Did anyone beside me see the TV films of Barry O'Bama's appearence in Seattle yesterday? I couldn't imagine a greater contrast with Richardson.

Every word out of O'Bama's mouth received applause. Women were giddy and almost in tears. Grown men were in love with this guy. It was as though the Second Coming had arrived -- and I say this as an atheist! It was unearthly, and I'm not sure how to react to it -- except via fear.

People actually yearn for this man. It's like the Left has finally discovered the liberal Ronald Reagan.

Yeah, I’d agree with that, I thought that one chick was going to throw her panties at him.......

Perhaps they just think they yearn for him...after all, they read it in the papers!

Now THAT'S scary...shades of David Koresh, Jim Jones....

Oh, yes. Barry O’Bama is definitely a “rock star.” If anything, your description of his appearance as the Second Coming was restrained — it was a political Beatlemania (Barrymania? O’Bamania?)

One can easily see the source of David Ehrenstein’s “Obama the Magic Negro” comment: O’Bama is such a ‘tabula rasa’ that the Left is busily impressing upon him all their wishes, hopes and fantasies. An impossibly tall order ...

Or, to use another analogy, the early 21st Century's John F. Kennedy, except that his wife is nowhere near as attractive as Jacqueline Kennedy was.
