August 28th Then and Now

Check out McCain’s New Video….It’s very damaging
http://countusout.wordpress.com/

I have a legitimate question: If this were Hillary accepting in front of this set, would it be an issue?

Thanks, fred. One of Obama’s many lies-flip-flops.

Or, I guess he felt he was ready after he served 1 day in the Senate.

Not really. Besides, all the people who were criticizing him in the video were defeated by Obama. If he’s not ready to lead, what does that say about them?

HRC would never have allowed this type of thing to happen. It’s embarrasing for the whole country to see this staged and fake process take place. The country needs a leader…not a clown like Obama. The only thing he is missing is the red nose and big yellow feet. This is the type of process that you see in third world countries with fixed elections and censored press.

You can bet your life if it was Hillary, her haters would be all over it and it would be an issue. That said, I can’t even imagine Hillary doing anything remotely like this, and if she did, I would be thinking of the Evita Balcony scene, or Liz Taylor’s entrance in Cleopatra and making just as much fun of it.

Thank God Obama didn’t choose Hillary so she doesn’t have to take part in this fiasco at Investco. I don’t know what the Democratic Party is smoking these days, but I don’t want any part of it.

what really upsets me…

and what very few people speak up against…

is that everything about Baracktrack’s campaign, his lack of character, his lack of accomplishment, his lack of morals, his lack of humanity, his self-centered greed, his abusing of the democratic process, his exploiting and pillaging of his constituents (rezko, daley etc) and his race baiting goes against everything, every nuance and point of MLK’s I have a dream speech…

its as if MLK died in vain…

and that really really upsets me…

a. hillary
b. mccain

america first!

Fox just reported that Brittany’s set designer is the one doing Obama’s Temple of Buffoons.

Maybe they will release some doves at the end of the charade.
Also don’t lets forget to augment the set with some fainting couches…
AND most important lets complete it with a flourish of fireworks.
Be still, my heart!

Oh man. Ouch. Makes the Dems look like idiots, any way you slice it.

Geezus- Obama doesn’t even listen to himself saying he’s not ready and he wants the rest of us to believe in his ‘words’ now? ?

God help us please!!

Is it just me or does that stage look like a replica of the Whitehouse Rose Garden?

Yes Kelvin- this set is vulgar, Gawdy over the top NONSENSE and such a waste of money. That alone should infuriate even the progressive Dems for O-Hole. Its HYPOCRISY shoved down America’s throat.

I doubt any politician who truly cared about all those Americans suffering would do such a CORPRATE
SPONSORED FIASCO.

Absolutely disgusting.

STOP LYING! He served 143 days in the senate. Thats almost 5 months of work!

People go to college for 4 years and all they get is a degree, a piece of paper and a handshake…so long and thanks for all the cash…

Obama served 143 days and he wants the highest office in the land. He is entitled. How many days have you served in the US Senate.

Do not dare to criticize the Messiah again Heathen or he shall strike you down from atop the Barackopolis with his mighty unity thunderbolt.

obama has never been a candidate for President of the United States…the leader of the free world.

He’s only a marketing plan…a too-long commercial for another product we don’t need.

And I’m not buying.

The stage looks like hell. That’s what the stage looks like.

An annoying infommercial at that!

Jeesh, no one was defeated by Obama you idiot.

It no longer even matters what it looks like- its the Gawdiness Joke of this Presentation of the newest DEBUTANTE being introed adnauseum to the world.

I can hear Osama, Putin and all the other country’s leaders laughing. What a fucking sick joke on the American Public- not to mention, again, the absolute waste of money. Nancy Pelosi should be imprached for this hypocritical disgusting show.

not sure but with all the bullshit thats going to be spewed tonight i would not be surprised if roses bloomed on that spot in the future.

Its not even an INFO mercial. Its’ like girls gone wild videos of just how far the Democrats have sunk into their American Idol mentality.
It’s so sickening, showing the CHEAP side of those congress members who WE PAY and the horrible horrible job they are doing.

VOTE them ALL out of office.

