DUDE, WHERE'S MY RECESSION? A followup post on the economy from Fabius Maximus.

YOU CAN SPOT A BUBBLE by irrational exuberance, and pronouncements that the usual rules no longer apply. With that in mind, note this:

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama dropped in on the Chicago 2016 Olympics rally on Friday and declared he is confident that he will be winding up his second term in the White House when Chicago hosts the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.

Such bravado about his own future is not typical of Obama, even in private.

Then there's this:

Barack Obama isn't really one of us. Not in the normal way, anyway. . . .

Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul.

I'm just sayin'.

JAMES TARANTO ON "THE JERUSALEM KERFUFFLE." "Obama has made a lot of pronouncements about the Middle East that strike us as frighteningly naive, from his pledge to meet Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without precondition to his declaration that Hamas and Hezbollah have "legitimate grievances" and his promises to surrender in Iraq. His statements about Jerusalem, however, seem to reflect a welcome sophistication and realism."

D-DAY REPORTED BY TODAY'S MEDIA: US Army pinned down in bungled assault. Huge civilian casualties. Experts fear grave damage to the environment!

OBAMA denies Michelle video rumors.

UPDATE: Rand Simberg thinks this is a non-denial denial: "The headline of this story is that 'Obama denies a rumor,' but he doesn't really, at least from what I can tell from the reporting."
