What I find most amazing about the Obama fest in the media
ME

Posted on 07/14/2008 10:26:07 AM PDT by rexgrossmansonlyfan

The media is citing young and international support as a big reason Obama would make a great President.

KEYWORDS: election; n00bvanity; obama
What I find most interesting and amazing about the media coverage is how many cite Excitement among Young People and International Support as reasons Obama would make a great President.

Wait a second here.

The same generation who has made Paris Hilton a superstar, made reality tv what it is and loves Jerry Springer is the best people to look for to chose a President?

International support is a reason to vote for someone?

Voting for someone because the international community likes him is like having the opposing manager make out the Cubs lineup.

Not to mention them calling him a great leader when the man has never lead anything.

Thanks for the welcome here everyone! Love it here and am completely addicted.

Seriously. A president should follow the Constitution and be able to lead and make decisions.

It’s a joke that people would vote based on popularity (both in the US and internationally) and his ability to “connect” with young people. Heck I’m young (and black) and I hate the guy. Well his policies anyway. I’m sure he’s nice.

Welcome to FR.

a. “Young people” will forget to vote. Something else of great importance will come up for them that day.

b. Who gives a rip what the REST of the world thinks? They don’t vote in our elections. Well, legally, that is.

c. Thank you for playing.

Just keep reminding them that Election Day is the first Wednesday in November, as Hannity does with his liberal callers ... :^)

LOL! I’ll take up that torch. I have two 18 year olds that are head over heels excited to be able to vote for Obama this year.

I’m going to make sure they have to work double shifts that day...because I know d@mn well they won’t get up early to go vote before work, LOL!

(Just kidding. Let them make their own youthful mistakes. We’ve all done it.)
