This big-eared dumbo doesn’t have a clue.

Obama and U.S. Senators Chuck Hagel and Jack Reed spent an hour and 45 minutes today with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and his top aides in the presidential palace in Kabul, including a working lunch of traditional Afghan rice, lamb and chicken, spokesman Humayun Hamidzada told reporters. Obama left Afghanistan after the meeting without making any public comment.

He (Obama) also called for more aid to rebuild the war- torn the country, such as money for roads and an electrical network.

This morning on MSNBC the host was talking about McCain and said here is a clip of what McCain said.

Instead the clip was the Joker from Batman. What biased bastards they are.

[Carley]

Wonder what the anti war crowd is thinking right about now.

This idjit can’t buy a clue. Not a shred of intelligence.

Yeah, a campaign trip to change term limits ..he’s going to be president for 8-10 years!

Barack, he changes the levels of oceans, the climate of the globe, starts a civilian national security force, and adds a year to a president’s term ...

So... Now Barry wants to repeal the 22nd Amendment??? Whoa... there Barry O.

The Media really has pumped your head up just a tad bit too much.

You could at least wait until you get elected to do that sort of stuff, and here’s hoping that you never do. The last thing America needs is another narcissist (see Bubba Clinton) as President. LOL

I thought the media couldn’t get more sickening...(check this out)

German Politicians Criticize New Venue For Obama Speech in Berlin

Andreas Schockenhoff, deputy head of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, told Sunday paper Bild am Sonntag: “The Berlin Victory Column is dedicated to the victory over neighbors, who today are our European friends and allies. To me that is an unfortunate imagery.” Rainer Brüderle, deputy leader of the Free Democrats said in the same paper, that the column was moved to its current location by Adolf Hitler. Brüderle added: “For him (Hitler) it was a symbol of German superiority and victorious wars over Denmark, Austria and France. I ask myself whether Obama was well advised to choose the Victory Column as a venue for a speech about his vision for global cooperation.”

ABC News’ Matthew Jaffe reports: In an appearance on “Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace,” possible vice presidential pick Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., tried “not to make news” when asked if Sen. Barack Obama’s, D-Ill., presidential campaign has requested documents from him as part of a vetting process.

Sen. Dumbo Dumb*ss.

presumptive Democratic presidential nominee is still formulating his positions on a number of key issues of particular interest to Latinos and Latin Americans.

Miami Herald columnist Andres Oppenheimer is anticipating a “shift to the center” in the coming weeks in Barack Obama’s “Latin American rhetoric, including a less strident opposition to the Mexico and Colombia free trade agreements, and a more persistent criticism of Cuba and Venezuela’s authoritarian regimes.”

Bayh is certainly high, if not the candidate, on Obama’s VP list as was noted by a FReeper on the Sunday Morning Talk Show thread.

Warmonger!

Updated | 8:30 a.m. BERLIN –­ The Berlin beauty pageant is over. And on this Selection Sunday, the angel won.

Berlin’s Siegessäule, or Victory Column, with the Brandenburg Gate in the background.

Mr. Obama will meet privately with Mrs. Merkel during his visit and is expected to be joined by Berlin’s popular mayor, Klaus Wowereit, for his speech. German government officials who have been in contact with the Obama campaign and political experts expect Mr. Obama to hew to the tradition of leaving politics at the proverbial water’s edge and not campaign overtly in a foreign country.

According to the Obama campaign’s announcement, the senator will “give a major speech on the historic U.S.-German partnership, and the need to strengthen Transatlantic relations to meet 21st century challenges.”

Time for a remake.

I am sure that there is factional fighting within the left over all this. Some folks are trying convince others that this is all just posturing and rhetoric, while the others are bitter, angry and looking for an outlet. I would guess some of this will play out in the streets in Denver and some in Minneapolis. Some will resulting non-voting or 3rd party votes in November.Clinton will pick up more and more support for 2012.

Obama believes his own PR. I keep getting the impression he may have forgotten who brought him to the dance or who sent him on the job interview. He's going to step on his d*(k big time.

I think you're in the majority about his cluelessnsess.
