I had to keep check on my gag reflex for the first 12 minutes to see a fraction of a second this asshole did a “bent arm” thing to mock Senator McCain........ what a complete classless hack obama is.

Is B. Hussein Obama really Malcolm XI?

I did not think that Obama would be so stupid as to mock McCain’s disabilities and was about to say so in a post. (No way would I listen to a 20 minute Obama speech to find out for myself). Thanks to the poster who indiccated that the incident was at 12:20, I watched the alleged mocking..

It was patently obvious that Obama was mocking how McCain has to hold his arms. IMO, Obama is a juvenile pretender with worse judgment than I had ever thought. (And I thought his judgment was quite poor). UNBELIEVABLE!

Barack Obama is a puerile, emotionally under-developed little man

True, but that worked for Bill Clinton.

you need to request...this post be deleted

best advice yet. It's misleading leading people to a link that will just give obambi more coverage - a long free commercial.

Let's not help drive up the number of hits for his video

Or a post to a moderator to request a fix to the incorrect video link.

Sweetness and Light has noticed something disturbing. In this
video, Obama can clearly be seen (at 12:20) doing a physical imitation
of John McCain.


So I guess he left out a mention of McCain's (and other POWs'
at the Hanoi Hilton) standard sustenance:
From Saturday's 9-13-08 Wall Street Journal (p. 1 and 14A):

"Senator McCain recalled that, on many days, the only food
he received was pumpkin soup and soggy bread."


If Obama really intended to mock McCain and belittle his suffering
in The Hanoi Hilton (and even years later)...
he'll have more than the American voters to answer to some day.

And Obama should have mentioned more of "the rest of the story".
As reported in that Wall Stree Journal article (and I'd heard this
in other media sources earlier)...
McCain's prison guards want HIM (NOT OBAMA) to be the President
of the USA.

They respect McCain and think he'll actually help Vietnam.
Especially in regard to their long-time nemisis, mainland China.
(Gawd, I love it when Communists fight each other!
And look to a POW they tortured to be their protector!!!)

He sure as hell did.
I try to be fair. Watching the Biden gaffe, I thought Biden handled it very well after an honest mistake anyone could have made.
But this video of Obama imitating McCain’s physical limitations, it’s there, it needs no interpretation, it’s obvious and it’s very offensive.
It’s just like the lipstick thing. Obama goes to the edge and that’s all he has to do, with his audiences. They understand what he leaves unsaid or implied.

I think it’s the same event, caught at two different angles.

If Obama’s speaking before his home crowd, mostly black, he’ll windmill his arms every all he wants. He doesn’t value McCain’s military service and sacrifice. He’ll make fun of it ‘til the cows come home, and the dolts will think he’s a genius. Will the MSM discuss it? Uh, no. But if someone videotapes it and it shows up on Youtube, don’t be surprised. The big O is going down hard.

It’s there, that little movement, easily recognizable, but which Obama can call perfectly innocent. The fact is Obama loves adulation and applause. He can’t get enough of it, and he thinks the rule of propriety doesn’t include him. Why should it? He’s black and entitled. Get out of his way. Oh, and if you complain, you’re a racist.

Early Monday morning use the best tool we have to sink the campaign:

Call and email as many talk show hosts and local TV producers as you can (tell your friends to help) and tell them about the Obama 1982 ad mocking McCain’s non-use of email. Unlike the ‘lipstick’ comment, the SINGLE theme of this ad was to RIDICULE Senator McCain, a true hero. Let them know that Obama was BRAGGING about how large is campaign staff was last week and this qualifies him to be the POTUS because of his “executive experience.”

Then, let them know about the Forbes 2000 and other articles that list McCain’s use of the net, email, wartime injuries, etc.

You can’t claim to be an ‘executive decision maker’ and leader of thousands of people running a multi-million dollar campaign and yet not know a thing about your rival.

THAT is how you get him. He will have to waste time denying his intent.

His polls will drop and never recover. Plus, he and his staff will have to walk on eggshells until November.

“barack obama is a puerile, emotionally under-developed little man...”

correction: “democrats are puerile, emotionally under-developed little boys and girls...” (not to mention scu&bags)
IMHO

I hope you're right; I hope it does catch up with them. We certainly will do all we can!

You got that right!. The MSN just makes my blood boil.

We get more of: "What I want to do is...get rid of all the fat cats in Washington!"... crapola.

I don’t mind candidates hitting hard at each other’s records but this stuff is school yard immaturity and shows the level of 0bama’s maturity.
