Obama The First: A Kingly Attitude For A Not As Yet Nominated Candidate

For a man who just barely managed to clinch his party’s presidential nomination (provided the delegates vote that way come August in Denver) rather than being humbled by the honor, Barack Obama’s ego seems to have been inflated as fast as the price of gasoline. (More about that later)

First, Obama plays the press pool covering him for fools, by sneaking off to a secret meeting with Hillary Clinton while the press corps get shuffled off onto a jet they thought was going to take them and Obama back to Chicago.

Then, at a rally in the Windy City, the normally understated Obama boasted that in 2016 he’d be wrapping up his second term as president.

Wouldn’t it be a good idea to win the first term first?

A bad day

Obama’s remarks would be annoying under normal circumstances, but the country and world are not in normal times.

On the say day Obama was projecting himself the winner of not one but two presidential elections, the stock market took a nosedive –down some 400 points–while the nation’s unemployment rate climbed to the highest it has been since 1986.

The price of oil, again, reached record highs.

And, Israel indicated it would attack Iran if Iran gets nuclear weapons.

One would think that Obama would have more urgent matters to talk about than his own ambitions.

Obama has always attracted a cult like following, and one could hardly expect his supporters to see with clear vision just how dangerous those with cult like followings can be.

It is troubling that Obama’s personality seems to have changed so radically so quickly. You’d think maybe he was pretending to be someone else during all those months competing against Hillary Clinton, only to finally remove his mask and give us a glimpse of his far more arrogant side?

We’ve lived through eight years of an Imperial Presidency with emperor Bush, do we really want another eight with King Obama?
