Ouestions Posed By a Littlebrain

Why would a man who is aiming to be the most powerful man in the world need so many props? A President needs to be able stand absolutely alone if necessary, making decisions that affect not only his own Country, but the rest of the world as well, but Barack Obama seems to need lots of shoring up. Does anyone else wonder why he needs to surround himself with Presidential Props. Does anyone else ever think of the little boy in the Fireman's helmet or cowboy hat playing When I'm grown up I'll be...?

Why did he need, early on in his campaign to usurp and defile the Presidential Seal? More importantly, Why didn't he have the wisdom to know how inappropriate that was.....how....well.. pathetic?

Why does he need fancy stage sets costing millions of dollars that imitate, the Lincoln Memorial where Martin Luther King gave his, "I Had a Dream" speech and a fair imitation set of the Oval Office for his 30 minute infomercial last night?

Why did he need to paint a huge personal logo on an airplane, go so far as to embroider it on the seats inside, and then fly off to imitate John Kennedy's European trip?

Why did the Chancellor Germany have to be embarrassed into explaining to him that the Brandenburg gate was set aside for real dignitaries, important occasions and speeches not campaign speeches? Why did Barack have to be told? Where is his sense of appropriateness anyway?

"Merkel has voiced "great skepticism as to whether it is appropriate to bring an election campaign being fought not in Germany but in the United States to the Brandenburg Gate."
Steg (a spokesman for the chancellor) said that "no German (chancellor) candidate would think of using (Washington's) National Mall or Red Square in Moscow for rallies, because it would be considered inappropriate."

Why does French President Nicolas Sarkozy worried about Obama's ability to understand foreign policy?

Sarkozy has made his criticisms only in closed forums in France. But according to a senior Israeli government source, the reports reaching Israel indicate that Sarkozy views the Democratic candidate’s stance on Iran as “utterly immature” and comprised of “formulations empty of all content

According to the reports reaching Israel, Sarkozy told Obama at that meeting that if the new American president elected in November changed his country’s policy toward Iran, that would be “very problematic.”

Why would Sir Nigel Sheinwald, Ambassador to England write in a seven page letter to Gorden Brown, "There is also the suggestion that Obama is a novice: "The main impression is of someone who was finding their feet, and then got diverted by his Presidential ambition." ?

Do you too, see a fragile ego that needs to spend lots of $$$ on keeping up appearances? Does anyone else wonder how that will translate to the taxpayer dollar.

Oops!! I made a mistake yesterday in saying the middle class income had lowered to $140,000. According to Joe Biden, it's $150,000. I haven't heard what it is today..
