We're Overdosing on Obama
Aspen Times ^ | 8/12/08 | Addison Gardner

Posted on 08/12/2008 6:19:18 AM PDT by sasquatch57

It finally happened last week; Americans overdosed on Obama.

Obama. Obama. Obama. Plus late-breaking news about Obama’s jump shot.

A Pew Research Center poll escaped suppression and revealed some discomfiting news about the candidate whom New York Times columnist Frank Rich has dubbed “America’s acting president.” Voters want to hear about the other senator, too: the senator who hasn’t received more coverage shooting a basketball than Yao Ming and the American “Redeem Team” combined.

It’s time to address the recent rumors about an over-flight of America’s stealth candidate, John McCain.

The Pew poll reveals an electorate that — by a 2-to-1 margin — reports it’s hearing too much about the senator from Illinois and not enough about the senator from Arizona. Half of independents, two-thirds of Republicans and an amazing one-third of Democrats say they’re being bombarded by Barack and can’t find McCain with a searchlight.

I can find McCain by tuning to CNN and getting my daily briefing on the senator’s latest trip to the dermatologist, along with fevered speculation about whether the Republican will survive his melanoma past election day.

It’s been said that nature abhors a perfect vacuum. Obviously, nature is unaware of the interior of Obama’s suit.

It’s not that they’re hearing too much about Obama, they’re hearing about Obama too much. They’ve scarcely heard even a fraction about the real Obama.

The premature Obamulation has been a bit much. The Berlin Speech was the dividing line. Even Edwards' tawdry fiasco provided mild comic relief from the 24/7 Obama worship of the MSM.

But they're stuck with him. And that preachy, condescending voice.

Unless...

The headline suggests that we are talking about an addictive psychogenic drug rather than a purgative.

Prattling and fawning over a done nothing just points out exactly how much nothing he’s done.... let em prattle on.

I’ll say this much, I can’t think of a time in any national election where a WAR started during the campaign and one of the candidates responded to it with a written press release.

What a complete schlub this guy is.

Unless...they want to substitute the screechy, condescending voice of Her Heinous (which is actually preachy as well.)

Wait until his next book comes out in September. I’m hoping all the hoopla about him will have turned people off even more by then, and he sells less books than Nancy Pelosi.
