Entering the electrifying campaign's final weekend, Obama Saturday
promised a "new politics for a new time" and said he had a "righteous
wind" at his back as he pursues his quest to become the first black US
president.

Wow, Sowell was right in his article called Ego and Mouth.

Snippets:

After the big gamble on subprime mortgages that led to the current
financial crisis, is there going to be an even bigger gamble, by
putting the fate of a nation in the hands of a man whose only
qualifications are ego and mouth?

Barack Obama has the kind of cocksure confidence that can only be
achieved by not achieving anything else.

The kind of self-righteous self-confidence that has become Obama's
trademark is usually found in sophomores in Ivy League colleges-- very
bright and articulate students, utterly untempered by experience in
real world.

The signs of Barack Obama's self-centered immaturity are painfully
obvious, though ignored by true believers who have poured their hopes
into him, and by the media who just want the symbolism and the
ideology that Obama represents.

The triumphal tour of world capitals and photo-op meetings with world
leaders by someone who, after all, was still merely a candidate, is
just one sign of this self-centered immaturity.

And now BO is claiming he has a righteous wind at his back? Oh sheesh.

Some hard hitting common sense:

For someone who has actually accomplished nothing to blithely talk
about taking away what has been earned by those who have accomplished
something, and give it to whomever he chooses in the name of
"spreading the wealth," is the kind of casual arrogance that has led
to many economic catastrophes in many countries.

The equally casual ease with which Barack Obama has talked about
appointing judges on the basis of their empathies with various
segments of the population makes a mockery of the very concept of
law.

Some common sense laid out by someone who isn't afraid to tell it like
it is.
