What we are seing is liberal fascist theater. A desperate grasping for legitimacy. He leaves not having attained it, grossly overdone.The left got no justification for their
blood libel. It was just another campaign stop.Obama even had them hand out T shirts:

Sarah Palin’s video released today was much more appropriate
IMHO.This was hardly a memorial service, but an in your face sordid justification of the leftist medias emotional non factual attacks on the tea party and talk radio for 5 days, also done in campaign mode.

Not stopping the applause by continuing to speak was sickeningly self-grandizing.

0bama speaking for the dead was reprehensible.

Please FREEP MSNBC poll and let them know what you thought of Obama’s memorial performance. All wonderful remarks on there so far!

Unless my browser was displaying incorrectly, the voting seems to be closed. I guess they got the result they wanted in early voting, so shut it down. Ditto for the comments.

The people that were murdered on Saturday didn't die in vain...they died to insure a second term for 'The One'. /extreme sarcasm

I am absolutely embarrassed to be an American tonight...

FR ground to a near halt during the service. I imagine others, like me, couldn’t get on the board to post.

Well, the Fox commentators, Hume, Krauthammer, and Wallace think Obama was just wonderful, set the right tone, was inspirational, etc., etc. They actually believe the tripe that Gabby opened her eyes after Obama left the room. His Oneness has worked a miracle.

I can’t believe their reaction. Krauthammer is absolutely in ecstacy about it. It will change the perception of the president, he is convinced. Did they watch the same spectacle that I did?

I’m watching the post-pep rally...I mean memorial service discussion on Fox.

The general consensus (from Krauthammer, Chris Wallace and Brit Hume) is that President Obama engaged in powerful oratory and oh yeah, the speech was a little too long.

Those were my perceptions. Did I miss anything?

Since decorum, manners, and all things decent were just stomped to death, I am just going to say this: That was some f$@#ed up $*%# we all just witnessed.

I had to tune in for MSLSD’s lead in and that Madcow gentleman led with a slam on Boehner for not attending and doing a fundraiser instead.

If you ask me, he showed much more class than anyone in that damned building tonight by not showing up. And I don’t particularly like the man either but just call ‘em as I see ‘em.

It was the wrong venue, but one in which Obama could be drenched in adoration. It was inappropriate from the get go. The cheering, whistles and whoops.

All about Obama and the 'rats.

Disgusting,,, I didn’t think it was possible to respect him less. Would it have killed him to simply stop, and ask everyone to stop cheering and show a little respect for what should be a serious occasion? And about the fat first aid guy,, in my experience, he brags an awful lot.

Contrast him to the recent medal of honor recipient, you can’t hardly get him to talk about it. Find a cop or paramedic in your town who has recently been in some hasty crap like holding someones brains in. Observe how they avoid discussing it on the news. Just watch, this first aid guy will be a future Jesse jackson, who cradled the wounded MLK.

The Fox News Channel recap was a total waste of time. I guess they wanted to kiss Obama’s butt!!! Truth is this was a disgusting display of ego maniac Obama and his minions of cheering ranting, raving, college rally morons. From the University President and every speaker that followed including Obama this was a farce and insult from A-Z and....the American people will view this for what it is!!! Not one iota of dignity nad understanding. Obama politics as usual. Obama is done and we, the American people must send him and his minions down to the political sewer in November, 2012. This horrible man is a disgrace to the innocents that died and were wounded last Saturday and he is a total disgrace to the office of POTUS and the country.

She probabally opened her eys in fear when he left because what you don’t know is when he leaned over and whispered in her ear he said: I told you not to vote against me. Surprised he didn’t leave a flower on her chest

There is seriously something very WRONG with people who live in D.C.
It’s like they take insanity drugs and very few can occasionally make a lucid comment... very rarely.

The fact that Krauthammer and Hume have drunk the kool aid seems to have come from the Tea Party’s success in the November Elections.
They are terrified of the tea Party and they are scared s**tless of Sarah Palin!

These people make me ill.

“But that is good that Giffords has opened her eyes.
To bad they had to keep it a secret to be used as a prop here.”

Its also too bad that he held back his remarks about the polarization and civility issues until tonight. He could have said the same thing several days back and saved the country from having to listen to senseless diatribes from the Left.
