Odd Stuff

So, Obama is still using his change.gov URL to try to make it look as if the “office of the president elect” is, ya know, an actual office…or that it’s part of the US government. It is not, and he is not actually the president elect until December. Right now, Barack Obama is a US Senator from Illinois and nothing more.

But, that’s not stopping him from posting weekly addresses to his people complete with his change.gov website listed and his official looking “office of the president elect” logo he had created, complete with bald eagle carrying arrows and olive branch.

The guy is an egomaniac who simply adores himself, and there’s little denying that plain fact. Let’s look at his record. Obama claims to be a post-partisan politician who just wants to serve, yet he won his first election by forcing every single one of his opponents off the ballot through sneaky moves based on technicalities. He won his US Senate seat by accident, because the current senator resigned after the Tribune demanded his divorce records unsealed and splashed across the front pages of newspapers nationwide. After this accidental election, he promised he would not seek the presidency, because he believed in being qualified and prepared for a job before you applied for it, and he was neither qualified nor prepared. Two weeks later he took back his promise and decided he would, in fact, run for the job he said he was not qualified nor prepared for.

He served a mere 143 days in his accidental senate seat before starting his run for presidency. He spent the next 2 years (read that, TWO YEARS) running for this office (not doing much of the ol’ senate job he left behind).

He had his people create an Obama presidential seal before he won the election, as you will recall, complete with the latin for “yes we can” slogan on the bottom. He had the eagle there too to make it look like the presidential seal. When this was reported, the campaign stopped using the seal out of embarassment.

Now, he’s taken to using an official government sounding website, though the site is basically his campaign website pasted onto the new URL…and he’s taken to using a brand new seal on his podium for “office of the president elect.” There is, of course, no such office in the federal government, and the fancy logo created is fictional as well.

Why run for an office you promised not to…an office you said you were not qualified for? Who runs for president after a mere 143 days in the senate, only to be elected to that senate seat on a fluke divorce disaster with the embarassed former senator??

Everything Obama does screams “ego!” I always thought Bill Clinton based all of his moves on his simple desire not to help, but for the sake of power and glory…Obama has Billo beat ten times over.

The guy is…frankly, he’s just embarassing to watch at this point. I’m just waiting for him to declare the president to be in charge of the official unofficial crown and throne. He’ll wear it as he sits behind a lectern plastered with eagles holding arrows, holding placards shouting “yes we can!” and “changenhope!” I can see it now…

Yet his cult keeps following like blind sheep. No clue what he truly stands for, no idea what his basic core values are. “Who cares what he stands for?” they say. “He’s cool and hip, and gosh darn it, that dude in his late 40′s undertands us 18 year olds. Besides, that other guy was wayyyy old, tehehe xoxoxo.”
