Look At Me!

Last night Barack Obama took five million dollars from poor, struggling Americans and spent it to air a self-promotional television show. The Obama campaign claims their average donation is $109. That infomercial then represents 45,870 families going hungry or skipping prescriptions in favor of seeing their candidate on TV.

Obama is spending upwards of half a billion dollars building a cult of personality around himself. The rhetoric invests the power of redemption in Obama, above the people or the culture which support him. “Turning the page” and “writing a new chapter in American history” have been made dependent on the elevation of Barry to the office of President.

His fall, whether it comes next week or at some point in the next four or eight years, will be very ugly.
