And You Thought "I Won" Was Bad

In the first two weeks of this running disaster known as The Obama Administration (excuse me while I rinse the bad taste from my mouth...), The One kept repeating to Republican leaders, "I won." It was his subtle, humble way of letting anyone who dared stand in the way of his socialist agenda know that he was President. He was going to get his way.

Pretty much the same thing you'd hear from second graders in the playground, but that point is beyond much of Obama's supporters, since they're still in the first grade.

I thought Obama had hit the pinnacle of arrogant self-aggrandizement when he said this, but I was wrong.

This past week Obama met with TV anchors at a White House lunch, and he actually had the temerity to say this:

...he likes being president. "And it turns out I'm very good at it," he added.

Been in office one month and already he's the expert. This despite the fact that he punted the entire Porkulous Bill to Pelosi and Reid - didn't write one sentence of the thing - has spent more than half the month away from the White House, which he called "confining", and has given more speeches than any other president in the same time period (30 days).

What he meant to say was, "I like campaigning, and it turns out I'm very good at it." Because that's precisely what he's been doing since he won the election: campaigning. He just can't stop, because it's all he knows how to do.

Leadership?

Never done it. Never even heard of it.

At least one of Obama's retinue has seen the light:



The Tea Party is just beginning, folks. Get on board!
