Sure does, the arrogant sob just eats up the applause and adoration. It feeds his already over inflated ego.
I was at work and thankfully missed this “memorial service” but from how I’m hearing it described here it’s impossible not to be upset.
Very strange in a bad, like maybe the end times ARE truly upon us, way! Cuz there sure is some spiritual warfare going on.
I recall some verse in the Bible where it says some really bad dude in the future is going to perform miracles and...oh yeah he’s called the antichrist. Hmmm
And he will deceive even the very elect if it were possible....
Yeah I keep waiting for the Amazon.com link and a 1-800 number to be flashed across the screen while he was speaking offering a free obama commemorative plate and Chia Pet head if you order right now.
Well Mark Penn on Hardball, Democratic Strategist, was calling for an Oklahoma City bombing event to save Obama and get his poll numbers back up. It looks like he got one plus T-Shirts and merchandising to go along with it. Why the MSN is ignoring Mr. Penn is beyond me. I mean you have a guy calling for a national tragedy to save Obama’s plunging pole numbers and one happens. I would think people would want to know what else Mr. Penn is thinking now as to what BO needs to do to reconnect with the public. It just shows how demented the left really is. For Mr. Mark Penn the only way Barry can get his pole numbers up is for a national tragedy to happen. It never occurred to him that maybe if Obama would do things that would help improve our economy by reversing his course of actions of late such as cut spending, lower taxes, stand up for America and quit apologizing around the world, support our military and our allies such as Israel and Britain, open up drilling for oil again off our coasts and inland, quit bailing out failed institutions, and repeal obama care, get rid of all the commies and progressives that he surrounds himself with that his pole numbers would skyrocket.

The shamelessness of the left knows no bounds when comes to trampling on innocent victims and tarnishing their names all for the purpose of political gain. They will do anything to exploit a tragedy to promote their progressive political agenda. I mean like geez where is the Dunking Booth filled with blood to dunk a Sarah Palin look alike into it for $1 with a sign saying all proceeds go to the DNC reelection campaigns eeerr we mean the victim’s family’s wink wink.
This truly a sad disturbing tragedy committed by an insane person and instead of bringing America together to honor those dead and who helped stop this deranged individual and to give comfort to the victim's families these leftist, progressive, politicos are grand standing on the situation and using it go after their political opponents and to try and ram bad legislation through congress playing on the emotionality of the public to support it.
You can’t remember your screen name? How long did you post here?
Just bookmarking this for Jim and others. You smell like a likely troll... time will tell.
It was a lovely, dignified way to express grief.
The other thing that ticked me off was the fake near-tears when he was talking about the dead girl. He even bit his lower lip. How people on the (center) right (Fox News) casn even say he did a good job without seeing what a huckster he is, and after he let what went on against Palin continue? It was meaningless lies about how both sides need to agree. He basically said that both sides are guilty and we need to do better for the dead girl. It was a LIE.
This 'memorial' last night should make it clear to any remaining thinking Americans that the media and our current crop of college students are little more than rally monkeys for the administration's Soviet-style agenda.
Wellstone II.
I watched this circus and was not impressed.
I also watched CNN, MSNBC and Fox afterwards. All gushed over his oratory skills and how healing this was.
We are being played and it disgusts me.
Compared to what?
I think they were trying to practice some sort of decorum. It is similar to a State of the Union address. But, they will begin to attack the speech for what it is as time goes on. This is not the time, however, for them to do so.
Who gives out T-shirts at a memorial service? Did people touch the hem of anointed ones robe as he arrived? BTW has anyone even told us who the others are that got shot?
Agreed, antceecee. Who signs up only to post a comment that completely disagrees with everyone else on the thread but a troll? And then on their sign-up date has the nerve to call other FReepers out? We have only the word of a possible troll that he was ever a member before today; who claims to have posted all of two weeks ~ perhaps the nut was flushed by the Mods??
My president went to the Tucson Memorial and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!
Nana....I must have entered an alternate universe.....or they all had been replaced by the pod people....
What claptrap, what mishmash from their mouths!!!!......that was the saddest part of the evening.
Obama has spent months and months demonizing Arizona and Arizona's governor..
..WE KNOW-(from past experience)- Obama tacitly approved every biting negative diatribe against Palin, Limbaugh, Beck, Tea Parties, etc....
..but these supposedly highly informed, so called conservatives fell all over themselves praising his 'performance' (my word)....I didn't know whether to laugh or cry....
I listened to this on Fox Radio while driving through a blizzard. I couldn’t detect an ounce of genuine emotion in Obama’s voice. He may as well have been reading his telepromter about some obscure aspect of Treasury policy. He said all the right words, but they didn’t ring true.
