The Obama Delusion

What strikes me most about your article, Mr Samuelson, is not the supposed delusion of My Obama, but your own delusion.
Like my Obama's life story, what is going on today is REAL and not even people like you can stop it.

Yep, a country full of delusional adults behaving like a "bizarre cult" over Obama: landslide majorities of voters; major newspapers; experienced superdelegates. Robert Samuelson obviously has an agenda here. Otherwise, why include distortions such as the one about plagiarism? The plagiarism accusation was related to Obama's use of lines given to him by his supporter, Governor Patrick, not to similarities between Obama's positions and Hillary's. They're both Democrats, and Obama's voting record is consistent with his expressed positions on the issues. Hillary's is not.

Yes this is the best description of what Mr. Barack Hussain Obama really is: a copy machine with no real. solid, product.

At least Kennedy was a womanizer? Obama is an obomanizer. Instead of Marilyn Monroe and the big silver screen, he's got Larry Sinclair and youtube. LOL!

Sorry, I typoed, it is Jeremiah Wright and his version of black-centric separatist Christianity. Look it up. Most American's just want to hear feel-good talk, and close their eyes to reality. Obama let's everyone of the hook, swaying to kumbaya, and feeling hip and cool.

2nd Peter 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness

To find out what Obama believes research Jedediah Wright, his pastor for over 20 years. This guy is an anti-Semitic, Louis Farrakhan booster. For those who don't know, Louis Farrakhan is the head of the Nation of Islam, a Black Muslim group that seeks to overthrow the U.S.A. and impose their version of Islam upon America. Amos 3:3 says: Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Since Obama obviously adores his pastor, and has sat under his preaching for over 20 years, and was married by him, had his two daughters baptized by him, and is a member of his church. Just find out what Jedediah Wright thinks and you got a bead on Barack's true thinking.

Speaking of JFK, he proposed LESS taxes in order to stimulate the economy. Obama want's more.
Also, Kennedy was a womanizer who cheated on his wife every chance he got. And let's not forget Vietnam...

Do you really want to keep comparing Obama to Kennedy?

Finally, a journalist with guts to speak the truth about Obama's shortcomings!

Obama would pass out from exhaustion if he ever mustered up an original idea. He has developed a masterful stage presence, and that's certainly necessary for a president, but he has yet to develop and communicate a cogent strategy for the nation, other than the same old stuff. We need a president with a firm domestic vision, a sound foriegn policy that respects other nations' sovereignty, and the fortitude and political skills to see it to fruition. That's not Obama, Clinton, McCain, or Huckabee. Once again the American voter is left settling for the least onerous candidate, rather than the best qualified or most capable.

Obama is a person full of hate during his campain. I feel in his deepest heart there is a kind of feeling that is against traditional and modern American value. I am a foreigner. I tell American, be carefull about this dangerous person.

I think that this article is off base, assuming that peope are just hearing and not listening. I would assume that most of your comments are from that tired old generation who never questions why we have a crisis in our economy, energy policies, transportation, housing, military, foreign affairs, and the war on terrorism, may I go on. So it seem that the experience from these "old scholl" politicians will lead us down the same path. A leader is supposed to inspire his country (i.e. Kennedy), not espoused that same old tired rhetoric. John McClain nor Hillary Clinton can draw out the masses of the new generation that will have to lead our country forward. If you want the status quo, go with experience. If you want to move this country forward in the new century, pick a leader who will inspire you.

Finally, an article that probes deeper than Obama's "halleluia" speeches. Speeches and rhetoric alone do not constitute a even-partially-workable means to help some of the crises in America today, like taxes, retirement, classrooms and education, the war, jobs disappearing overseas, the economy in jeopardy, to name just a few. Obama has not in reality brought forth workable plans and unique ideas to solve these very serious problems. He says "change" but how? I think Washington very definitely needs to change, but again, tell me how Obama is planning to do that in a way that does not already strain the economy to the breaking point? Most of his ideas actually DO mirror the status-quo, or are so similar in content to those already being forwarded by others already in Congress, or those running for office.

I am not an anit-Obama voter, nor Hillary-lover, nor a Republican, although McCain has done well in some ways with his time in Congress. I have serious concerns, and disagree with some of their voting, with ALL of the major candidates, but it is to the benefit for each individual to REALLY, DEEPLY look at the whole package (voting record, temperment, skill, individual ideas and programs, etc) and not just personality to choose a candidate to endorse. I admit Obama is uplifting in his speeches, but is his plans able to stand and help America for 4 years? Look deeper, because personality and charisma won't cut it when hard, difficult decision have to be made. Charisma fades when facts are to be faced and America is in a place and time where it is not easy decisions and riding a cloud of idealism. Status quo in Washington does need to change, I agree, but sometimes hard cold reality interferes, and change takes baby steps, but it in the right direction.

Some will get all outraged and call me anti-Obama, or not for change, or whatever. For those who do, tell me this -- write down the way that these candidates will ACTUALLY make change happen, in a way that is realistic, not status quo, not parroting another's ideas, and that will actually be possible in today's Congress. Tell me HOW. Ideals are great-- I believe in ideals-- it gives us hope and something to hold onto-- but America is in dire need of experience for the many facets of problems that are facing each one of us in this desperate time where the economy and the earth itself is changing exponentially. Ideals will not keep America strong, and keep the lower-middle-American man/woman working. And listening to ideal speeches and not probing deeper just might put another Republican, and quite possibly the special interests, back in for another 4 years. Talk about staus quo..... and where will we be then?
