At the top of the 3:00PM EST hour of live coverage on MSNBC, anchor Norah O’Donnell and Politico executive editor Jim VandeHei were practically tripping over themselves declaring Barack Obama the "rock star" of Europe in the wake of the G-20 summit. O’Donnell began by asking: "Can we gauge this meeting as a success?" VandeHei replied: "I think early indications are it probably was a big success...I think they'll hail that as a big success. I think the fact that he's just been greeted like such a hero overseas...and I think that that press conference will probably get a pretty good reception." O’Donnell agreed: "You're right, it was sort of like rock star treatment...I mean, you could even see it from some of the international press there at that press conference that we just watched for the past hour...Of course, there was the Obama-mania out there..."
Later, O’Donnell compared Obama to Bush: "...there's also a turning point in terms of a break with this administration and the last administration. And Bush foreign policy. The President, today, talked about the old ways of Washington...How much of this was a clean break with the Bush Administration and that type of foreign policy?" VandeHei then won the contest over who could praise Obama more: "Oh, I think that the campaign through now, it's all been a clean break... Norah, as you well know, Obama could have gone and sat in his hotel room and listened to his ipod and he still would have been greeted with more cheer in Europe than President Bush would. So that's not a hard hurdle to clear. Because Bush was so unpopular overseas and Obama is a rock star overseas, in some places even more so than here. So that part was an easy slam dunk for him."

BO might be a “Rock Star” but he is not a president.
We don’t need a rock star … we need and intelligent leader. A leader with gonads, willing to take a risk and lead us out of our current situation.
Don’t forget...he’s the HERO!!!
The new photo on the White House website says it too.
It MUST be true. Pretty soon he’s gonna be changin’ my tap water into wine. I just know it.

He and his Obamacorns have got to be eating this stuff up!
“A leader with gonads, willing to take a risk and lead us out of our current situation.”
Someone like George W. Bush, perhaps?;) Notice they just can’t resist a slap at him- he will be sorely missed these next four years as we cede our national sovereignty to the “international community” and the Communists who put this buffoonish, Teleprompter -dependent Manchurian Candidate noodnik forth as the Sock-Puppet-in Chief of the New USSA.
AMEN!
I heard somewhere that if you took a sample of O'Donnell's stomach contents daily, you'd find Obama's DNA at least twice a week. I'm not sure what that means, but it seems interesting and thought I'd pass it along.

We’ve seen music devolve from the greatness of Beethoven’s symphonic sounds to crooned sentiments to drumbeats and, now, no music at all, not even drumbeats. And they think he’s some kind of star.
Tell me - what does he do?