Hillary would never be dumb enough to stage such a thing in the first place. This is just another example, in addition to his own admission in the video, that he is not ready to lead.

The stage is nothing compared to the Mountain of Lies Joe biden told about Obamas accomplishements and record during his OMG YOU LIKE ME YOU REALLY LIKE ME VP speech…reached across the aisle to work with McCain MY ASS!!

January 11, 2007 at 11:57 AM
Citing the Denver host committee’s strong bid and growing Democratic gains in the Rocky Mountain West, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean today announced that Denver will host the 2008 Democratic National Convention Monday, August 25 to Thursday, August 28.

February 10, 2007 Springfield, IL – Senator Obama announced his candidacy for President.

Close enough to be coordinated.

Aug 28, 2008 Through a fateful quirk of scheduling, Obama’s acceptance address falls on the 45th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

(italics mine)

Ahhh, just as planned.

Anyone who doesn’t believe that the DNC hasn’t planned this all along… I have a bridge to sell you. They knew Obama would be the only one that could come close enough to beating Hillary that their manipulation would work.

He didn’t beat her. There was so much voter fraud, many law suits in progress and a couple of documentaries and videos about much of it.

He’s a puppet or Nancy and Howards personal DEBUTANTE being brought out.

Ugh!

I guess everyone is missing the fact that the stage area is a giant O.

And the Dias where the annointed will speak is a succession of O’s Pilled one on top of the other getting ever smaller with the smallest O at the top. How fitting.

God i hope there is smoke. let there be smoke…please let there be smoke…it would be awesome.

Actually, they were. Chris Dodd, Joe Biden and last be certainly not least, Hillary Clinton were defeated by Obama in the primaries. And on Nov 4th, it’s McLame’s turn.

Kevon don’t you have any pod people freinds at pod people sites you can hang out with? or are you not special enough?

$4,367,500 So “The One” Can Deliver A Single Speech To His Disciples.

First of all Hillary would have not been at the stadium. How does he justified spending millions on this coronation when so many Americans are hurting and having a hard time buying groceries etc.Many of them are really doing without to send him a few dollars because they are ____ to believe in him and he is wasting their money. He wanted to win he should be in PA, Oh and the Appalachian regions. Also I heard there is going to be fireworks. Surely not. All of this will turn the middle class off even more. He is trying to act like a “Rock” star something that maybe the Academy Awards would look like. He is the most arrogant SOB I have ever seen in my 58 years. Do you really believe he is for us. Its all about fattening his pockets just like all politicians.

It wouldn’t been an issue with me because it’s not important. It’s just a stage. But, somehow it’s offensive to you PUMAs and the Neocons and you go out of your way to mock it. I guess that Obama’s right, you people take pride in ignorance.

You are an asshat. Head so far up your ass, shit comes out of your mouth..

Yes he did. There’s no evidence to dispute that fact.

Hillary wouldnt be caught dead accepting infront of this set piece.

Unlike the Fauxbama that needs smoke mirrors and hollywood productions greek temples fake presidential seals 200,000 goosestepping germans and in the tank MSM pom pom wet panty brigades to confuse the pod people into thinking he is presidential and qualified, Hillary actually is.

You are right. I think it has been planned since Kerry’s loss in 2004.

grandiosity, omnipotence, malignant narcissism

& possibly?

insane?

just thoughts…

you are so correct on the Vegas…

Democratic Party, you are so over, after all the years I believed in you

She wouldnt, she has class and brains. Something your guy doesnt have.

Just ignore this Troll.

If it is not an issue go comment on HuffPost.

I wonder how the homeless, jobless, and the uninsured think of this spectacle.

Yes there is, you just refuse to look at it. Don’t even ask me to post it because you’re a waste of time. You absolutely refuse because you are either a kool aide intoxicated Barrybully or a paid Barrybully or both.

Kelvin’s just a troll ignore him. Every time he posts just remember this is him:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3obYhJ2x1wE&feature=related

Well Oprah’s there too- O O O OOOOO OO OH! 2 zeros for the price of one, I get it now.

