Obama’s Mega-Ego Flares Up
We all knew he had it … what else could have possessed him to think an ill-qualified junior party hack from Chicago could be president? … and now we’re seeing the massive Obama ego at work.
It is not an ego that cries out for middle ground, that seeks reconciliation and common cause.
Buried in an NY Post article about Obama’s cry for the GOP to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh – code for us to stop believing what we believe and start believing in Obamaism – was this passage:
In an exchange with Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) about the [stimulus] proposal, the president shot back: “I won,” according to aides briefed on the meeting.
“I will trump you on that.”
That’s change you just can’t believe; Bush never would have behaved so badly. It is also a sign that Obama, just a few days into the presidency, is already frustrated that not everyone is falling in line behind him. He can’t contain his frustration, so it spills out defensively in a strong egotistical statement – I WON! I Will TRUMP YOU!
More than his cabinet and czar appointments, this outburst speaks to the true nature of Obama. Anyone inoculated from Obama Magic Syndrome has known this day will come; it’s just shocking that it’s come in the first week of the admin, in the first meeting with the GOP in which different viewpoints were raised. That’s a sign that it’s going to be much worse than we ever imagined – Obama will force his agenda through over however many dead bodies he must cross. The partisan is now king; the post-partisan campaigner is now dead.
In Memeorandum, a Radio Equalizer post on The NY Post story with the quote has, as of 11:47 a.m. PST, over thirty links commenting on it: JustOneMinute, The Corner, Washington Monthly, The Moderate Voice, Right Wing News, Hot Air, Althouse, Don Surber, Sire Says, New York Times, American Street, This ain’t Hell …, No More Mister Nice Blog, Commentary, Wizbang, Brilliant at Breakfast, Pam’s House Blend, The Mahablog, Political Punch, NewsBusters.org, Outside The Beltway, Fausta’s Blog, Think Progress, Open Left, Sweetness & Light, Flopping Aces, Gothamist, Power Line, The Other McCain, RedState, JammieWearingFool, Macsmind, The Caucus and Riehl World View
Most are pegged to the Rush line, which was:
You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done.
Like I said, it’s code for do it my way or get out of my way. Convert to Obamaism or be forever damned.
You have to wonder what week two will bring …

That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Icy fingers up
And down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine

WTF, at least El Rushbo is constitutionally qualified to be President!
