Trying to re-live past glory. sorta like Castro's 5 hour harangues against Batista. Just wonder if some enterprising young Conservatives (or some disaffected and disillusioned Liberals) will heckle him.

Obama was elected by the the fickle American Idol crowd.

Obama is singing the same old song from 2008 while the crowd has moved on to the next big thing.

One Hit Wonder Obama has problems.

The only “Ceaucesceau moment” I’m aware of is when he and his wife have their hands tied behind their backs and they’re marched out of the little broomcloset courtroom to be stood up against a wall of stone and shot dead.

That'll be a tall order for the 0-boy. There's not a lot for dems to be enthused about this time around.

Ceaucesceau's best moment was his last moment.

Bet they’re hoping the Cleveland incident, where they had to put out the call to find more attendees, isn’t repeated.

“Ceaucesceau moment” Though his last moments were his best, I’m sure the reference is to his final large speech where appearing dazed, he tried to pacify the striking hordes outside his palace with some type of pension concession speech. He fled into the abyss.

No, I'm talking about the moment when Ceaucesceau was trying to rally the troops like usual, but he got booed off stage.

No, I don't want anything physically bad to happen to Barack Hoover Obama or his wife....the last thing we need is they're becoming martyrs.