Kelvin…The voter fraud at the caucuses was enough to give BO the votes he needed. HRC got more of the popular vote so the BO handlers erased that lead with the fixed caucuses.

they’re going to CG in the giant O like the footprints at Olympics. then Charelton Heston is going to rise from the grave and part imaginary waters so the beloved can ascend to the facade front of the stage.

They are either homeless, can’t afford cable or a tv so they’re the lucky ones at the moment and don’t have to witness this Fanatical WASTE OF MONEY!

The homeless have no TVs so they cant see it.

The Jobless probably had their cable cut off for non payment so they wont see it either.

No idea what the uninsured will do. I wonder how many people he could have helped with that 4+ million.

Roseeriter I agree – my sister-in-law and many who was at a caucus in TX filed a complaint. They were pushed around, called names etc. and many went home. She called me in tears. She was really sick with cancer but believed in Hillary so much that she was there to cast her vote. The stories I heard were unbelievable.

Don’t waste your time with Kelvin. He just comes here every day to bait people. He has been told all this before many many times.

Every day he comes here and spews the same shit. I think he may be slightly retarded so i will give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he cant remember, but my suspicion is tht he is just a troll looking to incite and aggrevate, based on the many many days he has been here saying the same shit over and over and over.

They knew Obama would be the only one that could come close enough to beating Hillary that their manipulation would work.

yes it does, it does indeed

Pod Person Alert.

beating someone in an election doesn’t mean you are more ready to lead then them, it just means you won an election. and a primary election at that. what you said has absolutely NO relevance to the question at hand. what it says about Nobama is he can get 95% of the African American vote in a Dem primary and Biden, Dodd and Clinton can’t. Doesnt make him more ready to be POTUS. Gosh, even you has to see the stupidity of your reasoning.

He is a paid Obama staffer.

On stage pyrotechnics?
Or a laser light show?

Mount O-lympus with a bit of Rose Garden window treatments. What a jerk Obama is.

You clearly don’t have a clue, Kelvin.

The idea that Hillary Clinton would waste her contributors’ dollars on such ludicrousness in the first place is beyond silly.

This is not the MTV Awards, get it?

I love it when you people try to trivialize us, like you know what Dr. King would have wanted. we don’t want another old white rich guy. i’m sorry if that offens, but it’s the truth. stop acting like you speak for us, because you don’t.

No she was defeated by Obama in the caucuses; not the primaries.

In the primaries, she trounced his ass in all major contests and in all states vial for a Democratic candidate to win in the GE.

He won by gaming the caucuses that most hard-working people cannot attend and that are no representative of the will of the people; the Texas caucus being a case in point. Hillary won the primary in that state but not the caucus.

I have a masters in international relations. I remember what the 1980′s were like and I remember how good things were in the 90′s. I cannot wait for you 20-somethings to see that your dreams of grandur after graduation are merely figments of your imagination; sort of like the belief you all have that Hillary Clinton was defeated.

The next 4 years are going to be a bitch for you all with low-paying jobs, no benefits, credit-card debt, little disposable income, and living back with mom and dad cramping your social lives!

Keep hope alive! (because that is all you are going to have!)

Because I don’t like stage that Obama is going to be standing on while he gives his acceptance speech, I will vote for John McCain.

correction:

vital not vial

Obama is Baphomet. All initiatives must form a gigantic line and one by one, ascend that towering set of stairs to kiss his ass on TV. That’s entertainment!

If you looked at the video Sen. Obama says he is not ready!

Sharon you are so right, with all money the Dnc are spending for this crap, can you imagine how many hurting people could be helped, and they say they want to help people give me a break!!!

Yeah, I mean where in America can you find Greek Columns? Let’s see… there is the Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, the District of Columbia War Memorial, the visitors center of the US Navy Memorial, the White House. Those spots in DC not enough.

That not enough, how about your state’s capital building? Nearly all have columns like those found in Obama’s stage. There are columns like this found in many banks, libraries and college buildings all over the country.

Let’s not forget the columns included in Bush’s 2004 convention stage.

Forget Vegas, I doubt a single one of you lives more than 15 minutes away from a building that contains Greek Columns in their architecture.

