RED, WHITE 'N TRUE
OUR MR. BIG

Just as we’re about to get rid of our big Texas-sized a**hole of a president, George W. Bush, it appears that America is about to elect a new president big on hopes, big on dreams, a man who looms larger than life itself.

In these times of big oil problems, big economic problems and big housing problems is Barack Obama, big on himself, what this country needs in our time of great peril?

The man who managed to eek out a tiny win against the Clinton machine in the Democratic Primary, mostly due to his ability to raise big loot, is big on everything. He’s got huge ideas for how to get America out of Iraq and into Afghanistan. He has big ideas on health care, faith-based initiatives, economic programs.

He gives grandiloquent speeches tackling Olympian subjects others would rather stay away from such as the issue of race. He has a grand plan for our youth to give their service to America. And he likes to discuss his sometimes grandiose ideas in huge venues.

Obama recently announced that he will, in a break with tradition, give his acceptance speech to the Democratic presidential nomination at Invesco Field at Mile High, a 76,000-seat stadium, rather than at the smaller site of the party’s national convention across town.

That’s huge. But, as I said, Barack Obama is into big.

And therefore, we shouldn’t be surprised to learn that apparently, our Mr. Big, has created his own mini-State Department, employing a cast of epic proportions, 300 foreign policy wonks to help him on the subject of, yes, foreign policy.

Which leads one to believe that Obama sees America in such titanic peril that he thinks we need two State Departments, or he feels personally inadequate to the big job of foreign policy.

Obama operates on a larger canvas than most big-wigs including his rival for the Presidency, Republican John McCain.

Next week, making his grand entrance on the world stage, Obama will take the Grand Tour of Europe and the Middle East visiting Iraq and Afghanistan with an entourage large enough to rival the groupies that follow our biggest rock stars, including the three network super star anchors of America’s evening news broadcasts.

Obama, born on the big island of Hawaii set in the middle of that massive blue ocean called the Pacific, with the mammoth mountain of the Volcano Kilauea as the backdrop to his life, is negotiating to give a huge rally in front of the Brandenburg Gate when he visits Germany ignoring the fact that he isn’t yet a president as Reagan was when he gave his famous speech with the Teutonic gate behind him.

But where else could a man with Obama’s gargantuan ego find the proper stage to introduce himself to the world?

All that grandiosity, all that colossal showmanship, all those tremendous venues… all the big cover-up for Obama’s biggest problem:

He’s small on experience.
