50. codswallop of the most irrational kind.
and Obama has nothing to do with it.

"The very moniker of triumphalism precludes much introspection, and only an ingrate would expect any elaboration beyond the proclamation of defecation. The premise is unshakable, and no proof is needed."

That sir, is word salad of the most pretentious and nonsensical kind. Orwell would excoriate you upside and down for this kind of political "writing". What does it mean? Virtually nothing. Let's parse. By triumphalism, one can only assume you're referring back to those who you believe have " egos are entwined with the unshakable fact that Mr. Obama is all that is good and true cannot brook any dissent or critique. That in itself is a ridiculous straw dog. Why? Well, for one thing, it's cheap ass pychoanalysis. And it's absurd to jump to the conclusion that because someone supports Obama, there ego is tied up in triumphalism. Oh, have I mentioned how much contempt I have for pretentious bullshit that has nothing to do with real intellectual acuity?

Rationality is a good thing. YOU wouldn't know it if Orwell smacked you across the face it.
