Faster Than A Speeding Ballot - It's Super Obama

by Tim Blair - July 5th, 2008 - The Daily Telegraph (Australia)

A problem looms for Senator Barack Obama. Here's an extract from his speech accepting the Democrat nomination to run for president: "Generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal . . . "

Now, when you claim that your mere nomination is enough to commence healing the planet and rolling back the seas, what is left to claim once you've actually won the election? Forget him being the first serious black candidate; Obama is clearly the first Magic-American to run for the White House.

The press here in America may be in the tank for Obama, but that does not mean the rest of the world is not mocking his arrogance. Saying things of incredible stupidity is going to get you ridiculed, even when, like the Magic-Marxist, you say them with total sincerity.

This article takes Obama apart with satire. So much for the rumor that the entire world wanted him to be President.
