The inevitable disillusionment that comes when one realizes they’ve been suckered is a feature with this gimmick, and not a bug.

Decoder ring? Heh- “Be sure to drink your Ovaltine”.

I love that movie.

I’m sure someone at HA will pass along Obamasiah’s VP, so I don’t have to give out my cell # for liberal fundraising groups.

Ralphie’s been Barack-Rolled.

Be Sure to vote for Obummer!
(Secret message from Amy Carter.)

But what if my box of Cracker Jack doesn’t have a secret Obama decoder ring…

It’s a great movie. However I started watching it with my kids last Christmas and realized how inappropriate it is for 5 and 7 year olds.
I’m guessing the super secret text message will come after the Mainstream Sycophants get theirs and all messages will come with an opportunity to donate to the Great Obamassiah. I wonder if he gets a cut of the text messaging fee. A tithe if you will.

Be sure to drink you cool aid!

We just saw a video of every Obama supporter on the first Wednesday in November.

One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

Ralphie, Obama would tell you that you don’t need that Red Ryder. “You’ll shoot your eye out with that thing.” Besides, Obama supports strict gun control, except when he’s supporting the 2nd Amendment.

Is that North or South Decoder?
Dr. Charles G. Waugh on August 11, 2008 at 6:50 PM
That was funny, I felt so bad for Ralphie.
Terrye on August 11, 2008 at 7:00 PM
….are you one, Herbert?
liquidflorian on August 11, 2008 at 7:07 PM
Finally, a decoder ring!!! Now I may have a chance to understand all the nuance that Obama says I’ve just been too simple to get.

A decoder ring might also come in handy for decyphering racist code words.
Frozen Tex on August 11, 2008 at 7:16 PM
I think Ed has been dying to post that video :D
William Teach on August 11, 2008 at 7:24 PM
LOL.
This is an exclusive all right. Obama fans will be the only ones who get tons of text message spam for the rest of their life after the Obama Campaign sells the phone list.
Dusty on August 11, 2008 at 7:26 PM
Text messages, cool hand symbols, authoritarian-looking posters. Has anyone told Obama that junior high school students can’t vote?
Cicero43 on August 11, 2008 at 7:37 PM
More than I’ve wanted that Red Ryder BB rifle!
Ed Morrissey on August 11, 2008 at 7:42 PM
They’ll really be bummed when the sexy leg lamp breaks.
JammieWearingFool on August 11, 2008 at 7:52 PM
And when you hear what they’re going to say on Nov. 5, they’ll all have their mouths washed out with soap. Lifebuoy.
jon1979 on August 11, 2008 at 7:55 PM
Oooh, it says, “Fra-gee-lay”… It must be Italian.
Texas Rainmaker on August 11, 2008 at 8:24 PM
The secret circle!
Be sure to drink your ovaltine,
sounds like,
Be sure to drink your koolaid!
Then,vote Obama! hehe

“er…” = I misspoke but won’t admit it.
“ah…” = I need to hide my incompetence.
“uh…” = I’ll try to lie my way out of this.
“um…” = That’s not the ___ I know.
whitetop on August 11, 2008 at 9:18 PM
Obama- a crummy commercial.
And you don’t even get a lousy leg lamp as a prize.
Just a hand in your pocket.
Picking.
profitsbeard on August 11, 2008 at 9:22 PM
You are on a roll tonight! Great stuff!
Zorro on August 11, 2008 at 9:37 PM
Where’s the content warning, Ed?
Talk about contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
“Here, little kid, say these cute words.”
Despicable.

Speaking of legs… somehow, I cannot imagine Darren McGavin watching O’Tard giving a speech and saying “I felt a thrill go up my leg”.
Hey Barry… I double-dog dare you to touch your tongue to a flagpole on Jan. 20th in Chicago; you won’t have anything better to do anyway.

As he gets closer and closer to the nomination, Senator Obama seems to simultaneously be getting more and more….strange.
For me, the most disquieting thing is that poster. I don’t know whether he’s channeling Big Brother or Nehemiah Scudder.
I have found previous Presidential candidates unnerving (Carter), suspicious (Nixon), and possibly mentally unstable (Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich).
But Senator Obama is the first one, on either side, that activates my “genuinely creepy” reaction mode. Even Hillary didn’t succeed in tripping that one.
(But she came close.)
