Joe Klein… the guy who called McCain “scurrilous” on a cable CNN news show yesterday when discussing JSM’s comment about how he’d rather lose an election than the war, and how BHO would rather lose the war than the election.
Guess he can’t take the spade being labeled a spade. BHO has done everything possible for failure in Iraq. Advocated withdrawal of US troops when violence was at all time highs, signed onto DNC/MoveOn legislation to try and force withdrawal. Hang, even today, knowing the results in Iraq, he still can’t bring himself to say he want’s to “win”. He can only say “we have no choice”.
This is a Commander in Chief? No. This is a sleazy opportunist.
And BTW… those big crowds in Berlin? He did the same trick he did in Portland, OR. Had two of Germany’s most popular bands open for him. In other words, most the crowd there just may have been present for the free concert, and not the annointed one. Devil in the details, and all for show….
Taken from the transcript of the prepared text to Citizen Barack’s Berlin speech:
Oh, wait…..he didn’t say that last paragraph did he? George W. Bush has already taken that one off the table for him (as well as done more than any other president in fighting AIDS in Africa with U.S. taxpayer money). Instead, Obama’s left with this one:
Yes, and that’s also thanks to George W. Bush’s leadership. No thanks, to you, Senator Obama:
MA, where did you find the info that he spoke before 100,000 in Germany? AP reported it to be 200,000 (second paragraph):
I find most crowd estimates to be dubious and I am not surprised when two estimates vary by 100%. I loved the line about Germans going overboard for messianic speakers – nice little tweak!
MDenis39, altho you are addressing Mike’s A, this Spiegel report also says 200,000 there to listen to free concert… oops, Obama.
Newsbusters report for the Berlin concert, with opening acts of Patrice (reggae) and Reamonn (rock).
Also the Newsbuster link about the Portland, OR concert with the Decembrists opening.
Also heard it on Rush as well. No surprise that AP or other media outlets conveniently bypassed the incentive to attend BHO’s speech… conflicts with their agenda, eh?
MataHarley-
Really gets your goat doesn’t it? Your greatest nightmare drawing huge crowds while campaigning. And, imagine this, having musical groups warm up the crowd.
The very idea!
Of course The Decemberists tour extensively mainly playing concerts in 1,000 to 2,500 capacity venues. Not exactly U2 nor the Stones. They appear often in Oregon and are popular but not likely to draw a huge crowd to a free concert in Portland. Obama, on the other hand, did.
As for Berlin, Patrice (Reggae) plays European festivals and clubs. Not arenas. Not a huge deal.
Reamonn has toured in support of Brian Adams in Europe but isn’t known much beyond the Baltic republics.
The idea that huge crowds are turning out to listen to these groups rather than hear Obama is ludicrous. Which is why, of course, Newsbusters ran with it.
I’m thinking if John McCain can get Wayne Newton to warm up the crowd with Danke Schon he could really ignite his campaign.
This speaks for itself.
MDennis: 100,000 was the early estimate I saw immediately as the speech was concluded. I have updated the total.
Astounding that more people in Berlin would rather see an empty suit deliver an empty speech than voters in this country.
I saw a photo of a man holding a sign that translated (the man had the audacity to use his native German) “Obama for Chancellor.”
Perhaps Obama could change his nationality and run for head of Germany. He sure does have more in common with the messianic qualities Germans so admire in their leaders.
Anyone else hear some buzzing around on this thread? Like a gnat loose or sumpthin’??
I did. But I got out a can of extra strength pesticide and hosed down the computer. That seemed to help.

That, and free food. You don’t really think they would have showed up without the bait, do you? I mean, why offer food and music if he’s so captivating all by his lonesome?.
The ad they ran for it may have looked something like…
Auf English?
And, O’Bummer doesn’t speak any foreign language, so he’s none the wiser.
Obie – “They love me. They really love me!”
Aide – “Uh, sure, Boss, yeah, they …uh, …love ya.”
The only thing that was missing was the book burning and torchlight parade!
ACHTUNG! You vill attend the Obama rally or spend 30 days in za cooler Col. Hogan!
The only thing that was missing was the book burning and torchlight parade! — M.A.
If he had a sense of history, he’s save it for Nuremburg. But, being an ignoramous, he might just have it in Berlin.
(eat your heart out, Obie. Der Infuriator didn’t give ‘em food, and only military music, but look at those crowds. Kind of makes yours look pretty pathetic, doesn’t it, you second rate fascist, you.)
UPDATE: O.K., I STAND CORRECTED Berlin WAS one location of the co-ordinated book-burnings that took place all over Germany.
UPDATE – LOLOL!!! good photo addition!
“Sorry, Comandanat, no dice. Poor Shultz can’t escort me, he has to guard the camp. Besides, he is alergic to foreigners who are stupider than he is! – …but, if you’re going, maybe you could you bring us back a shnitzel?”
UPDATE: More on how to rewrite history, as the Stoners would love to do, if only they could.
How about this Yonason:
LOLOL – IT’S PERFECT! (especially Shultz)

I understand Mata.
I too would be embarassed by your post and would want to ignore it.
Cheers.

That’s feeble even for you Mike.
But I bet yonason exploded in laughter.
This is interesting:

Free food. (No host bar).
Free music.
Tits.
Once again, stoner remains true to form, and contributes to the best of his abilities.

Who???
“Who???” – MataHarley
If you are refering to who I mean by “Stoner” it’s arthurSTONE.
If you are referring to something/someone else, I haven’t a clue.
Here’s a baby picture I found of Stoner. Isn’t he a cutie?!

Mike’s America
Nice! Must have been those shnitzels that won him over.
Where is zero’Boomer going next? Maybe we can make this as international a mocking in our way as he is in his? (though I’m not sure we’ll have as good material for any others as we have with Germany via Hogan’s Heros.)
LOL… I guess the point I was trying to make, Yon, was that one has to acknowledge the existence of anyone by that name. I don’t. Generally I am not bothered, nor pay attention to, the pesky gnats that swarm the planet.
OK. I was just trying to convey the nature of his posts by analogy to that great image. They are like fly spit: tiny and noxious. It also fits with your infestation theme, which is quite appropriate.
“free stuff if you vote for me” — Oh Bummer
maybe that’s why he’s doing it in Germany?
Yonason: Don’t hold your breathe to see Obamessiah held accountable for vote buying.
