Obama, the man, the symbol

Postby dolfan » July 30th, 2008, 5:02 am

Obama said yesterday to House Democrat leaders:

"This is the moment . . . that the world is waiting for," adding: "I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions."


Can it be very long before he works his way into an "I am" statement of some kind. I can envision a situation where he is asked about his message to America, to the world, and he says, "I am the message" or something akin to that. If he doesn't fit Tim LaHaye's model for a Carpathia type figure, it is hard for me to imagine that anyone else ever will. He is the most arrogant somebody who ever walked. If he's not the AC (and I reserve the right to hold to my preterist views here while allowing that Obama might be just that), then he's surely full of himself.

The more this guy is around and the more he says, the more he scares me.

I don't think that's going to stop him from being President. But, it might be what all of us look like if he's elected!!

According to John McCain, Obama is the biggest celebrity.

Strictly speaking, this isn't untrue.
For the truth that lies at the heart of theology is not something there to be discovered, but something, or rather someone, to whom we must surrender. The mystery of faith is not ultimately something that invites our questioning, but something that questions us.

I am already sick of the sound of his name,,,,,,and his voice.

Scott Rasmussen said this morning that the really hot people who were for him have begun to cool off. The young far left have all but forsaken him now that he is moving toward center.

He still hasn't unified the Dems......

McCain, while not the best choice, is the only choice. He is even sounding more conservative lately. He is finally beginning to hit with hard punches. I knew it was just a matter of time. He can actually unify the with his choice for VP.

I personally see Obama going down in a landslide for MeCain.,,,,but I have been wrong before.
