This will end in tears. The Obama hysteria is not merely embarrassing to witness, it is itself contributory to the scale of the disaster that is coming. What we are experiencing, in the deepening days of a global depression, is the desperate suspension of disbelief by people of intelligence - la trahison des clercs - in a pathetic effort to hypnotise themselves into the delusion that it will be all right on the night. It will not be all right.
Can't say I disagree. And it is always interesting to read the comments.
President Obama is great at oratory - but when you analyse his speeches you can remove 99% as being meaningless.
He 'sold the sizzle' - but what is inside the sausage?

Weejonnie, the Obamatrons never miss a chance to remind us all how very smart their Messiah is. But as we all know, the sausages are filled with the same old greasy (government) pork filling.

One great difference between Blair and Obama (and by extension the liberal-left in GB and the liberal-left of America) is that Blair's ticket in '97 was based on an intense dislike of the Great Britain that had existed pre year zero.
Blair didn't particularly like the country, its people, its history or its culture - his politics was based on discarding the past wholesale, and changing the nation as rapidly and radically as he could get away with.
Obama, in common with every single American on either side of the political spectrum, is a fierce patriot who loves the United States of America, its history and its culture.
I'm not saying that in itself will lead to the promised land, but I don't believe the two approach their task for the same reasons.

xxcorectxx, Considering O'Bambi wrote 2 books about himself and 0 books about Patriotism, I'd say he thinks more of himself.
