Obama at Temple of Hercules, McCain team slams media 'love affair'

Agence France Press ^ | July 22, 2008

Hercules, I haven’t seen a story about that yet.

[devane617]

The MSM has lost all pretence of credibility in this campaign. I feel it may come back to bite them (MSM) if they are not careful. I hope, I hope..

[Rokurota]

Hmmm...Hercules. Didn’t he think he was immortal, too? How appropriate.

[lonevoice]

It’s nice to see something like this reported in the French press. Maye the entire world hasn’t lost its collective mind!

[Old Sarge]

"It’s nice to see something like this reported in the French press."

Back in the United States, the wall-to-wall coverage was too much for the campaign of Obama's Republican rival John McCain -- which accused the US media of being "in love" with the 46-year-old Illinois Senator.

Typical snide condescending Froggish tone.

[rightwingcrazy]

Hercules was a mere demigod. This shows humility on Obama’s part.

[Hattie]

Oblabba believes his own stuff. What is it that goes before the fall?

[lesser_satan]

No. Hercules didn’t become a god until after his death.

[calex59]

Hmmm...Hercules. Didn’t he think he was immortal, too? How appropriate.

Hercules was half mortal, he knew he could die. Obama evidently thinks he is beyond reach of mortals.

[Sacajaweau]

Obama’s “Stealth Mission to Iraq? Yup....Haven’t seen a thing about it!!

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

If only Hercules were alive today...

[Candor7]

O Yez, The Temple of Hercules. Typical fascist stuff. Obama is a stone cold fascist. Doom to him and the sooner the better.

I can hardly wait until Obama tries his messianic schtick on a group of US citizens in a month or two, and the crowd laughs all the way to the exit doors!

Typical snide condescending Froggish tone.

Well, of course, but at least they're pasted onto the correct posterior this time, since the O-man will not condescend to grant interviews to the European press.

I liked the exit line:

But Obama said he hoped he would not have to spar with McCain while he was overseas talking about issues of great importance to Americans, despite grabbing a string of photo-ops that are political gold dust back home. 

Gold dust, or fools' gold?  It's somewhat pathetic when an anti-American feels he has to snub the foreign anti-American press.

Oh, man, now I’m scared. I was conversing one night via IM to a friend where I said, “If Obama is the ‘Chosen One’ then I’m Hercules.” Now I wonder if I’ll be able to sleep at night, it seems like my fat mouth (or here, fat fingers) gets me into trouble. B-P
