Barak Obama really is beginning to seem like a delusional, hubris addled, "Nero" like character to me. He claimed today that the anger that got Scott Brown elected was the same anger that got him elected. This is one of the more delusional things I've heard him say.
Obama wasn't elected because of anger, he was elected because of self congratulation. All across the country rich, white, college educated liberals said to themselves "I'm a good person - and I proved it by voting for that intelligent sounding black guy. I can't possibly be a racist now. What a moral person I am."
Self congratulation is the basis for virtually all liberal social policy, which is why it served as such a great tool for Obama to use as a springboard to the Whitehouse. But Americans don't really want his vision of a redistributive America, and that's what got Scott Brown elected. Rich white liberals want their guilt assuaged, but had they known that it would mean that the winners will lose and the losers will win, all by government fiat... John McCain would be president right now. No one still believes in socialism except ... well... excpet people like Obama.
Obama might not want to admit something like that in public but he certainly should be aware of it. If he really thinks he was elected by the righteous anger of the downtrodden, then he really is clueless.
