The wackiest, ACORN'iest comedy act in all 57 states!

I saw the video of this. Not only did the McCains bend down and reverently place their roses on the memorial, but afterwards, as they were going through the line shaking hands, two of the policemen (firemen? I’m not quite sure) in their dress uniforms at separate times each took a pin off his uniform and carefully pinned it to McCain’s lapel and Mrs. McCain’s collar. No one did this for Obambi.
I saw Obama THROW his rose on the memorial while John McCain bent over with reverence and placed his rose with the others. For anybody who has “eyes to see” this one is a no brainer.
where’s the video?
We’re all getting to know BO, and the realization many of us have is that he’s a real a**h**e. I was stunned when I heard him say “Wah Silly” and do not believe for a moment that it was but one more gaffe. No, he was out to belittle Sarah Palin’s hometown and everyone in it. Ditto with the “Moose Hunter....that’s cool, that’s cool, blah blah blah.”
This guy is incredibly immature and you can bet america’s enemies have sized him up and are salivating at the thought that he might be elected.
I found it while browsing a PUMA site, and can't recall which one. It's on youtube, if that helps, but can't give you any more specifics than that. Sorry. Wait: I think C-SPAN was broadcasting the ceremonies, and they may have it, too.
I have to agree with the Freepers who have pointed out that his behavior was quite possibly a reaction to something that happened just moments prior to the "flower chucking" incident:
There was a long line of officers greating McCain, his wife and then the solitary Obama. As McCain went down the line, he was warmly greated, shook hands and then at one point, two officers took off their commemorative pins and placed one on McCain's Jacket and another on his wife's. They were accepted graciously. As Obama passed down the line by himself, no one offered him a pin.
So then McCain, his arms and body torn and devastated by injuries gained in service to his nation, gently bent down to lower the flower to it's resting place. Obama, in a hissy-fit over the obvious snub, gave a "whatever!" toss of the flower to wherever the heck it was supposed to go. What was Obama thinking? Who knows...he was probably thinking "I bet McCain can't even email..."
“I’ve been to all...I think....57 states. Still two to go!”
The more I see of this kind of tone-deaf faux pas committed by Obama, the more convinced I am that he’s a figurehead put forward and propped up by entities who stand to gain by his winning this election. Any politician who has had to win elections the old fashioned way knows how to behave in every kind of public situation. But Obama has never had to really to work to win an election. He’s had the Chicago machine behind him every time. All he’s ever had to do was show up and mouth the words in the teleprompter. I’d just like to know who’s pulling the strings of this puppet.
I just saw the video - which could have been a compilation - but it showed the flower ceremony first, and then the four of them (Bloomberg was there, too) moving through what was like a reception line. And, yes, while they were going through the line, they didn’t have any flowers, so I think the flowers happened first.
I want to shout "Open your eyes!" to all the people with their Obama buttons on the morning train (I live in Boston, work in Cambridge).
I feel like Kevin McCarthy at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Of course Barrack wouldn’t act like a normal American. He’s one of the “Elite”, not a common man.
Obama looks so uncomfortable. He seems to want to shout out "I am so BORED! Why don't you morons just bow down to me, and let me out of this stupid place, there's no chilled white wine or anything here!"
After reviewing the video from MSNBC I won’t revise my comment, but add to it.
While Barrack did shake hands with people, he appeared agitated that he ended up behind McCain - and had to wait for him as he slowly moved down the line. He’d didn’t look happy playing 2nd fiddle.
‘We’re the ones we’ve been waiting for” “When I’m elected the waters will recede (or some such crap like that”)....good freaking grief.
