It’s so heartening to see some real serious cynicism, thoughtful questioning, some real attempt to pin things down — and such satire! The scenarios are so deliciously twisted. Kumbaya at the Federation of Planets! I can see it now. Except in my vision Obama has a tinfoil hat on that perfectly formed cranium of his.

The TV comics have been lamenting that they have not been able to get a take on Barak Obama yet. I don’t see why. You guys have found a bunch.

It’s precisely as universal, and precisely as substantive, as “Are you ready to rock?”

Actually, given the context, it’s more like, “of course I’ll respect you in the morning…I love you baby.”

Ok. I actually laughed out loud. That’s good.

I just became a McCain supporter yesterday. Not because I want McCain to win the elction, but because I want this jackass to lose it in a big way

This is a guy who needs to be publically humiliated in the worst way possible.

Good on ya, mate! Let’s hope lots more Americans do the same.

Excellent! I hope there are many who are joining you.

I liken McCain v. Obama to the Tortoise v. the Hare.
Who won that race?

Yeah. I’m there too.

Next stop: Federation of Planets. Hold hands and sing Kumbaya with the Klingon Empire!

I saw some of that too. Had to turn him off. He’s overdosed on the barackool-aid.

It is because the last “great” senator we had in this state was Everett Dirksen. And Everett had the good sense and sensibility to NOT want to run for President, ever.

B.O. is no Everett Dirksen.

Nor will he ever be.

This is a guy who needs to be publically humiliated in the worst way possible.

People of Mars!

People of Pluto!

People of Saturn!

Come together. and join hands.. Right now, over me…

Fixed it for you.

“Here come Obama he come groooovin’ up slowly
he got joo-joo eyeballs
he one holy roller
He got crowds bendin’ to their knees
Just say ‘Yes We Can’ and you can catch his disease!
Come together, right now over me…”

I do wonder about the “this is our moment” thing in another country. We in the US all know this is our moment because it’s an election year, and every 4 years, according to one candidate or another, we are on the brink of losing it– it is our moment.
But is it Germany’s moment? They are happy with their leadership. They aren’t in Iraq. They aren’t terribly involved in Afghanistan. I’m guessing their moment was 60 years ago or 16 or so years ago. Maybe this is just another year to them.

MayBee on July 24, 2008 at 10:29 PM

Exactly what I was wondering. In what way is this supposed to be Germany’s or the world’s moment? What arrogance, for an American politician to give such a message. And they call Bush arrogant!

inominatus at 10:02

Yeah! I forgot about that. BO/Nikolai.

It is fun to do the same for Obama’s speeches (to say nothing of his stagecraft)…Jetzt ist unserer Moment. Jetzt ist unsere Zeit. Wir sind die einige, auf wen wir gewartet haben.

… I think Obama owes Billy Thorpe a royalty check. I was a little disappointed that Farrakhan couldn’t arrange for the Mother Ship to appear in the sky over Berlin and beam Obama up at the end of his speech.

I never had much use for Bill Clinton, but I understood why people voted for him, after the awful campaigns Bush the Elder and Bob Dole ran. I thought Al Gore was a scary freak years before he degenerated into self-parody, but I could understand why he had supporters. I thought John Kerry was an absurd joke, but I knew Bush hatred would get him a sizable chunk of votes. Anybody who votes for Barack Obama is complete idiot, period.

39 seconds in:
“I never thought you were a fool, but darlin look at you, you’ve got to stand up straight and carry your own weight, these tears are goin nowhere, baby, you’ve got to get yourself together , your stuck in the moment and now you can’t get out of it, don’t say that later will be better, your stuck in the moment and you can’t get out of it.”

This is good and younger generational way of poking fun at the big eared egomaniacal messiah

Don’t you get it? Frank Luntz declared that this was the greatest speech of Barry’s career! Maybe you need a hearing aid and some glasses or something.

Buy Danish on July 24, 2008 at 10:25 PM

I just think Frank Luntz’s rug is sewn on a little too tight…
