I am very disturbed that Obama has become a Rock star due to our American Media, that is owned by a few rich people who want to make him president so they can control him’

THE WAY THEY (THE media and the Democratic party loosers TREATED HILLARY WHO IN MY OPINION HAS BEEN TRAINNED BY EXPERIENCE TO BE PRESIDENT is not my kind of party even though I have always voted Democratic.

If Obama would get off his rock star status and get smart he would choose HILLARY FOR HIS VP

If he does not choose her, the republicans will tear him to shreads. AN I WILL VOTE INDEPENDENT OR WRITE HER NAME IN.

he got more people to a single event than any other Presidential nominee or President in history!

Back this up, please. And say whether those people had hugely popular musical acts give a free concert to lure people in.

As another poster noted, Hillary drew 150K people in Scranton, no musical act necessary.

How many people do you think will show up for Bon Jovi’s free concert in Central Park? Should Bon Jovi be POTUS? (Actually, he’d be far preferable to Obambi.)

Absolutely don’t want that! That’s why I pick McCain over Obama.

Inexperience, hubris, spying on Americans with no FISA court, accepts no criticism or responsibility, supporters are mad cultists who think their candidate is picked by God…

he doesn’t need to picture the crowd naked, he just has to keep his eyes on the teleprompter and his ears to the headset. Any fool can do that as he has proven.

do you always just pick and choose what part of an answer you will quote? He did not say we would be in Iraq for a 100 years. Give your posts some credibility by being accurate.

Is that the best you can do? Attack McCain’s age? How petty and stupid.

I am shocked. Shocked that Obama didn’t give his speech in German. What languages does he speak again?

I have heard Hasselhoff talk about how weird he found it that the Germans wanted him to do this. At least he has the sense to not take himself too seriously.
Here is a great article about Obama’s hubris (from a conservative site but well reasoned):
“A Runaway Ego is Obama’s Blind Spot”
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/07/a_runaway_ego_is_baracks_blind.html

Also read their article “Obama on Jerusalem Properly Phrased”. It is an eye opener and shows just how Obama deliberately talks out of both sides of his mouth then fudges and says things like his speech was “poorly worded” when he had told Jewish audiences them same thing before - IN WRITING. The dishonestly is blatant. At least the much-maligned Katie Couric pressed him on this.

I think that some (particularly his campaign) are saying exactly that: “Look at the crowds! He appeals to everyone!” Perhaps not in your mind, but why else would it matter if 200,000 or 1,000,000 or 10 people came out to see him? There seems to be some promotion from his campaign about his ability to draw crowds. Why else would the convention have to change venues? If this is not intended to imply crowds=appeal/competence/readiness, what is the intended message? Enlighten us, please!

Train wrecks and other disasters also often attract large crowds, mind you. It ain’t always becuase of love people are drawn in. The poster you replied to has nothing to be embarrassed about.

I do give him credit for that. His speeches are well put together and very well delivered. I have concerns about the Chicago political machine, not taking public funding, inexperience and not putting in the time as legislator and some associations with folks like Ayers. I kind of have a hard time w/ the pledge of allegiance photo from Iowa. Friends of mine from Cameroon left Paris after years of discrimination and came to America to become lawyers. Only here were laws to address bigotry and only here would hard work lead to advancement. America makes terrible mistakes (slavery, indentured servitude, internments, genocide against the Indians) but their are internal mechanisms for correction. The ideals of the Enlightenment and America are something I would put my hand over my heart for. Sure wish Mr. O. would too.

Now Obama is supposed to be such a great orator, but he has no speech in the top 100

The Top 100 speeches only goes up to 1999, so of course his convention speech isn’t. Check out the list by decade:

It is however the Speech of the Week this week on the front page.

If Obama were driving around in KITT I might consider him for the job… If KITT was VP.

Maybe.

Ehhhh, negative on my last, KITT wouldn’t help.

Thank you.
that brought back a lot of memories.
my son was born in june 1968.
they were very turbulent times.
we saw the best and the worst of this country.
the 1960’s brought a lot of changes to this country some good and some bad.

Clearly the ‘Chermanns’ have not abandoned their “Fuhrerprinzip’. Well ,if they are so obsessed with Obama ,why don’t they go right ahead and make Him their Fuhrer.

That way ,the vacuous and inane grandchildren can get to experience ,for themselves, the ‘thrills’ their grandparents once knew : ” Strength through Joy’ ,”Arbeit Macht Frei” , and all that jazz.

Well as an American , I did not pay attention, to the fake interviews or the German people but I did hear that even the German people did not leave with an aw of him, I honestly was paying attention to all the scandle that popped up while he was away. Dems Gas free tax in Colorado, I suppose the American people did not deserve one?, the embarassment of a man who did not find time to visit the wounded troops, but had time for a speech in front of Germans, Wexler who lives with his mother in law in Florida, whose a senator who lives in home in Maryland i suppose. Will Obama now buy him a house since he doesnt live in Florida, and hes up for re election. And the news that he will visit wounded captives in guatamino. mmm I suppose they are worthy of a handshake and a pat on the back…oh and by the way I enjoyed the new polls that most Americans still say the visit overseas did not matter he is still , has no experience . Ah and last that Mccain is coming up in the polls, and the race is even tighter, you see pretty speeches are not enough if you have no integrity to keep your word, and your record on voting on real issues that matter suck.. You guys better start worrying. :} NOBAMA