Your hatred for Obama has blinded you from locating one of the most common inclusions in architecture in America.

I don’t think you know what Dr. King would have wanted! Please go back and review what this great man said, to judge people not by the color of their
skin but by the character. Sen McCain served his country,was tortured for 5 years, had to set his own
broken arms,was abused by his captors, worked accross party lines to get many bills passed!!!
What has Sen. Obama done?

Are you sticking up for columns or Obama??

NOBAMA The Puppet Debutante of the New Democratic Hypocritical Corporate Owned Botox FRAUD Party.

If she beat him that badly, why is he the nominee? That other scenario is what will happen with the Neocons still in charge, not Obama.

matchles, no one here hates Sen. Obama he does not
have the experience! He has said so his self, I feel
that alot of Democrats are hurting for money, and
with Sen Obama spending all this money, is wasting
money that could be used for his election. later he will come back to people begging for money, in fact just got a letter from him begging for money a couple of days ago. People can’t keep giving when they are having trouble just buying food and paying bills!

I backed a winning candidate. You backed a losing one, and I’m stupid?

BTW, PUMAs, Obama’s up by 6 in the latest Gallup.
http://www.gallup.com/home.aspx

Husof, I appreciate your honesty. I wouldn’t go the rich white man route, though. I just don’t want anymore Neocon puppets in the White House. Honestly, we have Obama as the nominee, but no matter who won, they’d had my vote. Dems up, Neocon Oil whores down.

Nah, I tweak you PUMAs purely for entertainment purposes only. I could used the extra grip, though.

Where do I find it? Is the source credible? The WSJ? Fox News? CNN? MSNBC? NYP? NYT? Politico? Or the “I hate Obama” network of under ground websites?

You can say what you want, just spell my name right.

I live within 15 minutes of all the fine examples of DC’s Greek columns you mention in this comment. The things on the stage of Invesco Field are faux Greek columns. Hence the Vegas analogy. Get it? Faux columns for a faux hero.

Anyway, this column was not about columns. I actually could not give a damn about columns. I care about stupidity.

Why can’t you PUMAs respond like adults? Why all the cursing? Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

How is it vulgar? I don’t see any nude statues around it.

There’s that entitlement word again. You PUMAs really need to stop using it.

it says you are stupid

It looks like the old Bill Maher set, not the Lincoln Memorial.

It would be stunning if he did not get a Convention bump, especially after Hillary’s fantastic speech.

However, those of us who have been through previous elections remember quite well that bumps happen in the polls after Conventions, and usually go away shortly thereafter. Since McCain’s Convention will come next, he’ll have the advantage of getting a big bump closer to the election.

In other words, this little bump is meaningless. What will matter is the first week in November, AFTER his O-ness has been finally vetted by the media and the electoral map looks like the one at AOL’s straw poll has looked all summer. All red.

I’ve never voted for a Republican before, and have been voting Democratic since 1972. I am sickened by what’s happened to my party this year.

What would you suggest? Make it something indisputable, now. Something that can be verified and agreed upon by both sides. Come on…tick….tick…tick

Time’s a wasting, Kelvin.

Tell us why entitlement doesn’t work for you.

Only I would spell it:

Mt. O-limp-us.

or

Mt. O-lame-us

What a joke for a loser!

Uhm, first year up in the Senate, the One was taken under Dick Lugar’s wing and toured Moscow, Kiev and Baku. If that doesn’t ring any bells for you, try googling Lugar, Biden and Hagel, and then tell me how we won’t be fighting a neocon war for oil.

Actually I do live 15 minutes away from a courthouse with beautiful greek columns. But that still doesn’t signify that Obama is qualified.

Please, this is all for Obama’s own delusion about himself. It feeds his mental illness.

You either join with the inmates in Obama’s little insane asylum or you don’t.

We choose to keep the keys, the meds, and the control of our country.

McCain 2008

Hillary 2012

[...] August 28th Then and Now [...]

Does anyone know if Union members built the set?

Or was it a no bid contract?

