I have to tell you, you know, it’s part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama’s speech. My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don’t have that too often. No, seriously. It’s a dramatic event. He speaks about America in a way that has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with the feeling we have about our country. And that is an objective assessment.
How soon will it be before he faints?
Thank goodness that we can still count on the “objective assessments” of Bob Owens and Captain Ed on the subject of the Illinois ‘messiah’ ![]()
And in all seriousness, the better quote from yesterday re: Obamamania comes from John Derbyshire, who asked:
What are we electing here, a faith healer?
Amy Proctor made a pretty convincing case a few days ago that yes, indeed, in the eyes of the O-faithful, they are electing a “faith healer” of sorts.
Bonus coverage: What is Barack Obama’s idea of a “patriotic” corporation? Bryan at Hot Air explains.
Related reading: There’s an emerging discussion in the leftosphere about whether Senator Obama is ’sufficiently bloodthirsty’ enough to take on America’s enemies abroad. And the WSJ asserts that Obama’s votes on wiretaps tells us quite a bit about the Senator’s national security creds – or, more to the point, lack thereof.

I support none of the three people who likely will be running for the Presidency: Clinton, McCain or Oboma.
They are all three flaming socialist and are the greatest threat that this nation is facing at the moment.
However, if Hillary Clinton gets the Democrats nod, I will vote for her as I believe that she can do the most amount of damage to ther American citizen’s wallet in the four year term she would be in offfice.
Otherwise, I will sit out and not vote.
The Main-Stream Media (MSM) may well have set up Senator McCain. Up until this point, he has been portrayed as the Maverick, the Hero, and the Straight Talker. When it comes to the general election, however, I think the MSM will try to pull their rug out from under him. The January maverick will probably be portrayed as a grouchy old man before October. I do not like McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, or the Group of 14 activities, but if nominated, I plan to support Sen. McCain and vote for him. The notion that four years of Clinton or Obama will be so odious that the U.S. will swing back to a much purer conservatism is just wishful thinking – the MSM will paint those years as Camelot II, with Ms. Streisand singing “Happy Days Are Here Again” again. Although I do not think of myself as much of a party loyalist, there are too many Supreme Court Justice nominations soon coming for me to not do all that I can for whoever gets the Republican nomination.
This is the song that Obama reminds me of.

Adoph Hitler could really rally those masses, and Olde Joe Stalin could make them walk barefoot through broken glasses, And Ho Chin Minn, he could bring the crowd in, and that Po Pot he know how his words could make them hot…
Now do you believe?
Now Marshall Applewhite made them think that they were going to go to Heaven on a comet, and David Koresh he sent his faithful on a path to Armageddon. And of course we all know about olde Jim Jones. His people did what he told em and that Kool-aid got overflowin…

Now do you see yourself as as Che’s Second comin… Or maybe you set yourself up on a path even higher. Perhaps you do see yourself as the new Messiah, start a new religion with you as its idol.
Do you believe?
Cults of personalities well they very rarely end well and with yours it could set the earth a trembling… For when you come unglued as all cult leaders in the end do, you could push that nuclear button and set the earth afire..
