It would be easy to get carried away with the presidential campaign of Barack Obama, mainly because he's such an easy guy to like?But a lot of what is on display at Obama rallies and rhetoric is how much Obama and his supporters seem to like themselves.
Take Obama's word for it when "we are the change we've been waiting for."
For starters, what does it mean? Hard to tell. But it's really clear what it reflects - self-adulation on the part of all concerned.
New York Times columnist William Kristol reflects on this phenomenon of self-love in his latest column.

Hey BillD,
How can you think that ANY "journalist" that writes articles/opinions for the New York Slimes is "conservitave"?? True, Kristol and Krauthamer are not quite the FLAMING Liberal/socio-commie writers YOU would hold up as "main-stream", but they are NOT conservative, for what its worth.
YOU, BillD, are the one who "lacks an argument" with your hatefull diatribe always focusing on your own BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) and attacking those who do not think your "muslim messiah" is the "second coming" of Christ!
B. Hussein Obama is now trying to "spin" his way away from his 20 year mentor and spiritual "leader/advisor" that was his (Obama's) guide to "Christianity". The trouble is, the Christianity Jeremiah Wright Jr. "preaches" is filled with HATE for America and all who are NOT African or of African decent! NO WONDER Michael Obama has not been "proud" of America, listening to the HATE-FILLED "sermons" of such a RACIST all of her adult life!!! Imagine what the Obama daughters think of the world and America.
Should B. Hussein Obama win the Dem. nomination and the general election (GOD FORBID) he would lead this great country into Socio-COMMUNISM. He started out his social(ist)-work career teaching the underprivilaged of (south) Chicago how to get "benefits" from the government, not how to work for themselves, building on their abilities to find the work that would make them self-relient, but only how to get government "handouts"! If you teach a man how to get handouts, you keep him dependant the rest of his life. If you teach a man how to work and be self relient, you improve his self-esteem and he can feed himself the rest of his life and he is NOT reliant on government handouts!
BillD, you need to do some research on "he who walks on water", Osamabama. Look up a web site called : freedomsenemies.com, it has a LOT of information you should study so you are not so mis/un informed!!

WUSSA MATTER, BillD, can't you handle the TRUTH??
I "chgallenge" (DARE) YOU to try to be objective, try reading a column of someone YOU do not "agree" with, Dr. Thomas Sowell, in his latest article "Race and Politics" states in closing:
"Equality means that a black demagogue who has been exposed as a phony deserves exactly the same treatment as a white demagogue who has been exposed as a phony.
We don't need a President of the United States who got to the White House by talking one way, voting a very different way in the Senate, and who for 20 years followed a man whose words and deeds contradict Obama's carefully crafted election year image."
THE KEY WORD HERE IS "IMAGE", B. Hussein Obama is a FALSE IMAGE of what he TRULY IS!!!
BTW (By The Way) Dr. Thomas Sowell is a black man who did not gain his position through demagoguery, he worked hard without "preferances"!! Look him up and read more about him, AND read some of his articles/columns, I DARE YOU, BillD!!!!
Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305. His Web site is http://www.tsowell.com.

Hey, BillD,
I find it ODD that YOU (try to) reprove Mr. Dey for (trying to)"...raise doubt in the minds of voters" in one sentance, and in the VERY NEXT sentance, say "...we should've doubted them more"!!, you then ramble (rattle) on stating .."To be a journalist is to assume the role of the adversary.", HOWEVER you do NOT like Mr. Dey doing that VERY THING when exposing the fallacies of YOUR "muslim's messiah", "he-who-walks-on-water", the "second coming"(of Jimma Caater) Sena-TRAITOR B. Hussein Osamabama!!
Have you looked up and read/studied the web site freedomsenemies.com yet, BillD? You really should, it would give you a whole different perspective on the "muslim's messiah" Sen. Osamabama.

