When I see the obsequious crowds getting emotionally choked up at the thrill of talking to Obama....I feel nauseous. You must be talking about the scruffy skinny ass guy they showed last night on Fox who nearly broke down with the joy of being able to be in the same room with The One. I had the same reaction as you.

When I see the obsequious crowds getting emotionally choked up at the thrill of talking to Obama....I feel nauseous. Not to worry, it won't last. We are arriving at the point where a President must match his on-stage performance with behind-the-scenes achievement for the magic to hold. So far, Obama's team is not performing. When the hat is flourished, but no rabbit is produced, there is a limit to how much good the carnie barker can do...

Last night some young idiot nearly peed his pants with the thrill of seeing the President. It was there on tv and I saw it. I was embarrassed for the man.

"When I see the obsequious crowds getting emotionally choked up at the thrill of talking to Obama....I feel nauseous. At some point Obama is going to have to decide, which one is the One, Moses? or Jesus?.........gag me with a spoon." A few years ago 60 Minutes did a segment on a Saudi prince holding court and dispensing favors. Watching Obama reminds me of the Saudi prince. Soon he will have to realize that the campaign is over - perhaps the markets will bring him to that realization. BTW - he sure did not steal "Tim's" thunder!
