Every time I see that little man behind a desk I think of Alfred E. Neuman, and he’s about as reassuring to boot.
Maquis on November 27, 2008 at 3:07 PM
Why does the President elect put out these videos? This seems very strange. Has any president elect ever been this eager to override the sitting president?
Count to 10 on November 27, 2008 at 3:09 PM
Obama is a megalomaniac, and he’s as overexposed as Britney Spears.

Start counting the silverware! Why do I get the feeling we are being set up? I suspect this guy isn’t going to be the moderate so many Milquetoast conservatives think he is.

Weekly addresses from the Rectangular Office?
exception on November 27, 2008 at 3:17 PM
He’s already resigned the Senate, but he’s not yet in the Oval Office. What’s up with the desk, flag, etc.?? Has he really got a two-month lease on some office space somewhere just to look official when making these vids?
innominatus on November 27, 2008 at 3:17 PM
Does anyone else see that this is just another skit from SNL? I’m still waiting for the punch line…or the line leading to the koolaide.
rich801 on November 27, 2008 at 3:17 PM
It’s so weird and off-putting to me that he can’t resist imposing himself prematurely like this.
Of course, my Obamabot cult member roommate can’t get enough.

You know, SNL could be do a funny on our black Jimminy Carter redux. Opps, did I say black? I meant diverse president…kay?

I think overexposure point was reached by late July, if not before. But then I was never a fan.

Good grief, he’s so full of himself it’s unbelievable. Official seals, parthenons, the Euro visit, and press conference after press conference and now a Thanksgiving address? I’m sick of him already. bleah. Good thing I haven’t eaten yet.
scalleywag on November 27, 2008 at 3:50 PM
This Thanksgiving weekend, we should all be thankful, and sing, “Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama, OOOBAMA OOOBAMA… We can change the world!” Thank Obama, for Obama.

I and everyone for the last eight years or have been subjected to the photo-shops and the references equating George W. Bush with a lower life form.
Would it be Politically Incorrect, or even racist, if I were to now refer to Barack Hussein Obama as the CHIMPEROR? I look forward to referring to him as such over the next 4 years, and perhaps longer, so I’d really like to know.
After all, what’s good for the goose…
FlatFoot on November 27, 2008 at 3:53 PM
AHAHAHAHA, I love it. You’ll be called a racist no matter what you call him, so go ahead. Comes with the territory, presidents have been spoofed since I can remember but none as viciously as Bush was.
scalleywag on November 27, 2008 at 3:58 PM
I feel more secure just knowing that the Office of the President-Elect never sleeps.
Cicero43 on November 27, 2008 at 4:05 PM
I think Obama should grow a beard like Lincoln.
abinitioadinfinitum on November 27, 2008 at 4:05 PM
It’s not just the 2-year long cavalcade of Barackopolistic antics and his constant squawking from some self-designed imagination-come-to-life pedestal, long before he has been inaugurated, but the resemblance is uncanny too.

I think Obama is coming on strong as the President-elect with the hope it may inoculate him from the upcoming brouhaha at the Supreme Court over his eligibility.
TeleL on November 27, 2008 at 4:18 PM
Perfect, LOL
abinitioadinfinitum on November 27, 2008 at 4:18 PM
The guy does everything well as long as it isn’t , you know, actual stuff.
I think Barry would be very happy just being “President-elect”- so much easier and he doesn’t have to deal with mean reporters who won’t stick to the script provided to them.
jjshaka on November 27, 2008 at 4:20 PM
I suspect that would require a lot more testosterone than our little Barry possesses.
AZCoyote on November 27, 2008 at 4:23 PM
This little twirp should be pouring mint tea at a Taliban “get out the sharia” rally. Maybe we might get lucky and he will blow himself up while making some bombs with his boy bill ayers. So much for affirmative action.

There is an inherent danger in allowing an egomaniac to control the most powerful military force in the world.

