Barack Better Than Ambien?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/20/2008 10:13:58 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Remember the good old days? Back during the Dem primaries? When Barack Obama was such an electrifying speaker that women were regularly fainting at his rallies? Ah, how times have changed. Instead of knocking them out with his other-worldly aura, Obama's now . . . putting them to sleep.

Check out the woman in the lower-right hand corner of the screencap, seen on CNN today during a live broadcast of Obama on the stump in Virginia. No, I didn't catch her in mid-blink. She actually dozed off just as Obama was ventilating on the horrors of the Bush economy.

View video here, which shows the woman falling into, then struggling out of, the arms of Morpheus.

Oh, you’re wrong. She really has fainted and the guy behind her is holding her up.

I’m not surprised. I’ve seen more and more faces behind Obama showing disinterest and boredom.

Poor baby. Probably fell asleep from working 8 extra hours a day the last 3 days "volunteering" so she could score some tickets to bam bams acceptance speech.

The VFW guys didn't bother to try and hide their ..... you choose the word!

My impression was, they just wanted to get Obama out of their ASAP.

I agree that the wall of faces for Boma is growing glummer and glummer. It makes you wonder why they even bother. Sometimes they’ll have a bunch of kids and they are picking their nose or whatever. It gets kind of ridiculous. A thin red line between comedy and tragedy...

At least he doesn’t make me sleep walk and almost burn my house down like the cursed Ambien did!

Ya know, that guy HAS become boring. I almost fell asleep myself listening to his stale oratory.
It sounds like Obama is all burned out.

Great message he’s got there: “We can’t keep on going in the same direction.” Let’s all go in a whole bunch of different directions.

Oh, the audacity!

Do you think that perhaps he’s becoming more snor-y and stinky as his wife stated he is? That’s would do it.

Obama uses so many words to say so little.

Yes! I heard someone maybe Rush say the signs were $8 and you had to volunteer for his campaign!

If it was on the ballot...I’d vote for Ambien over Barack.

Nothing interesting in Barack, empty suit, just like you won’t have any interesting dreams if you use Ambien.

But he says nothing better than anyone I've ever heard ... with the possible of exception of the Teller half of Penn & Teller

My wife fell asleep during Obama’s Saddleback appearance. I had to wake her up for McCain’s masterful turn.
