“This guy is so good it’s unbelievable.”

Media savy? Media loved? Both? Neither?

“his nomination will be the worst thing to happen to the republican party since Herbet Hoover.”

Sorta mixed metaphores?

Thank you ... my sentiments exactly.

When he spoke at the DNC in Boston, and if you closed your eyes ... he sounded more like a conservative, American patriot than anyone we've heard in a long time.

I told my kids that night, "This guy is gonna' be dangerous".

Little did I know.

The fact that he's tearing up the country and the x-42's should tell us something.

Be very afraid.

“Does It all sound a bit Cultish?”

I agree.
when he says, “I will remake the world”, or jokes to morgan freeman, “you were President before I was, you were God before I was.”

scary stuff.

He’s only dangerous because the media will prop him up. He is nothing even similar to Reagan. FDR is the Democrat’s Reagan. A man of great substance. BHO is the Tony Robbins of the Democratic Party.
No, he's dangerous because he's dangerous. He's got a different gear he hasn't used yet. Watch. I've listened to some of his supporters talk, they've *completely* co-opted conservative rhetoric but subtly twisted it to support a new kind of liberalism. All the "independents" and RINOs are going to eat it up.

He's saving it for the general once he trounces hilary.

To the Left the only thing the citizen class can do for their country (a country without borders by the way) is to open our wallets.

Ask what your country can do for you.

Quit sugarcoating it. It really comes down to:

Ask nothing. Let your government decide what your country will do for you, and what you will do for your country.

Here is Barry’s danger. I put this up earlier, I think everyone should know about it. If he wins the White House, he’ll invite the terrorists right through the front door.

He's just savvy. Obama and his staffers have already figured out the end game for the general election. They've already perfected the rhetoric and platform that will *crush* McCain.

Obama's already triangulated the whole Republican platform.

Yup. But that's not why he's dangerous. He's dangerous because he'll have the American public *eating out of his hand* while he does it.

He — and apparently Caroline Kennedy — also believe that JFK said, “Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what your country can do for you.”

Must be sad to be Caroline — being the daughter of a president and not having clue as to what his policies were.

Savvy, no... Omnipotent and Benovolent surly, For we are called to worship at the altar of Obama and if we refuse to go quietly into that dark night then we will be convicted of intolerance and hate, we will be called timid and useless souls whose prime relavance is dissent. Obama stands for the change that we must believe in that WE must make happen for We The People are the Government and Obama will speak for us, to us and with us to take back this great nation from....

Give me a break....

Obama is the most dangerous candidate on the Left and the sooner the Right come to grips with that the better prepared we will be to defeat it.

Both party majorities want this seldomly-defined thing called 'change'... no matter who is the vehicle. The political atmosphere is a lot like 1975... with the emotional overtones of 1968. Bad news for conservatives... good news for RINO's and socialists.

The leftward skid speeds up...

Nobody gets it yet. Obama's not going to be another identity politician. That's what makes him dangerous. People really will love big brother if he gets in. He will be more powerful than the Clintons *ever* were.