Why doesn’t he just tell Bush to bail out now so he can actually start giving us the hope & change? Can’t start laying on hands and performing miracles until he’s
ordainedsworn in.Wait…he is doing something. Which, as always for the pathetically unqualified, frighteningly arrogant Osama Obama, means he is shooting off his mouth.
Can we deduct the two years he has been running for president and the three weeks he has been playing at being president from his four years? Please?
MrScribbler on November 27, 2008 at 4:54 PM
this is the most pathetically grandiose, arrogant, disrespectful, narcissistic turd I have ever witnessed in my life. never have i seen a “president-elect” vault himself above a sitting president, sending daily briefings to the “followers” of the “movement”. it is just utterly disturbing.
sandlin71 on November 27, 2008 at 4:54 PM
This man and his ego are going to drive me loony over the next 4 years. He is stepping all over George Bush in his last months.
3 press conferences in 3 days, faux oval office videos, and whatever else he has planned in the next few months is his way of saturating our brains with all Obama all the time.
This is how tyrants work. Enough already.
Phony crapster he is. My turkey and stuffing is coming up…excuse me for a minute….

The President-elect wishes he could be in your living room right now stealing your pie while you’re passed out with your hands in your pants.
chunderroad on November 27, 2008 at 5:25 PM
I thought he said “we only have one President at a time”. Sure doesn’t seem like it. I have never seen a President Elect act in such a pompous and narcissistic way. Instead of sending a press release announcing his cabinet/new government picks, he has held press conference after press conference since being elected. Seems like the most dangerous place in the USA is between Obama and a camera.
Also, I posted the above to Hopenchange’s Youtube channel with this video, and it wasn’t posted. Free speech is dead.
FLcapitalistthug on November 27, 2008 at 5:27 PM
He had me at “…save 2.5 million new jobs”. The man can make utter nonsense sound like just plain nonsense. I don’t know how he does it.

Oh, c’mon. How can you argue with THIS quote?
“It is the State which educates its citizens in civic virtue, gives them a consciousness of their mission and welds them into unity!”
Oh, wait. My bad.

I wish you people would show our President-elect some respect.
Whether you and I like it or not (and we don’t), he’s going to have to lead us.
I say, give him some time and watchdog him.
Be grateful you live in America, my friends. PLEASE!
HotAirJosef on November 27, 2008 at 5:45 PM
He’s your President, and I’m just glad for every minute he won’t ruin or end an American’s life, because he really doesn’t care.
chunderroad on November 27, 2008 at 5:48 PM
During the last 8 years, the Left has called President Bush “Bushhitler”, accused him of war crimes, called him a drunkard, etc. Dissent is the element of democracy not found in other regimes. Your use of the word respect is not accurate. I think you really mean deference, which is completely different.
FLcapitalistthug on November 27, 2008 at 5:49 PM
I would have thought you were a funny sock puppet, if you signed your name Juan McAmnesty.
chunderroad on November 27, 2008 at 5:50 PM
“I wish you people would show our President-elect some respect”
He deserves the same amount of respect the left gave Bush.
It’s all a game to this Fool. He’s just running his Saul Alinsky shell-game. He could care flipping less about the country. It’s about power, and socialism. He’s attempting to get to the second without losing the first. In another era he would be Lenin shaking his fist from the Kremlin.
notagool on November 27, 2008 at 5:50 PM
Respect for what? What has the man ever done in his life that is worthy of respect?
sharrukin on November 27, 2008 at 5:52 PM

i think, unlike the left, the right will show, as we did on Nov 5, that we have way more class than most on the other end of the spectrum. if obambi had lost, our cities would still be smoldering. i am soo grateful to be living in the US, but i won’t now, nor will i EVER stop defending our way of life, or stop giving voice to those who oppose its destruction.

