Prophetic

Today, at Instapundit:

“I think Obama’s “charisma” was based on voter narcissism — people excited not just about electing a black President, but about themselves, voting for a black President. Now that’s over, and they’re stuck just with him, and emptied of their own narcissism there’s not much there to fill out the suit.”

And...me, January 18th, 2009:

“Now, these people have exactly the person they want in the office.....a primping, self-aggrandizing, malleable whelp that ‘speaks well’ and can use large words.  IN their eyes, he’s JFK with the added bonus of being a minority, a walking trophy to their self-definition of open-mindedness.  He’s coming in to ‘change everything’ by being like Bill Clinton.  He is their idol, plated in gold and carrying the leftist and activist past that makes them weak with giddiness.  It isn’t that he’s who he is, it’s that THEY WON OVER BUSH.....finally!  Now, the traditional way of their forefathers...the love of God and country, the respect for the institutions...can be replaced with someone that is more agnostic about the beauty and miracle that is America.”

Nice.
