Barack Millstone Obama

Barack Millstone Obama
That's what Peter Weher and always perfect La Jennifer Rubin are calling Obama over at Contentions this afternoon. Take a look.

For those of you in Rio Linda:

A millstone around one's neck is a Biblical metaphor meaning a burden or large inconvenience one has to endure.

Or, as You-Know-Who said:

"Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believed in me, it were better for him that millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." -- Matthew 18:6

Speaking of being drowned in the depth of the sea:

"This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal."
-- B. Millstone Obama, Wednesday, June 04, 2008

Ms. Althouse liked that one, calling it the most "megalomaniacal line in Barack Obama's speech last night. We laughed a lot."

Methinks we're still laughing.
