believeobama.jpgOh, oh, oh, this is good:

In his closed door meeting with House Democrats Tuesday night, presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama delivered a real zinger, according to a witness, suggesting that he was beginning to believe his own hype.

Obama was waxing lyrical about last week's trip to Europe, when he concluded, according to the meeting attendee, "this is the moment, as Nancy [Pelosi] noted, that the world is waiting for."

The 200,000 souls who thronged to his speech in Berlin came not just for him, he told the enthralled audience of congressional representatives. "I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions," he said, according to the source.

Man, is this election ever going to be fun.

Germans gathering by the hundred thousand in rallies.

Unless there's a soccer ball involved, less than ideal...

Rod,

I'm sure that your writing coach, Dan, is great and all and I am always pleased when young, inexperienced writers like yourself get continuing education, but these lessons are typically conducted in private.

Jason, your sarcasm is a delight. In fact, you should replace "get" with "receive". No extra charge on the writing lessons. Sorry to offend your etiquette. I should have read my mother's Miss Manners a little more closely.

"Writing lessons are conducted in private." Pg. 67

Well, there you have it everyone. Jason was right after all.

"The Bush bashing from the left has laid the groundwork to treat the President as no better than a chimp"

Correction. The "President" acting like a chimp is what laid the groundwork to treat the President as no better than a chimp.
