I’m voting for Obama because He is so cool he is bound to have an effect on global warming.

Awesome.

Haha, dude that was hilarious. Through the first third, you had me fooled because you sounded JUST like a real Obamite… I was ready to lay in to you for the idiocy of such comments… then you made me to an emotional 180 and I started LMAO when I realized what you were doing. “Lol” is tossed around so flippantly these days, but I honestly did laugh out loud a few times at your comment. Bravo.

An empty barrel makes the most noise!!

I’m voting for Obama because he will move people to be greater than what they currently are, he will rally the young and old, left and right, black and white to come together and reach for greatness.

I’m voting for Obama because he is a proponent of change and hope –something our world desperately needs.

I’m voting for Obama because His ability to lift the spirits of those who are oppressed is evident in his soaring speeches not seen since Dr. King; this will truly heal the damaged reputation of the U.S. abroad.

I’m voting for Obama because he will provoke change and transformation in our nation, our communities, and ultimately, in ourselves.

He bridges the racial divide of inequality and resentment that plague us- he will repair the years of brokeness that have gone before us. In him the ivory tower of Ivy League schooling and inner city desperation kiss in an intimate resolution of tension, strife and the chasm of want.

He inspired Will.i.am to write a great song and video, showing he has the ability to transcend artistic barriers of indifference and greed, uniting those would otherwise be prone to capitalist quarreling.

I’m voting for Obama because He is in his forties just like Bill Clinton was. And just like JFK was.

I’m voting for Obama because He is willing to speak with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – and other misunderstood leaders of developing nations letting them know that, yes, we can.

I’m voting for Obama because he was not subjected to 5 years of Vietnamese imprisonment and torture, thereby proving his youthful vitality and ability to stay out of harrowing and unnecessary wars.

I’m voting for Obama because He will bring home the troops and finally leave Iraq to flourish in peace and prosperity.

I’m voting for Obama because He is so cool he is bound to have an effect on global warming.

I’m voting for Obama because I love the sound of beautiful words that sing like Clay Aiken on a warm summer day.

I’m voting for Obama because He makes me feel good about myself.

And what I feel defines what is real.

When I vote for Obama, I vote for me.

Genuine remorse at having inadvertently humiliated his guy in front of MSNBC’s three viewers, do you think?

Uh…no. Genuine embarrassment at exposing the Emperor’s flabby, naked butt, and genuine horror at the filthy, enraged emails he is getting on his web site from the “Better Angels” over at DU.

Ask me about my accomplishments on national television, and I wouldn’t be able to think of anything either.

Yeah, except they weren’t asking him about HIS accomplishments…they were asking him about Obama’s accomplishments. The point was, this kind of question should have required no thought at all…they should have just rolled out naturally. Against the ‘Messiah’, we aren’t fighting policy or debating a reasoned argument, we are fighting pure leftist fantasy and the perfect-packaged marketing machine behind it. We have to make our points, as conservatives, but that is not sufficient. We have to recognize what we are up against or all of the good reasoned ‘explaining why liberal policies are detrimental, and traditional conservative policies are beneficial.’ will lead us to another ‘Jimmy Carter II’ presidency. We have to make fun of the ‘Obama as the Beatles’ phenomenon constantly. We have to hold a mirror up to the ‘fainters’ and let them see how ridiculous they are.

Ya’ll are working too hard trying to score debating points when you should be explaining why liberal policies are detrimental, and traditional conservative policies are beneficial.

So has anyone identified any accomplishments yet?

[M]y mind went blank. I expected to be asked about the primary that night, or the big one coming up in Texas on March 4, or just about anything else in the news. When the subject changed so emphatically, I reached for information that millions of my fellow Obama supporters could recite by heart, and I couldn’t summon it…

What he means:

What, I’m just a lawmaker, you expect me to cite legislation? Are you kidding me? And I’m too busy trying to get rich to go to his stupid website and read the talking points. I’m only a politician.

Obama makes maps?

Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Franken, Lurch, Teddycantdrive, Waxman,
Boxer, Murtha, Rangle…….what could go wrong?

I looked like you were writing some nightmare version of “We Didn’t Light the Fire.”

Your post reminded me of the crappy, PC, booby-prize trophies that are now handed out at the end of little league season.

Obama, the kid who never got on base or drove in a run, and never caught a ball, but showed up for almost every practice and cheered the loudest at every game, truly deserves the “Good Tryer” award.

I pictured him quivering in the fetal position for hours, wondering how he could atone to the god-emperor.

SERIOUSLY, y’all, one of the TOLERANT Hillary loving LIBERALS in the comment thread ACTUALLY SUGGESTS THAT MICHELLE OBAMA LOOKS LIKE “ZIRA” FROM PLANET OF THE APES.

So it begins. Instead of Che Guevara T-shirts, the Clinton campaign is already printing new hip clothing. Can’t you just see it?

Of course, you’ve already answered the question. His accomplishments mean nothing to his supporters and never did. It’s about feeling and emotion and momentum.

AUINSC on February 20, 2008 at 6:43 PM

There you go. In a nutshell.

If Obama actually has any “accomplishments” – and maybe he does – they don’t matter one bit. Nothing he’s done matters, and guess what? Nothing he WILL DO in the future matters. Not to his supporters.

That’s all just silly details. He’s Barack, baby. Just go with it.

Grilling? He asked you to name one (1) accomplishment.

amerpundit on February 20, 2008 at 6:37 PM

Yup. That’s all he asked.

But he asked it more than once. And actually wanted, you know, an answer. (Credit to Matthews for that, by the way).

If you’re a Messiah supporter, that’s considered a pretty serious grilling.

Real change means electing a person that is an elected member of said establishment, a member that doesn’t have any accomplishent to brag about, and pretending said member isn’t one of them but will somehow bring hope and change..

Do I have that right?
