A Presidential candidate declared that he had secured his party’s nomination. The speech was considered effective even by some of Senator Obama’s ideological opponents — perhaps we are benefitted by never listening to the Pied Piper deliver his addresses, but only reading them after the fact. To us the hyperbole of the speech was so outrageous that it is difficult to believe that this was an actual candidate’s speech rather than a TV show parody of politics:

I am absolutely certain that, generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless…(APPLAUSE)…this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal...(APPLAUSE)…this was the moment when we ended a war, and secured our nation, and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth.

(Does Senator Obama not know that unemployment is 5% and that the US has the health care system that is the envy of the world, or — as seems obvious enough — he’s decided that he can sound like Moses or Jesus Christ and get away with it?) He certainly seems to deserve the picture that the media has made for him. He forgot the bit about parting the Red Sea, however.
