A righteous wind?
Borrowed from a blog:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Entering the electrifying campaign's final weekend, Obama Saturday promised a "new politics for a new time" and said he had a "righteous wind" at his back as he pursues his quest to become the first black US president. Wow, Sowell was right in his article called Ego and Mouth. http://townhall.com/columnists/Thoma.../ego_and_mouth Snippets: After the big gamble on subprime mortgages that led to the current financial crisis, is there going to be an even bigger gamble, by putting the fate of a nation in the hands of a man whose only qualifications are ego and mouth? Barack Obama has the kind of cocksure confidence that can only be achieved by not achieving anything else. The kind of self-righteous self-confidence that has become Obama's trademark is usually found in sophomores in Ivy League colleges-- very bright and articulate students, utterly untempered by experience in real world. The signs of Barack Obama's self-centered immaturity are painfully obvious, though ignored by true believers who have poured their hopes into him, and by the media who just want the symbolism and the ideology that Obama represents. The triumphal tour of world capitals and photo-op meetings with world leaders by someone who, after all, was still merely a candidate, is just one sign of this self-centered immaturity. And now BO is claiming he has a righteous wind at his back? Oh sheesh. Some hard hitting common sense: For someone who has actually accomplished nothing to blithely talk about taking away what has been earned by those who have accomplished something, and give it to whomever he chooses in the name of "spreading the wealth," is the kind of casual arrogance that has led to many economic catastrophes in many countries. The equally casual ease with which Barack Obama has talked about appointing judges on the basis of their empathies with various segments of the population makes a mockery of the very concept of law. Some common sense laid out by someone who isn't afraid to tell it like it is. |

Some common sense laid out by someone who isn't afraid to tell it like it is. I think you put it quite correctly. Ever time Obama paused you could tell he was thinking of what the people wanted to hear. Never really learned Obama's agenda, just the talk of what people wanted to hear. Money for nothing and the black knight will save you rhetoric. But I suspect looking at the polls he is going to win, there are enough that get sucked in to rhetoric like this. Thus, might as well factor in that he will win. Once the election is over we might learn more about Obama's real agenda. And I suspect many will not like it. I suspect the Wednesday market opener is going to be very gloomy. Set your limit orders real low. |

I wonder if he has tried Beano? |