Try it aagain, BillD, here is the link directly to the Obama information:
http://www.freedomsenemies.com/_more/Obama.htm
I hadn't visited the site since they added anything other than Obama's history. It is good they have expanded the information they have compiled and I am looking forward to reading more.
Again, you are not able to refute facts so you denigrate what you do not agree with.
I couldn't care less of your personal situation and consider your support of Obama sooooo mis/un-informed it is ridiculous.
Here are a few of his supporters apparently you are proud to be associated with, (from the freedomsenemies.com site):
On February 1st, 2008, Obama received the endorsement of the George Soros-funded socialists at MoveOn.org.
This is the group responsible for the despicable General Betray Us ads.
MoveOn.org executive director Eli Pariser said the country needs a president to end the war (not win the war), provide universal health care, address climate change, restore America's standing in the world and "change business as usual in Washington."
Soros' 34-year-old son Jonathan Soros, an attorney and financier, recently promoted to deputy manager of Soros Fund Management LLC., is personally involved with MoveOn.org's activities.
Obama has the endorsement of the New Black Panther Party -- and it's on the Obama 08 website. (Oh no it's not. After the Rev. Wright dustup, the Obamalites took it down -- before and after images)
"Barack Obama represents 'Positive Change' for all of America. Obama will stir the 'Melting Pot' into a better "Molten America.'"
Read The New Black Panther Party 10 Point Platform
The Muslim American Society (MAS) is an organization with strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
On its website's "Personality Page," the MAS displays a photo and short bio of Barack Hussein Obama along with other prominent Muslims, such as Malcolm X, Saladin and Moqtada al-Sadr.
A 2004 Chicago Tribune investigation revealed that, after a contentious debate, U.S. leaders of the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood decided in 1993 to begin calling themselves the Muslim American Society. The Muslim Brotherhood is an international Islamist group that largely operates underground. The Brotherhood's goal is to spread the rule of Islamic law throughout the world. Key Muslim Brotherhood ideologues, including founder Hassan al-Banna, have endorsed violence as a means of doing so.
Today, MAS' leaders admit that the group was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood, but claim that MAS has evolved since then.
MAS' magazine, The American Muslim provides a snapshot of where MAS really stands on terrorism. The March 2002 issue includes a fatwa endorsing suicide bombings against Israelis, which states that "martyr operations are not suicide and should not be deemed as unjustifiable means of endangering one's life." The fatwa goes on to say that in suicide bombings, "the Muslim sacrifices his own life for the sake of performing a religious duty, which is jihad against the enemy."
Obama, is different from most Democrats because of his willingness to embrace the controversial George Soros. Shortly after Soros equated the abuses at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq to the September 11th terrorist attacks, Obama joined him in New York for a fund-raiser on June 7th.
Not only did Soros donate to Obama's campaign, but four other family members -- Jennifer, sons Jonathan and Robert and wife Susan -- did as well. Because of a special provision campaign finance laws, the Soroses were able to give a collective $60,000 to Obama during his primary challenge.
The Socialist Party USA is on board, and they're even selling Obama gear -- how capitalistic!
During his 12 years in politics, Sen. Barack Obama has received nearly three times more campaign cash from indicted businessman, Tony Rezko and his associates, than he has publicly acknowledged, the Chicago Sun-Times has found.
Seven months ago, Obama told the Sun-Times his "best estimate" was that Rezko raised "between $50,000 and $60,000" during Obama's political career.
However, Obama has collected at least $168,308 from Rezko and his circle. Additionally, Obama also has taken in an unknown amount of money from people who attended fund-raising events hosted by Rezko since the mid-1990s.
A British-Iraqi billionaire lent millions of dollars to Rezko just weeks before an imprudent land deal that has returned to haunt the presidential contender, a recent investigation by The Times discloses.
The money transfer raises the question of whether funds from Nadhmi Auchi, one of Britains wealthiest men, helped Mr. Obama buy his mock Georgian mansion in Chicago.
With the corruption trial of one of Sen. Barack Obamas longtime friends and supporters set to begin on March 3rd, in Chicago, reform watchdogs say it will reveal the "cesspool" of Illinois politics in which Obama came of age and has said little about in his campaign for president.
With the corruption trial of a longtime friend and supporter of Sen. Barack Obama set to begin next week in Chicago, the judge ruled today that federal prosecutors will be able to show the jury photos of Tony Rezko's suburban mansion because they are evidence of "events that occurred" there and of his "opulent lifestyle."
Rezko, charged in a scheme to bribe and corrupt Illinois officials, held numerous fundraising events at his Wilmette mansion, including one for the 2004 senate campaign of Obama that raised more than $60,000.
Everything you ever wanted to know about Obama and Rezko.
Obama's Iraqi Oil for Food connection -- The Obama-Rezko-Auchi-Alsammarae conspiracy.
Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said on February 23rd, 2008, that presidential candidate Barack Obama is the "hope of the entire world."
"This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better," he said. "This young man is capturing audiences of black and brown and red and yellow. If you look at Barack Obama's audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed."
Farrakhan compared Obama to the religion's founder, Fard Muhammad, who also had a white mother and black father.
"A black man with a white mother became a savior to us," he told the crowd of mostly followers. "A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall."
Farrakhan rebuilt the Nation of Islam, which promotes black empowerment and nationalism, in the late 1970's after W.D. Mohammed, the son of longtime leader Elijah Mohammed, moved his followers toward mainstream Islam.
Farrakhan has drawn attention for calling Judaism a "gutter religion" and suggesting crack cocaine might have been a CIA plot to enslave blacks.
The Communist Party of Illinois is working for Obama. "What Obama can do for the country will help all communities including providing jobs and health care. And the number one issue is stopping the Iraq war, which is draining our economic resources. If those things bear fruit, then they will benefit all working-class communities."
More than 80 attorneys who have been offering free-of-charge legal services to Guantánamo detainees issued a statement Monday supporting Obama's presidential bid.
The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) is representing several of the Gitmo detainees (such as Majid Khan) in court. Not only are they representing individual terrorists, but they are also coordinating all the legal representation for most of the detainees -- more than 500 pro-bono lawyers.
The CCR's funding statement reveals that the International Institute for Islamic Thought (IIIT) was a major donor to the CCR's work. The IIIT was raided in 2002 by Federal agents as part of a terror-funding investigation.
Not surprising that lawyers for Muslim terrorists would support Obama.
To name but a "few" that will pull the strings of the "empty suit" puppet named Obama, IF he manages to get elected to the presidential office (GOD FORBID!!).
GOD, please protect us from the Lib-Socio-communist by the un-holy name of Barack Hussein Obama!!
