DUmmie FUnnies 03-19-08 (DUmmies Cry Cry CRY Over Obama Speech)
DUmmie FUnnies ^ | March 19, 2008 | DUmmies and PJ-Comix

Posted on 03/19/2008 6:08:30 AM PDT by PJ-Comix

When reading of the DUmmie reaction to Obama's speech yesterday, the Johnny Ray emotion-laden song CRY was brought to mind along with another crying song on the flip side of the same record called THE LITTLE WHITE CLOUD THAT CRIED. This record was released at the end of 1951 and, amazingly, became the #1 and #2 hits respectively. Johnny Ray was noted for giving over the top performances of these songs in which he would almost always break out with tears flowing down his face. One possible reason for the emotional performances is that Ray probably realized that his career was over even before the release of the songs because of his arrest due to a "wide-stance" type of situation in a burlesque theater bathroom shortly before he shot to fame. Ray flamed out early after these songs were released but they are considered an early precursor to rock'n'roll. Okay enough with the musicology lesson for today but the best way to read this DUmmie THREAD titled, "Michelle Obama and others seen crying after Barack's Speech," is while listening to these "Cry" songs. So let us now watch the DUmmies Cry Cry CRY over the Obama speech in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, thinking that Ray's "The Little White Cloud That Cried" could serve as a great source for another Charles Henrickson song parody to join his "Cry" parody, is in the [brackets]:

Michelle Obama and others seen crying after Barack's Speech

[If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye
It's no secret you'll feel better if you cry
When waking from a bad dream
Don't you sometimes think it's real?
But it's only false emotions that you feel.]

The candidate's wife, Michelle Obama, sat in the front row during the speech. She was very emotional and could be seen crying backstage after the speech was over, given the subject matter of her husband's oratory.

[If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep getting bluer with each song
Remember sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky
So let your hair down and go on and cry.]

The truth shall set you free! Now I feel like crying.

[I went walkin' down by the river
Feeling very sad inside
When all at once I saw in the sky
The little white cloud that cried.

I'm tearing up just reading ABOUT it.. I can only imagine when I actually take the time to listen to Obama's Speech.

[He told me he was very lonesome
And no one cared if he lived or died
And said sometimes the thunder and lightning
Make all little clouds hide.]

If you didn't cry, someone needs to check your pulse. It was a speech that christens an era.

[He said "Have faith in all kinds of weather"
"For the sun will always shine"
"Do your best and always remember"
"The dark clouds pass with time"]

My eyes got a little teary... but prior to the speech sitting through Pat Buchanan's screeching bombastic view of America made me weep. Desolation followed by the "Audacity of Hope".

[He asked me if I'd tell all my world
Just how hard those little clouds try
That's how I know I'll always remember
The little white cloud that sat right down and cried.]

It brought tears to my eyes.

[If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep getting bluer with each song
Well now, remember sunshine can be found
Behind a cloudy sky
So let your hair down and go right on and cry.]

Sing it.

[Johnny Ray already did.]

I am about to tear up again seeing this photograph.

[The photo above makes me laugh so hard it brings tears to my eyes.]

okay okay I admit that I love obama too but I also know that after this Wright thing he can NOT win the GE and I wish that he would....listening to his speech today i shed tears too and I am a Hillary supporter

[Killjoy!]

Your post has touched me more than any other I've read today

[It makes me want to break out a hanky and Cry Cry CRY!]

i started to tear up while reading the text on my phone at a restaurant. i had to stop reading it.

[Did you order a teardrop tomato salad?]

He's too good for us

[WE ARE NOT WORTHY!!!]

This was a very profound, moving day! I will never forget it!

[Did you smoke a cigarette afterwards?]

I teared up at work. Anyone who has a heart and cares for his/her fellow man/woman cannot help but be moved. The safe thing to have done would have been to throw Wright under the bus. But he didn't. He showed that, as an imperfect person himself, he loved another imperfect person. And what he said is that all of us, with all of our imperfections, working together, are the best thing about this country.

