Not my messiah

A hat tip to Melissa, who in turn found this via Kim.

I've been uneasy about some of the statements the esteemed senator from Illinois has made about himself for a long time, and hearing that he intended to make a speech in Germany (Just exactly why is a presidential almost - but not quite yet - candidate making a speech in a foreign country? Last I knew, the Germans didn't vote in our election. It's not like posing in front of the Brandenburg Gate (which the Germans - wisely - are not going to allow him to do) is going to give him the foreign policy experience he lacks; the only thing it could (and probably will) do is set him up as the second coming of Jack Kennedy. Which, to Democrats, is probably more powerful an image than the previous one touted by the media - that Obama is the second coming of Christ.)

Sorry for the ramble - too doggone early to be thinking politics.
