Exactly When Did Obama Jump The Shark?

Just when did he sail over the great white? I during his acceptance speech when he morphed from the greek god back into a same old, generic, angry, liberal democrat as he launched into the hateful attack on McCain - "It's not that he doesn't know, it's because he doesn't care." Many, many people snapped out of it right then. Reeling from an unsettled feeling brought out by seeing the Ted Kennedy, Joe Biden, and finally Obama rants - they were ripe for something new.

Then John sucker punched Obama, The media, and the global community...

[Jeff Chandler]

Ohio and Pennsylvania.

When did Nobama jump the shark?....

The minute that Sarah put her lipstick on.

[MichaelAsher54]

Saddleback

[Marie2]

I think he started to slide during his European Tour.

[Conservative Actuary]

My vote is for when he started talking about healing the planet and turning back the water. Only Obamabots couldn't laugh at that.

[Mr. Jazzy]

I think it happened at the Saddleback Forum.

He PROVED that he was nothing but an empty suit with his responses and the “piece de’ resistance” ...

“... That’s above my pay grade.”

[Cyber Liberty]

Berlin speech.

[agere_contra]

Agreed.

[Uncledave]

Philadelphia Rev Wright speech.

[Ann Archy]

He jumped the shark when he said "we are what we've been waiting for" and When I'm elected, the waters will stop rising (or something like that)".

Anyone have those quotes??

When he flubbed the Nitally Lions. Other people can come with their own "jump the shark" moments. The coup d'grace would be Obama's appearance with Bill Clinton today. If you need his help, its over. Just ask John Kerry how much that helped in 2004!

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

I agree. I think folks began to see how incapable he was of answering a question in a direct manner.

[Sig Sauer P220]

When he filled out his application for school at Columbia University and checked the African-American box.

[mainerforglobalwarming]

I think it started when he was losing all those primaries to hillary. Until that point all he had to do was speak from the teleprompter and talk about change. She bloddied him up and he was forced to act like a politician. And he may be good in a corrupt setting like Chicago, but middle America does not take too kindly to the actions of a punk.

[colorado tanker]

When he held that weird Nuremberg-like outdoor rally in Berlin.

[Lurker]

IMO it was the Berlin speech.

It's been all downhill since then.

[Lady Jag]

When he started swimming with them.

[Paladin2]

I think it was when he wuz publicly contemplating installing a bassetball (...been very, very good to me) court in the WH.
