A Rash of New Sites Throws Some Cold Water On the Hot Candidate
It's the nature of the Web -- and, really, of life. What goes up must come down. What's popular becomes too popular. What's seen as hip and hot and cool eventually gets mocked.
Even, yes, Barack Obama.
In recent days, sites have popped up indicating that the ongoing online Obamamania has hit a wall. What kind of wall? A snarky, ironic, this-Obama-thing-has-gotten-over-the-top wall. Obama's smiling mug is mashed up on countless faces on SenatorObamas.com. He's Sumobama. He's Pharaohbama. He's Navajobama, complete with a blue-and-white feathered headdress. The blog Is Barack Obama the Messiah? features a photo of the Illinois senator standing on a flight of stairs, Christlike, above an adoring crowd while a ray of light beams from above.
And on the aptly titled Web site BarackObamaIsYourNewBicycle.com, the candidate caters to all your needs: Barack Obama made your bed . . . Barack Obama folded your laundry . . .

And if elected, Barry Hussein will destroy America.... Do you call him Barry because Limbaugh does?
Which other of your thoughts are not your own?

Some might have, but I doubt that those who applaud him for blowing his nose have

You mean the libs have finally figured out he is an empty suit??? No. The libs have been a small part of Obama's following. Libs think, even with only a small brain. It is the vacuous non-thinkers who may be growing tired of this socialist.

It's nothing like that. The collective have finally realized that 'Obama' sounds like 'Osama'. The left have been fighting for Osama's side for so long that when "Obama" came along, it rolled off their tongue quite easily.
You say Osama
I say Obama ...
You see? It's simple really.
