Obama is such a liberal it is amazing. First off was a propaganda biography that would make Joseph Goebbels proud. Obama talked about his father from Kenya and mother from America following the American dream. Which also, according to the biography, Obama only remembers a month with his father. His mother wanted him and her to follow the American dream – in Indonesia. His father fulfilled his part of the dream taking off for better pastures. 

I have no clue who wrote this crap, but as far as I could tell Obama should be president because he went to a parade for US astronauts. The biography was incoherent and, for those who KNOW his biography, a PR white wash.

When he got into his speech it was doom and gloom and all the fault of someone other than a do-nothing Democrat Congress. Can’t afford the gas, the credit cards, the taxes. His view of America was so negative and pessimistic one wonders why anyone would stay around and try and fix it. Geez, we have veterans sleeping in the streets for heaven’s sake! And in his effort to try and bring a new hope to DC, he was flippant and obnoxious and naive about the issues and his opponents. I heard so many sob stories (which I have lived through and succeeded through) it was just pathetic. He recalls all the others in his life who accomplished something – but he did nothing himself.

There is very little chance this narcissistic and insulting ‘speech’ is going to move the independents. Ho hum – another liberal spewing fantasies and lies. Yes, 20% of this nation is that naive. But 80% aren’t. This is a disaster of a speech.

Obama’s world view is we can do NOTHING on our own. We can do NOTHING without assistance from government. Obama has a serious Santa Claus complex – he wants to ‘help’ all those poor and desperate people who cannot make it on their own and could only succeed with Barack’s help. Ugh.

Inflate your tires! In 10 years we will no longer be dependent on foreign oil – Obama will have outlawed cars.

Update: Obama went into total incoherent mode at the end about not going back or something. And the ending music was so strange and moody one just had to wonder who picked the selection. I had given up on Obama because it was such an endless litany of liberal sob stories and empty rhetoric that my BS meter pegged.

But DJStrata claimed Obama made some snide remark about McCain’s sacrifice:

I love this country, and so do you, and so does John McCain. The men and women who serve in our battlefields may be Democrats and Republicans and Independents, but they have fought together and bled together and some died together under the same proud flag. They have not served a Red America or a Blue America – they have served the United States of America.

So I’ve got news for you, John McCain. We all put our country first.

I bet this sounds worse when on video instead of on paper.  But what McCain has been saying is Obama has not done these things, he doesn’t have the experience.  He has not made tough decisions, risked anything.  I may be old and out of sync with America, but this was a laugher of 3rd grade level platitudes when it was not insulting. Grade – F

Update: Found the video section of Obama’s speech where he tries to challenge McCain’s service to America with that of others (it starts at time mark 5:30 or so):

One thing I do know is the military (who do the sacrificing, bleeding and dying) and their families overwhelmingly support President Bush and Senator McCain. Obama’s attempt to use the sacrifice of others to attack a man who was offered freedom so our enemies could win some PR points, but turned it down and was beaten and isolated for refusing looks cowardly and worse. Obama is no better than those VietCong Kerry embraced so many years ago. He too is willing to use a prisoner of war and his suffering for political gain. This part of the speech is a disaster because Obama is lecturing a man who he cannot stand up to. We know McCain and others sacrificed Barry, we also know you did not to the level they did. Not even close.

There is so much wrong with this speech, every statement a lie or spin it would take hours to tear apart. Thankfully the blogosphere will divvy up the job in the coming days. But to me the speech was just a joke until this part. There will be a backlash – and it will coincide with 9-11 and our last remembrance of that fateful with the President who fought the wars which have kept us safe from attack here at home, and who turned al-Qaeda from the future of Islam in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan to the enemy of Islam in those communities.

I will post more on what this year’s 9-11 anniversary will bring with it being George Bush’s last one in office, but honest people will think back to 9/12/01 and realize that if I had said “you watch, George Bush is going to take care of this and by the time he leaves office the Muslims of Afghanistan and Iraq will not be cheering al-Qaeda, but instead will be hunting with American allies” you would have probably thought I was mad.

If you want to see change then look to Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, where al-Qaeda was cheered and admired in 2001, but is now hunted for horrific crimes against fellow Muslims. al-Qaeda is now the enemy of Islam, not the future of Islam. And that is change no inexperienced fool like Obama could ever hope to achieve. It is also something outside the grasp of those handwringing liberals who refuse to see what has been accomplished in the war on terror. They don’t want change, they want to live in a fantasy world of lies and rhetoric and play Santa Claus to all us needy and helpless people.

Pullease. The change we need is to get past this liberal dribble and reward those who helped create change like this world has not seen since it vanquished Adolf Hitler.
