she was on the campaign trail with McCain. The hand writing incident falls right inline with this attempt to portray herself as a populist, as a common joe.
Its obviously intentional and calculated to send a message even if she feels very strongly that its her nature. I believe she believes it was the right thing for her to do, but when you are in a tough presidential race, you don't waste your time going to walmart even if it is your resposnibility. You delegate to someone who can do that for you because you have more important things to do that only you can.

Re: Professor Obama the ego maniac
I agree. It's rather pathetic, but then again, they are all politicians.
Either that, or she gets 'going to walmart' cravings like I do.

Avak, do you want to talk about fear mongering? Let's talk about what the white house has to say about healthcare, banks and 3.3% profit margins at insurance companies.
