“…will a man with a messianic complex … intensify his efforts at tyranny? On second thought, is that even possible?”

We can hope that the ego, the arrogance, and the cocksure philosophy that comprise this syndrome make it impossible for him to do otherwise. I predict that as failures mount, a Clintonesque deflection mechanism will aid in blindness to reality, along with increasingly transparent efforts to propagandize the masses to join in the mass hysteria.

I encourage the left to continue dancing in the end zone over their victory, and try to pass every socialist, feel-good, do-good piece of dung they can possibly foist on the country, just as fast as they possibly can.

Hopefully, they will ramp up the grand delusion scheme past the point of absurdity, and we can watch a succession of Big Lies fall one by one into the pit of ignominy where they belong.

Just as a child must touch a hot stove for himself before he really understands your warnings, it appears an indoctrinated public must experience a fall into misery before its members can be bothered to kill the tapeworm that is eating out our sustenance.

Might as well make it stick for awhile next time.

I think we’re doomed. Buy gold.

Buy lead.

Maybe ” All Hype Hussein ” is not quite ready to fill the shoes he has been given ?

If the media were doing its job, someone would have figured out how much money this embarrassing couple spent lobbying to host a what amounts to a glorified track meet. But that would call into question our great overlord. We can’t have that!

“Vulgar” is a perfect description of what the first family is exhibiting every day. The arrogance is jaw-dropping.

One would think running several wars, a quasi-police state, and nationalization of entire industries would keep Obama busy. No, the Great Leader must grace us with his wisdom on all matters, large and small. What a hoot.

Does Barack have any clue as to how ridiculous he looks? Is he really that oblivious? Can this country survive another 3+ years of this nonsense?

I think we’re doomed. Buy gold.

I also wondered who paid the bills for Obama’s extraconstitutional lobbying.

The Olympics have reeked of arrogance and hypocrisy from the beginning. What also strikes me is when people talk about how many medals “we” won – well, unless you were actually participating, you didn’t win any. I fail to see why people’s property should be confiscated via eminent domain and via taxes to pay for collectivist “nationalistic” dreams of glory.

Like many of those in the founding generation, I have never liked traces of royalism or the cult of leader-worship that our Big Man revels in (as did Bush II). I miss the true greatness that was Gerald Ford.

My condolences to the taxpayers and property owners of Brazil.

Considering our dire economic straits and the losing proposition (financially) the turgid Olympics have become, Chicago is a winner – twice over. Its citizens are spared the cost and its corrupt politicians are denied an opportunity for Olympian sized graft.

Detroit would seem to be a natural for the Olympics. Plenty of open space if some of the abandoned housing was torn down. The theme could be “The Wonders of Fractional Reserve Banking” with the remaining abandoned housing as exhibits.

New games, such as modern urban street fighting could be created. The possibilities seem endless.

Yes, I’m sure that the Europeans have begun to see through BHO and his egotism, but also, there is no near-guarantee that a very good candidate U. S. city is going to be selected, unlike the situation of the past. We are no longer the global superpower; we squandered much of what we had; and we are a huge debtor nation.

Too bad, though: Chicago would have been a great venue. The fact that it didn’t even make the finals is telling.
