At 0:33, with Michael Moore at his side, Barack Obama talks about a light shining down:
Barack Obama: “A light will shine down from…somewhere. It will light upon you. You will experience an epiphany and you will say to yourself “I have to vote for Barack.”
Firstly, as John Romano at Big Hollywood points out, why can’t he just say “a light will shine down from heaven“? He is supposed to be a christian having spent 20 years as a member of Rev. Wright’s church. Why is the abode of God such a difficult thing to reference?
Secondly, I don’t buy the notion that Obama is so arrogant to believe that he is a chosen one. But boy is he flippant! Whether it be the joke about Nancy Reagan and her seances, or the crack about the Special Olympics or that thinking about abortion was “above (his) paygrade”, Obama demonstrates a disrespect for others.
Gliberalism is writ large in the diatribes of Jon Stewart, Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews. It results from the arrogance of a sanctimonious elite and a disrespect and contempt for the lives of ordinary people. Jon Stewart may be the high priest, but Barack Obama is the personification of gliberalism.

I saw the comment recently that O is “the most intelligent President since Lincoln”. Lord knows how anyone could know that. You could as well guess that Hoover was the most intelligent president, and therefore a stark warning that being intelligent isn’t all that useful if the ideas you cling to are rubbish.
Cabbie Congratulations, no really well done my friend. I have bookmarked it already. Will you giving up on The Spectator? I do hope not but either way you can expect me to be a regular commentor. I look forward to continuing our good natured battles. THX1138

Thanks for paying me a visit, it’s really appreciated.
Dearieme – I think we just need to accept that there will be a serious amount of hyperbole about Obama over the coming year or two. He is smart and he has had a dramatic impact on the Presidency, no-one can dispute that but nor can the excessive adulation be justified at the moment.

Cheers mate. I’ll still be there at the Speccie, our battles are not over.
Hey, well done Mr Conservative Cabbie…I will look in on this blog…well done so far

Thanks. I hope to keep things interesting.
Does anyone remember the movie ‘The Candidate’ starring Robert Redford?
I always remember the scene where he is recording a broadcast in a studio and he gets a fit of the giggles when he sees the boom mic above him.
Now I don’t wish to trivialise but I know that I’d get pretty bored and pissed-off making all these portentious and uplifting speeches all the time. Coupled with the realisation that most of what I was saying was empty crap.
So, I’d just start to make stuff up for my own amusement.
‘A light will shine down from the chandelier, recently cleaned at the taxpayers expense…’
