Thirty Nine: BO's "Great Humility"

Up until BO's acceptance speech last week, there was a decent chance of many people like me (fiscal conservative, social moderate) consdiering him to be a potential beneficiary of our votes. Then came the three words, "WITH GREAT HUMILITY!" Who in the hell proclaims himself to have "great humility?" Who in the world wrote that line? Isn't procliaming yourself to be humble the antithesis of being humble?

And then there is this disconnect between the qualifications of Palin versus those of Obama. Since when do we compare the Veep's experience directly with the Prez on the other ticket? The Washington, DC and NY press is really exposing itself to be blatantly anti-mainstream in this issue. The editorial comments of talking heads who are nominally suppposed to be "reporters" is disgusting.

Oh well. As Tony Soprano says, "Whatya gonna do?" There is probably not more than 1% of all the politicains in this country who are in office to actually do what's in the best interest of the nation. The other 99% and a like proportion of the press are simply out to what is in their own personal best interst, the country be damned.