I noticed that earlier, too. I can play that game!
“I’m going to conquer our Muslim aggressors OR prevent us from being conquered!”
“I’m going to get a mission to Mars OR fund more telescope-based exploration!”
“I’m going to have a go to the Superbowl OR have a season that isn’t the worst on record.”
Or, essentially what any US Senator says…
“I’m going to run for President and get into the White House OR continue serving my constituents from my Senatorial position.”
Nethicus on November 27, 2008 at 6:04 PM
It’s a knee-jerk response for anyone to think it’s strange. We have been conditioned to think the Republican’s whining (”We can’t get our message out because of the media”) is truthful. When actually the silent Republicans don’t want to put their face on a conservative message and fight the liberal hordes.
Anytime it’s been brought up on HotAir that Rep should be utilizing modern technology (that is mostly free) to destroy the Leftists, there is always a majority that mocks that idea, saying that noone uses the internet, they only watch CNN.
Obama is laughing at these morons. I despise him, but he is good on this stuff, and totally within his bounds. It just doesn’t seem so due to our conditioning of the intentionally silent republican politicians (except for the fizzled “drill here, drill now” that lasted for a few weeks). They let conservative talk radio do their “dirty work” for them, but that is a complete failure. They’ll never learn!
Obama was probably saying “why isn’t anyone doing this? Are they cowards? I can’t believe they are not crushing us and exposing our lies in these readily available formats. Why is HotAir and other conservative blogs not doing videos anymore? Hmmmm…. I guess I’ll step up and they can all whine like babies, while being crushed like ants.”

NOTTAKINGSIDES:
Obomba is in love with himself. He has to do these videos, he needs to hear what god is saying and since he is his own god he just got his fill.
I agree that Conservatives should do more videos. But not just to hear ourselves talk. PLEASE HAVE A MESSAGE!
And I am taking sides.
Mercy4Me on November 27, 2008 at 6:29 PM
Your saying so doesn’t make it so or refute that Obama is a megalomaniac / fascist tool.
Sure, the Dems are ahead in their technological competency and use of text messaging to rally their zombie hordes. This lame broadcast is as underwhelming as the Berlin speech, the Mile High rally and the infomercial. Americans just want him to get to work and deliver results. The campaign’s finished.
chunderroad on November 27, 2008 at 6:34 PM
I can’t stomach watching this at the moment. I just ate…a lot.
But just the freeze frame makes me ill. I abhor this man. I really do, and I don’t care if that is disrespectful, because he has done nothing to earn my respect. I respect the office of the President of the USA, but he’s not there yet. So STOP ACTING LIKE YOU ARE, BO! George W. Bush is my president!

Ironic to hear him speak of “lasting pride in America”. So far, according to the Obama’s America is a mean, stingy, bully of a country, and has only done one thing in their adult lives for them to be proud of this country.

Eisenhower went to Korea to scope out the war situation there before being inaugurated. Others have kept a low profile while the sitting President finished his term.
But not Osama Obama, oh no! He’s large and in charge! And he reminds us of that, daily.
He has done nothing in his entire life to merit the power the voters just gave him. He deserves no respect; he parlayed a dark skin into an undeserved “career.”
If he manages to do anything worthy of respect, I will begin to respect him. Until then, I consider the office of the President vacant between Jan. 20, ‘09 and Jan. 20, ‘13.
MrScribbler on November 27, 2008 at 7:12 PM
NO. Screw him. And don’t tell us what to think on this blog.We think for ourselves. What do you call a creep like Obama who’s both ridiculous and depressing? He’s just trying to control us with his misery. We are a positive and optimistic people..that’s how come Sarah Palin appeals to even the most skeptical among us. Let’s make sure Obama is not elected to a second term. We will all have to tread water his first term. He has not sworn allegiance to these United States and in my opinion, not qualified or worthy of the Presidency.

He may or may not have a psych disorder, but I doubt you or anyone else knows for sure. Sounds like ODS on your part.
I am an American, and I DON’T want him to get to work OR deliver or execute ANY of his plans.
The broadcast may be lame to you, but it is effective with the liberal morons (his base). Unfortunately we don’t have anyone rallying us, just still debating how far left we need to go to win in 2010/12. Pathetic.

I will never show Obama ANY respect whatsoever. He will intentionally attempt to destroy the US as we know it.
I don’t want him to lead us. I want him to fail miserably and not be able to execute anything of the socialist/Marxist policies he has promoted. I hope he fails miserably in his quest to make the US defenseless against terrorist attacks, and his promise to cut the military spending and defense systems. I wish him the worse, which will be the best thing that ever happened for the US.
You and McCain can snuggle up to Obama and the Leftists all you want. Feel free to welcome the soft tyranny with open arms and keep silent, until it’s too late. Good plan comrade!
nottakingsides on November 27, 2008 at 7:41 PM
I plan to show him the same respect and consideration that the Democrats showed to George Bush, no more, no less.
