Obamamania Unabated - Marcel Offermann’s Obama Doll
Trend Hunter ^ | June 21, 2008

Apparently, the Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama is a rock star in Germany. So German expert toymaker Marcel Offermann decided to create a doll in the likeness of the junior senator from Illinois.

The 14-inch doll is rocking a black suit, complete with a Stars-and-Stripes lapel pin, a white shirt and sky-blue tie. This collector’s doll is available in a limited edition of 999 and it is priced at a hefty €139 ($216).

Offermann, who admits to being an admirer of Obama, has made dolls of public figures such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Pope Benedict XVI and the Dalai Lama.

This is what I think: For starters, the doll does not look a bit like Obama. Moreover, and at the risk of turning an innocuous gesture into something nefarious, that doll looks more to me like those blackfaces that were most commonly used in the minstrel performance tradition which played a significant role in cementing and proliferating racist images, attitudes and perceptions about black people worldwide. That’s what I think.

Hehehe...so a German idolater makes a doll about Obama and does not quite get it right.

The Germans needs to remember their 80 year old history about following media blitz idols..

But Obama's ardent followers (including the MSM) are not swayed by any of that...not by logic, reason, or truth, and regardless of his positions, his gaffes, his past, or his associations, he is an idol and they the idolaters.


Nothing you can say or do will convince these people otherwise...


Because I am the one they and I have been waiting for...and I am lovin' it.

Those wild-eyed people represent the millions of Americans raised in the government day-care and indoctrination centers we call public schools who did not have, or would not listen to, parents and others who tried to counterweight the propaganda they heard at school...who have been raised on 60 second sound bite time spans and know no better.

You have other tens of millions on the dole who will vote for him regardless of position because he promises to keep pilfering the public largess for them.

Still othes of millions will vote for him simply because he is black, not caring to hear or look at his actual positions.

Other millions will vote for him because they know exactly who he is and what he represents and agree with his anti-American positions.

The first three are all what is termed, useful idiots, a term coined by Lennin for the dupes he got to support him.

Against this it is left to us to educate, arouse, and amass the tens of millions of Americans, of all races and creeds, who understand and hold fast to the foundational principles our constitutional republic rests upon...many of them the bitter, rural Americans clinging to their guns and religion that Obama so arrogantly spoke of.

Finally, understand that this is not the first time in history that rock-star, messianic status has been conferred on a populist, charismatic individual in order to hand them the reigns of power. Although there are many critical differences, still it is important when you consider the danger that this candidate poses to American foreign policy, our economy, our social fabric, and to the war we are fighting against fanatical Islamic Jihad terrorists, to note the following comparison:


A populsitic, charismatic, self-serving individual has a way of mesmerizing foolish people looking for an idol...then and now.

Simply put, Barack Hussein Obama is the apex of the hate-America, domestic enemy in this country. His election as president would be the greatest coup any enemy has ever scored against this country and could easily lead to the worst, horrific disaster in our nation's history.

THE AUDACTIY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

What were you expecting from college girls who probably have never paid taxes or worked for a paycheck?

OK, tell me that’s not to be read upside down.

I hear ya and that's a big 10-4!

In the People's Almanac #2, there is a timeline of history and there is a picture of Adolph Hitler being swarmed by German youth. The picture was joined by a caption under 1926 where it said that Adolph Hitler had a huge following among German youth. The last sentence was, "the nightmare had begun."

Everytime I see an Obama rally, his groupies act like he was a combination of Elvis, the Beatles and Cheap Trick. I wonder if he is Jim Jones' "love child?" Well, I have another image of his groupies in mind, Disney did a cartoon in the early 1940's called "Education in Death," (sometimes called "Little Hans") about a boy who is born, goes into the Hitler Jugend (Youth) and later becomes an SS Soldier. The scene below reminds me of them.

"All Hail Barack Hussein Obama, we want change, change, change!"