[Instead Obama safely threw his white grandmother under the bus by accusing her of being a racist.]

Fortunately, I sneezed about two minutes later and had an excuse for the tearing up.

[KAZUNHEIT!]

Wow. the speech didn't make me cry but this thread is choking me up.

[Sniff!]

I missed the live telecast, but couldn't wait to read the text when I got back to the office. Once I found it, I shared the speech with my coworker. As we were reading it, we would turn to each other every few minutes to share what we were feeling.

[Did you cry on each others' shoulders?]

I just watched it again..I am such a pussy. Where the f*ck did I put the freaken kleenex?

[In Johnny Ray's pocket.]

Arghh.. enough crying already. My eyes are bout swollen shut. How long has it been since we were so proud of something, or something in our country, that it made us CRY?

[When John Kerry won by a landslide in the 2004 exit polls.]

When my mother listened to it a few hours ago, she told me she cried at the end

[Pied Piper Pitt cried to the tune of "Tears of a Clown."]

I called in sick so I could watch it. I was seen crying in my recliner. My tough husband--who didn't cry when his father died--came home from work and blubbered like a baby.

[Obama giving a CYA speech is so much more emotional than the death of a parent.]

Obama could read the phone book and some people would faint clear away.

[And leave the yellow pages wet with tears.]

Well, I'm certainly no prevayor of doggerel as you are, but I'll stand in on this one since you're tied up...

Grandma Got Run Over By Obama

To the tune of "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer

Grandma got run over by Obama
in his defense of nasty reverend Wright.
He accused her of offensive remarks.
Yet said the reverend’s hate speech was insight.

Obama’s been imbibin' all that hate speech.
Goin’ on about these 20 years.
But Grandma’s few and subtle little remarks,
made him cringe and really clasp his ears.

Now he’s thrown her under his campaign bus,
and has stabbed her memory in the back.
His backstabbing’s now his legacy,
and he's become another racist hack.

Grandma got run over by Obama
in his defense of nasty reverend Wright.
He accused her of offensive remarks.

Leftists try to morally equivocate all the time.

Usually, they try to justify their positions which are anti-American (socialism, racism, etc), with things that are perfectly acceptable, like Gerry’s remark, and being pro-American (anti our enemies).

I'm tearing up just reading ABOUT it..

I would like to tear up his speech and write one for him that tells the truth about his close relationship with the not-so-Reverend Wrong, uuh I mean Wright.

Isn't excessive emotionalism over trivial events a warning sign of a mental breakdown soon to come?

Maybe not, the DUmmy's husband probably faked the crying just to make her feel a bit better about being the moronic moonbat she really is.

I’m not at Charles’ level of doggerel by any stretch of the imagination. But he’s busy during Holy Week, so I thought I’d give it a shot.

Charles, and everyone here, a blessed Easter awakening to all...

So vote for Hillary. She's not too good for anybody.

You mean like crying when the terrorists get their @$$e$$ captured or blown away in Iraq, but cheered when America was attacked? Yep, I'd say they are close to a breakdown or just hate America in general.

Maybe not, the DUmmy's husband probably faked the crying just to make her feel a bit better about being the moronic moonbat she really is.

It's probably as genuine and spontaneous as the canned laughter and applause in some "studio audiences".

Thank God I don't work with this person.

The only thing I'd look forward to "sharing" with a co-worker, would be a birthday cake.

You know, I just have to wonder if all the weeping and wailing that the is claimed to be going on at the DUmp is for real.

I have a notion that many of those who say they're crying in their light beer are just trying to impress their fellow DUmmies with how deeply saddened they are by the cruel treatment their heroic, sensitive, high-minded man of the people is getting from the right wing meanies in the world outside DUmmyland and KOSville.

As someone once pointed out that a lot of DUmmies are actually FReeper Trolls trying to out DUmmie the other DUmmies.

One is talking about it on this thread here.