Kevin – How is it vulgar? Asking such a question tells us immediately why you cannot be taken seriously. I hate to tell you this, but nudity has nothing to do with vulgarity. Michelangelo’s David is nude, but anyone with half a brain knows it is not vulgar. On the other hand, surrounding your house with statues of naked ladies and painting on colored nipples and pubic hair would qualify. BO’s Temple of Doom is the equivalent of the latter. Two words spring to mind – hubris and thoughtlessness. You can look the first one up in your hope and change dictionary. The thoughtlessness comes in at the expense of what Britney’s (queen of trailer trash tackiness)designer has cost to erect this monstrosity. I am sure all the people living in life-endangering trailers or trying to rebuild their homes in NO and Miss., or those who lost their homes in the mortgage mess, are thrilled (right up their legs) to imagine what has been spent on this Invesco Colosseum fiasco. “Give them bread and circuses” decrees the Baremporer “then when the time is right you can let the lions out”.

no your reasoning is stupid. I can infer from that that you are stupid but that’s not what I said. And if we are talking about backing “winning candidates” as a measure of intellect who did you back in the 2004 presidential election and in the 2000 presidential election. HMMMM… is backing GW Bush, the “winning candidate” a sign of intelligence? It’s amazing how ignorant people (such as yourself) are unable to realize their arguments are illogical and irrelevant and then just ignore that fact when they are exposed for the fools that they are. Just admit your argument was silly and irrelevant and you will actually begin to sound more intelligent. (Of course it’s probably like putting lipstick on a pig)

Correction to the comment above, I HATE OBAMA.

Wow, I would not put it down in my CV.

They were give haircuts. I guess if they needed a chair filled, the DNC could recruit outside.

sorry took that off the other computer…
http://mcnorman.wordpress.com/2008/08/20/the-audacity-of-a-haircut/

Why can’t you get a life? Why are you so ….desperate, and needy?

Or is it that you’re afraid, that you too, see the sham farce that’s happening in this mock coronation? All the religious speeches coming out of people like Kaine?
How ironic that he was followed by Judas.

If I didn’t know better, I’d swear that sermon he just gave sounded VERY RNC to me.

The crowd looks glum and perfunctory. A bunch of dullards…rather like you, actually.

No, You Can’t.

We will remember in November. So taunt away, you frightened little turd. Every troll that shows up here is indicative of WEAKNESS in the Obama camp, not strength.

I’m pointing out how ridiculous the line of attack in this post is.

The poster above you called him O-hole earlier in this thread. There is hate ALL over this site and none of it justified.

As for your argument. Obama has 8 years of state legislative experience and 4 years of national senate experience. That is more experience than Abraham Lincoln (8 years state, 2 years national congress), Carter (4 years state, 6 years governor), Reagan (8 years governor), W. (6 years governor), and Hillary Clinton(8 years national senate). It is sad that you think this is enough of a reason not to vote for a guy.

If you have to explain the connection, it probably isn’t as clever as you think. It’s a given that anything on a set will be fake. Why dedicate 2/3 of your post and 3 pictures to the columns if you don’t care?

The advantage of replying to this after the speech is to add this. It didn’t matter how grand that stage was. It was dwarfed by the size of that crowd and the power of his speech. McCain has a tough act to follow.

His speech was as empty as his suit, nice try at propping him up though. Now you’re gonna have to try to carry his sorry behind across the finish line….good luck with that one! hahahahahaha!

You are too far gone to even try to debate. It is pointless to try to talk to someone like you when you spout vitriol and filth.

OMG. So it’s her example that isn’t so clever because she has to explain it to YOU? Um…you should leave…now…that was painful.

Why not just come out and say it? You can’t keep up with the conversation. But, I am enjoying myself watching you give it the old college try.

His speech wasn’t for you. You are too deluded in your hate for him to make a rational decision in the choice for president. His speech was for those who are actually open to making a choice and it had substance, it was strong, it hit McCain hard and it was inspiring.

You can try to claim that he is having a hard time but I guarantee that the McCain camp is shitting themselves tonight. That speech delivered in ever measure.

