Me Me Me My My Me

I should have counted how many times Barry said "me" and "my" in his speech...

Don't you just love how, after spending eight years attacking everything President George W. Bush said and did that now we're all supposed to play nice, be non-partisan and the press is openly saying they're going to kiss butt?

My transition team...
My administration...
My plans...
My, me, my...

Did you get a load of the podium? The Office of the President Elect... listening to CNN Business and they said they'd never seen anything like it before...

This administration is going to be known as the ego-presidency.

Except because all the comedians and Hollywood types and media love him and bow down for "the one" we won't hear anything negative except on blogs. And chances are they're going to shut us all down for being subversive before it's all said and done.

Mark my words, the Obamatypes are going to start reporting our blogs and the Obama loving owner will shut us down. It's coming. We better find another way to communicate because real, real soon we're going to lose the Internet in this country.

Hollywoodification of Politics

I had one of those uh-duh moments this morning while making breakfast and listening to Fox News. I can't remember exactly what triggered it, or who was speaking, but someone said "Hollywood" and little light bulbs started pinging in my whittle ol' brain.

Obama's Hollywood friends and supporters are packaging him to be a star. Check out his swagger, Frank Sinatra. Check out the photos of him with the cigarette in his mouth, James Dean. Everything is scripted, right down to the clothes, the look, the mannerisms.

He is a movie star, not a presidential candidate.

People are swooning and following him just like they follow the American Idols, sports stars, movie stars, and others. They could give a flying flip what he says, they're voting for the package.

I know none of my thoughts are new and that if I did a search I'd find that this is old news, old well-worn thoughts I'm trampling on, but I've been so focused on supporting John McCain and Sarah Palin that I haven't put much thought into Barack Obama's "mystique".

Just like a Hollywood actor playing a role, we have no clue who he really is behind the words. Strip away the facade and look at the core and we find he's nothing but a salesman pitching false promises.

Who is behind all the rhetoric? What little I know tells me this country is in for big trouble if we end up with him as President.

I pray that America is not getting ready to toss the greatest Democracy away based on empty promises.
