Every political campaign has its weak spot. Every human being has his own blind spots. In politics and war, it's those blind spots that eventually make for victory or defeat. When an opponent discovers that weak spot, he just needs to hit it over and over again to win.
In Iraq, Al Qaida's blind spot was its penchant for bloody random killing of innocent civilians. It turned the tribes against AQ. Every time they car-bombed another peaceful marketplace they made more mortal enemies. That's why they lost.
For Barack and Michelle Obama, the biggest blind spot is Ego Tripping -- the temptations of boastful grandiosity. It's Obama's need to be seen as Jesus Christ Superstar. They have to "remake the world," "stop the rise of the oceans," "we are the change we've been waiting for." The Obamas keep getting drawn into that blind spot, even when it's not smart politically. Arrogance is their Achilles' heel.
That's why the PR rally in Berlin drew them so magnetically.

This is why he will go down to defeat in November.
Sshhhh! Don’t help him.
A lot of Brits have been posting on the dailymail website that Barack reminds them of a mixture of Tony Blair and Mugabe.
Not a good combination.
This reminds me of how big Michael Jackson was just before he became the world’s biggest joke.
Egomania is not unusual in a politician. However, most successful pols have enough sense to surround themselves with good advisors to reign themselves in.
While Obama was lecturing people that couldn't even vote for him, McCain was asking for votes in the USA....Obama is an egomaniac, and he's not even getting decent advice.
Egomania is not unusual in a politician.
It ain't obvious, though, to Obama's staff. Or Obama. Or his sycophants.

The Obamaisms will not be over until he is soundly defeated, and his thugs are arrested for trying to burn down our nation after he loses.
One can only hope.....

I truly believe O (as in zero or null) is the product of the public school systems attitude to always avoid damaging a students ego/self-esteem while ignoring his lack of competency. And his ego was feed with the benefit of “reverse discrimination”, or affirmative action.
His mammy must have read the “Little Train Who Could”once too often too.
O would be a much better head waiter than a senator any day.
And, he was missing a father figure to beat a little humility into him. There used to be a word for that.
To SHOW one’s ego is stupidity during a campaign and that is the true reason Obamie will fail.
Slick Willie was smart and kept his massive ego hidden from the nation until elected.
O’Bama sounds so self-assured even when he is trying to find little words the common people might understand. Um. Uh. Uh.
Bingo.
Some kids are told they are "special" in third grade and made Class President or elected to Student Council. Most outgrow it. Some believe it and never do.
In Obama's case, he seems to believe he is special for the whole world. He's just another liberal promising pie-in-the-sky utopian programs.
Staging a speech in Berlin in the model of JFK and Reagan, in this stage in his career, announcing such globalist ambitions for the whole world seems a little grandiose and delusional, just a tad. He's not living in South Africa and struggling against Apartheid. He hasn't even been elected president yet. There is no need fro grandiose speeches to the world in international settings. If he wants to be Emperor of the world he should take it up with the UN or the EU and put it to a vote.
This is not what we need in the United States which still has a Constitution protecting us from totalitarian dictators and would-be monarchs seeking the divine right of Kings.
We should all be glad this ego maniac has peaked early.
He couldn’t help himself, drunk on his own hype.
It will not be sustainable in the months to come.
