Exactly what I thought with his acceptance speech! Adoring throngs listening to platitudes and drivel. Enthralled. Bewitched by soaring rhetoric.

I am scared to death of what this guy owes the lunatic left.

I had the TV on a few minutes ago and was noting the flotsam and jetsam in the crowd. They drank the coolaid.

This guy us exactly what Reagan was accused of being-the product of slick marketing and packaging. There is no there there!

I just noted elsewhere that the movie A FACE IN THE CROWD is on TCM today. Excellent movie in which a politician shows a charming face to the TV camera and becomes a cult-like figure by telling the people what they want to hear. Andy Griffith is stunningly good and seems flat-out evil. It’s a great illustration of the packaging and marketing that can make someone like obama.
