Well..... yes he does. The difference, of course, is that the Pope doesn't think he's Obama.

You heard it here first: The Democratic Convention in Denver will go down as a disaster the likes of which have not been seen since Patrick Buchanan's 1992 speech to Republicans in Houston. It's hard to know what Senator Obama was thinking. After returning from speaking to a large outdoor rally in Germany, he headed to Hawaii for a vacation. Meanwhile, the candidate of "change" somehow managed to allow the first night of his convention to be dominated by Senator Kennedy, who ran for president in 1980 and who has been in the Senate since 1962.
Mr. Obama allowed the second night to be dominated by the candidate he defeated for the nomination, Senator Clinton, who has been on the national stage since her husband was elected president in 1992. He allowed the third night to be dominated by President Clinton, who has been on the national stage since he gave the convention speech nominating Michael Dukakis in 1988.
Mr. Clinton's speech last night had its share of howlers. There was the attack on Republicans for "unlimited favors for the well-connected" — this from a president who rented out the Lincoln Bedroom and was trailed by favor-seekers and cronies throughout his presidency. There was the by-now tiresome reprise of the economic wonders of the Clinton presidency. While Mr. Clinton was introduced by the theme song "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow," a better tune might have been the Beatles' "Yesterday."

Obama really is just the younger manifestation of the old liberal Senators who have elect-ile dysfunction.
Yep, Hussein is just representing the common man. /s
This is supposed to be serious business here,,,and the democrats are making it a childish joke--a cross between American Idol and the Jerry Springer show!
Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.
I watched a few minutes of Caroline Kennedy give her adoration of her wind bag uncle, a few minutes of her wind bag uncle, threw up, and changed channels. Have missed all of the rest of the Dem Convention.
Nothing to see here folks, just move along.

I find it interesting to compare just the stage setting for the Obama campaign and the stage setting for McCain. Obama and the democrats key on celebrity status while McCain keys on the American Presidential election. McCain’s stake is simply backed by the American flag.........not the setting of a Greek god.
Godesses from Hollywood and everywhere else.
Rock star “buzz.”
An NFL “venue.”
Britney Spears’ stage managers.
Sequins?
Oprah!!
Opera!
“Toga, toga!”
People a “mile high” and all legally!
Add recycling and intense security!
High on hype and low on substance.
Not Cecil B. DeMille. Not a game show. Not “reality TV”…..
It is the Democrat Convention Today!

I give you props for having the stomach and courage to make it through even a few minutes of the Swimmer’s address!
I can’t even look at the zombiefest in Denver. Like that lady who was affected by seizures when she heard Mary Hart’s voice, listneing to the Clintons causes a creepy physical reaction for me. I have spent the last few nights watching Cubs games and folding socks.
“the Pope doesn’t think he’s Obama.”
It would be arrogant and sacrilegious for the Pope to think he is the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ...
The convention has had no coherent message. I don't think the case for Obama has been made. And tonight's Sermon on the Temple is a huge gamble that could easily backfire.
Oh no they aren't.
Are they?
Someone on another thread observed that the set looks like the interior of a spectacularly gay bath house in Las Vegas. I agree.
