Seems to sum up the state of things nicely. Obama is becoming like that washed up celeb craving the ‘glory days.’

Time to go on the Surreal Life. Obama. heh

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

She’ll be VP on January 20th, 2009.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

BHO’s in “Check”. Check Mate’s coming.

[TheCipher]

His campaigns new theme song

[goodolemr]

The debates are not going to help him. Two ‘forums’ thus far and I can safely say, McCain has beat him both times.

Obama is becoming like that washed up celeb craving the ‘glory days.’

True. And they always seem to do or say outrageous things to get attention. Maybe Barry can have himself be seen getting out of a limo not wearing panties...

[dennisw]

The Obama magic is gone. This clown is going down, hard

[dennisw]

It’s all over but the Brittany Spears type meltdown. Hillary will be replacing him, not Biden

[DeLaine]

Someone who wanted to be the power behind Obambi’s throne had that speech written for him by a really really good speechwriter, I betcha.

[Irishguy]

good post and great writing. i do like krauthammer...

[Carley]

Big difference! Sarah has earned the spotlight with her intelligence and grace under fire.

[romanesq]

Have you watched the whole thing? I’m having trouble stomaching anything now from the hollow “Empty Suit” and well was out reflecting on the 9-11 lights here.

I did see the last part of McCain and have to say he is solid on his feet.

[Joe Boucher]

Mulholland Drive?

[kjenerette]

Obama was a Political Fasion Fad.

No more no less, the craze is ending.

"Not since Henry II asked if no one would rid him of his turbulent priest"

That is one freakin' obscure reference. I had to think for a minute. Then, of course, I remembered...Peter O'toole and Richard Burton.

[mikey_hates_everything]

It's ver.

[Thrownatbirth]

But her job is easier. She only has to remain airborne for seven more weeks.

Her job is easier because her solid values will always be politically attractive long after the celeb spotlight has faded.

I watched some of Mac...and he looked good. Then Obama came out to the crowd, clearly in his court, and I couldn’t stomach it. Did you or anyone see it last night? How did he look?
