Lord Obama

This is getting really bizarre (see here). Does anyone doubt that if all the delegates were released at this point Hillary would win by a mile? BHO is a one-trick pony with trick that went stale about six weeks ago. He got in just under the wire as the primaries ended, but now he's caught with too much time left until the General Election -- and, worse, he's saddled himself with Joe Biden as his running mate. It's all unraveling. The media have protected him until now, but they will smell blood in the water pretty soon. Look out then, because he's got lots of baggage that has so far sat there untouched.

The plan to have Obie speak like Socrates in front of a phony Greek Temple is Twilight-Zone surreal. Will he wear robes? He's fending off allegations of being nothing but a puffed-up celeb with zero accomplishments, so Mr. Judgment does this? Maybe it's not a temple, but a theater instead, and he's the doomed figure in the Greek play, unable to stop himself from doing the fatal thing.

Or maybe we're in the next Mel Brooks movie. "The Producers" was built around a scheme to purposely stage a flop -- but it turns out to be a hit. Obama never imagined he could get the nomination this time around, was looking ahead 4 or 8 years to when he'd be seasoned, ready, and had earned the right to be easily ascendent. But thanks to Bill Clinton's big mouth and to the well-funded anti-war nut brigade on the party's left fringe, Hillary got the rug pulled out and, incredibly, Obama ended up nominated! So, suddenly, there he is: Giant ego, some fast-fading rhetorical flair, and no experience or qualifications for the job. From here out, the screenplay writes itself.

As she leered at some guy, Mae West once famously said, "You can't be first, but you can be next." Maybe the Greek Temple thing makes the most sense, after all: The gods are about to punish Obama for being first when he should have been next.
