Messianic Obama in Cleveland: "A Rising is Coming...I Want My America Back!"
Sunday, November 2, 2008 | Kristinn

Posted on 11/02/2008 4:16:19 PM PST by kristinn

With two days to go before the election, Barack Obama spoke with messianic zeal before an estimated 80,000 people in Cleveland this afternoon who were drawn by a free acoustic concert by Bruce Springsteen.

AFP reports Obama riffed on Springsteen's closing song, The Rising, when he took the stage:

"A rising is coming," Obama said after Springsteen exclaimed to deafening cheers: "I want my country back, I want my dream back, I want my America back!"

The Rising was written about the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 and was the title song of Springsteen's cathartic album released the year after the attacks. Obama and Springsteen's use of the song at Obama's political rallies perverts the song to equate the Bush presidency with the 9/11 attacks.

Obama, equating his presidency as "a rising" is treading on blasphemous territory, territory he knows well from Rev. Wright and Father Pfleger.

Obama's cry he wants his America back is laughable, unless he's talking about the America that his wife suddenly became proud of earlier this year when Obama's victory was more assured.

Land that I love...”

Another one of the aging rock stars who can sing and play great, but when interviewed, sound illiterate.

When I've seen them on the late-night shows...Bruce Springsteen, Greg Allman, Joe Walsh, Jackson Browne, Ozzy, etc...maybe they showed up drunk and stoned, but they couldn't string two sentences together.

That is an old term for a revolution. The SOB better watch his mouth.

Call it what you will, but I believe there's going to be a large sector of white Obama voters who, in the privacy of the voting booth, will decide that they really don't like arrogant black men threatening them.

We are not doomed. No way will I believe that. Our men and women did not spill their own blood to have us be so quick to give up the fight. We owe them all of the fight we have within ourselves to push this socialist self-promoter back to Kenya, Cuba, N Korea or the destination of his choice...just not here.

What “America” is he referring to??? The Reagan Years?

According to Obama America has never been great, that’s why he wants to “fundamentally” change it, his words.

His wife thinks America is a “downright mean country”, months ago she said for the first time in her adult life she’s really proud of her country.

Does he want his America back from 3 months ago when Michelle said that?

I’m confused Barack, enlighten me, what version of America do you want “back”?

"I want my country back, I want my dream back, I want my America back!"

It doesn't belong to you *sshole!

Imagine if a Republican said anything like this! If this country belongs to ANYONE it belongs to the people who fought for it! That doesn't include you and Bill Ayers!

The last song that Springsteen performed prior to Obama taking the stage was “The Rising.” Image, folks, image. Don't get me wrong the dems are motivated.

"...I want my America back!"

Ok, but did you ever have it in the first place? This kind of rhetoric reminds me of those ridiculous "gun buy-back" programs, in which the government buys "back" that which it never owned in the first place.
