  1. When was this?
    I guess a while back, before he won the nomination but does anyone know when?

  2. Kind of puts that insanely huge ~$700 million of campaign spending into context and also reveals the need for the 1/2 hour infomercial.

    As to the mega spending on his own campaign, which has dwarfed combined spending on previous presidential campaigns, Barrack Hussein Obama reveals an undercurrent of desperation, when we are supposedly in a financial crisis. Unfortunately BHO simply has no sense of proportion, nor proper context, of the times in which he is speaking. This reveals a fundamental disconnect with the audience, other than the bread and circus aspect, which he does remarkably well.
    A little bit of meditation on Mark 8:36 would have prevented this unseemly display of spending in tough economic times.
    “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Mark 8:36
    So much for the Rev. Wright “God Damn America” nonsense. Ain’t gonna happen, to Hell with that idea.
    I think the standard for some time has been “God BLESS America.”
    I gather that is why the US imprints the following on their currency:
    “IN GOD WE TRUST”
    But BHO pays in cash.
    Sometimes a dash of humility, goes a long long way.

  3. sooz:
    Because the war room of the McCain campaign is filled with quavering cowards who are afraid of Obama and O’s campaign which has zero compunction about calling every attack on The Mighty O an act of “racism” (express or implied).
    That’s why.  If it had been me in the War Room, I would’ve pounded that particular interview out the door about one minute after the campaign started, and f**k ’em if they can’t take a joke.  Retail politics is not for the faint of heart nor the PC crowd.

  4. Hans,
    A whole lot of Biblical scripture that I have heard and read over the years have come to mind in the past few weeks. I may not remember the exact quote(s), but some do come to mind, somewhat paraphrased.
    “The Devil can appear as an angel of light.” is one of them.
    Some passages describing the Anti-Christ and how the populace accepts him, but I don’t think Barack is him, but the descriptions do come to mind.
    But the lyric from Johnny Cash’s song “The Man comes around”,
    “multitudes marching to the big kettle drum” is somewhat appropriate.
    As with most elections it is always the case of voting for the lesser of the two evils. But in this case it appears that the soul of America might be at stake.

  5. GaryinWpg:
    I used to live in St. Boniface, the Apostle of the Germans, a ways back.
    Agreed, Barrack as Anti Christ is overreaching.
    But hey its All Saints Day, so we’ll go with the Army of Angels! Frankenstein is sooo Halloweenish.
    Heaven and earth can be moved. And the reading for today:
    Matthew 5:1-12a
    1 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to him. 2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. 7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. 8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. 10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven.
    The Life of Brian suggested:
    “Blessed are the cheesemakers.”
    So when the Danes come over to Hans Island they should be prepared with Tilsit and Harvarti!

  6. Not only did McCain miss the boat, but Sean Hannity could have replaced some of his rhetoric with this clip. It’s worth a thousand words.

  7. Just got rid of a BHO Trojan. Took 3 hours to clean it out. I wonder how long America will take to heal after this guy makes mines an even deeper democratic the wound in the Republic Of the USA? After all where all still suffering the pangs of Jimmy “Rabbit kill” Carters 4 years from hell.
    Comparing our own virus of Trudeauopia with the carnage to democracy, of that personality cult. Its taken 40 years to even begin to scrub the Nation of the taint. This Uber Socialist will try to enslaves them threw government programs. That they will only see a miniscule amount of tax monies go to while the bureaucracy feasts on the rest, with the cream going to the top. That’s if he wins. Personally I think it will be a McCain landslide in revolt of the media. Its my prayer anyway.

  8. She meant to say he no Nada comprende Capitalism!
    She now says, he still no comprende Nada!

  9. I do think that Biblical prophecy can help us understand these times — but to be accurate, the popular notion of “antichrist” is a misreading of different passages. We should be on the lookout for the spirit of antichrist, an eruption of demons from the abyss of the bottomless pit, and the general ascendancy of satanic influences that include deception of the unwary.
    If Obama is not a prince of this movement, then he is deceiving me in a different way than I perceive that he is deceiving America’s progressive and liberal voters.
    However, he is but one of many, we have them on our side of the border too, and they have been in general more successful here than in America up until this year.
    A very dark time will follow if he succeeds in being elected, on nothing more than illusion and vague reference to “oppression” that is actually better described as “personal irresponsibility” and which is what got America into the mess that he proposes to save it from. This is very much like calling the arsonist to put out the fire.

  10. Marion Pearson, Lester B.’s wife, quipped,
    “Behind every successful man there’s a … surprised woman.”
    I think that’s the best!!
    Maybe that explains that look on Michelle’s face of “I can’t believe this is happening,” while trying to put on a good show for the cameras.
