Ego and Mouth
by Thomas Sowell
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.
Anyone who has actually had to take responsibility for consequences by running any kind of enterprise— whether economic or academic, or even j ...

And where does this moron's "cocksure confidence" come from? What has he "achieved", compared to Barack Obama, or even Joe Biden?
And how does he like being innuendoed to death, with broadsides standing proxy for facts?

Cocksure, self-righteous, arrogant, immature, sophomoric -- Dr. Sowell, why don't you just say what you're really thinking? Barack Obama is uppity, because he's an ambitious and successful Black man who disagrees with you. Such bombast speaks volumes about your own moral and intellectual bankruptcy. All you're doing is preaching your irelevant Gospel of social Darwinism to an steadily shrinking choir of admirers: Clarence Thomas, Rush Limbaugh and the aptly named Republican "base." You and your ilk remind me of what Justice William O. Douglas once said of the U.S. Communist Part: "a few miserable merchants trying to sell unwanted ideas."

Mr Sowell:
Thank you for writing so well what I've been worried this entire campaign. How is this inexperienced, unaccomplished man who is adored by too many, yet too ignorant to know the FACTS about the REAL OBAMA, about to become President-elect of the United States of America? Because he is a gifted speaker and greater liar. And the masses believe everything the guy says.
I had hope this morning (Nov. 2) when I read the latest comment posted by the emailer about this being "Diedrich Boenhoffer Sunday." He wrote how Boenhoffer knew what the Nazis were doing, spoke the truth about it and was eventually killed by them. Then I get to the end and he chastizes you. He is another Obama kool-aid drinker. You, speaking the truth about Obama, thinks you are the one that is wrong. I sum up the emailers note that YOU are the one telling lies about Obama. The emailer would be the one to take you away to a concentration camp to silence you.
I am terrified about the future of America under Barack Obama. I hope all that he wants to do to destroy this great nation won't come to pass. I think many Obama voters will look back at the Bush administration and say those were the good old days.
GOD BLESS YOU MR. SOWELL AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