Keep up with the conversation how? How are you supposed to respond to someone who thinks a candidate and all of his supporters have a mental illness? He isn’t thinking rationally so replying with a fact filled response isn’t going to convince him otherwise.

The post is without substance. Her point was that he embarrassed the party because he was speaking in front of a “fake Greek Temple”. The entire post is about the set. Just because she comes back later and says otherwise, it doesn’t insert meaning into the original post.

No, trust me, the McCain Camp is sitting back with cigars and brandy. My republican family members just called to rub my nose Barky’s speech. They love him. They can’t believe they’re getting back into the White House after Bush. Barky, the gift that can’t shut up.

No, you were just too stupid to make the connection. Everyone else in the bloggosphere got it.

So why bother responding to someone who you think is not thinking rationally, that’s not rational.

…and the only republicans in my family have told me they are voting for Obama because he will actually work with both sides to get things done.

I call BS on your post though. Dem or not you people on this site have more hate for Obama than any of the republicans so why would they call you to brag about Obama going down? Even if it is true, I don’t take a phone call from your family as an example of how the country sways as a whole. Besides if your family is so happy with the Bush administration that they want to go another 4 years, the speech wasn’t for them. It is for the over 70% of the country that is pissed of by the job Bush has done.

…because it would leave you with the satisfaction of feeling like you’ve won something.

People who use words like “bloggosphere” shouldn’t throw stones.

And that is childish. Obama supporters, irrational and childish, yup, that about sums it up.

Besides, Pat Buchanan just called the speech “the best convention speech ever”

Yeah, I shouldn’t…I picked up that gem from Daily Kos. Your home planet.

You nailed it Strawberry.

It’s a rational reason.

Besides, what about it is childish? At least any name calling I’ve done is veiled.

uh oh the PUMA circle jerk begins again. Watch as they build each other up with “you nailed it” and “lol that is so true” comments. Anthropologists have suggested that this is a survival mechanism necessary to sustain this amount of bitterness the PUMAs display through the election season.

Got nothing good to say about your empty suit Barry Soretoes do you knucklehead?

Go do a message search at Daily Kos. I don’t diary or post there. Nice try but not all stereotypes fit.

Um, I’m not a registered member of PUMA, but it appears James Carville is…Oh and no I will not jerk you off, so quit hinting.

hmm a passive agressive type just like Barry.

“Best Convention Speech Ever” – Pat Buchanan

I think that pretty much sums it up.

oh more Buchanan quotes you want?

“I understand it was signed Barack Obama. It was a genuinely outstanding speech. It was magnificent. It is the finest … I saw Cuomo’s speech. I saw Kennedy in 80. I even saw Douglas MacArthur. I even saw Martin Luther King. This is the greatest convention speech. Probably the most important because unlike Cuomo and the others, this is an acceptance speech. This came out of the heart of American and he went right at the heart of America. This wasn’t a liberal speech at all. This is a deeply, deeply centrist speech. It had wit. It had humor. And when he used the needle on McCain, he stuck it into McCain, and it was funny as with Kennedy’s speech in 80. I laughed with Kennedy when he was needling Ronald Reagan. It was so good.”

Like I said, Obama is the republicans’ wet dream. So you’re quoting Pat now? And you bitch when someone here links to Faux News. Hypocrite.

Oh you… so clever… and what substance. Any other one liners you wanna belt out? Any your mom jokes or not jokes?

I never bitch when someone links Fox news stories. People can feel free to link anything, I just reserve the right to call BS on the source. Not even Fox news gets it wrong ALL the time. Pat Buchanan is no friend of Obama and when he says it is the best convention speech ever it has struck a chord.

Anyways, you’re attacks have gone way off base. By attack me as a stereotype you’ve completely missed the mark the last few times. As a result, I’ve lost interest. Have fun. Goodbye.

No low information voter, my republican family and military friends dispise Bush, they thought he was the end of the republican party, until Barky reared his ugly head…and hope was reborn, but not for us, the democrats. I again get to be the family whipping post this Christmas, the gloating will be murder. My only retort is…I voted for Hillary, don’t blame me.

Come back here so we can bite your legs off….
