Megalomania 101
At first I thought the standard Obama warnings about crowd fainting when he started speaking were just peculiar, as was the bit about oceans receding and the planet healing. Then I noticed he has plans to move his speechmaking at the convention to a large outdoor arena, to allow the 'people' the right to hear him en masse. Now he negotiates to address Berliners in Kennedy/Reagan style (but weren't they already presidents?) in front of the Brandenburg Gate? Next? No doubt the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.

Well duh! The lightbulb just went on. Barack Obama is Conrad Birdie!!
Do you remember Conrad Birdie or is that before your time?
Yes. We just have Obama as rock star for the younger generations instead of Elvis!
Elvis ( or Conway Twittie, for that matter) would have made a terrible president, of course.
Conrad Birdie was the "rock star" in the Ann-Margaret and Paul Lind movie Bye Bye Birdie in the 60's. You must be too young to remember that movie. He was a no-talent sensation. :)
Susan,
I was in junior high when that came out. I saw it.
One has to remember that our grandparents' ( and some of our parents') generation regarded Elvis as a no talent sensation. The Conrad Birdie roll reminded them of Elvis.
That is our problem this year. Trying to tell the youth that Obama has no talent.
They don't see it that way!
