Over the Top, Literally, Rhetoric

The problem with campaigning as a "new leader" and an agent of change is that you have much father to fall when events show that you're just human, and worse a politician

Barry, I know you're happy about finally (though with a Clinton staking the heart isn't enough, you need to remove the head and stuff it with garlic...) clenching the nomination, but it might be best to reduce the... Messianic rhetoric, just a tad.

No joke, LGF shows BHO 's latest speech where he is one tiny step from claiming Biblical miracles, (never mind that a cynic would say his spending, taxation, healthcare and foreign policy plans would need a miracle to work).

I recently had a conversation where someone complained that only "right wing hack" sites call Obama "Barry". Yes, heaven forbid a potential president is called by a diminutive nickname form of his first name (which he used himself growing up in Hawaii).

I guess calling George Bush, Georgie or William Clinton Billy is similarly frowned upon..

But what can you expect, when a candidate has so many special rules that even his middle name is a touchy subject.
