Even blowing his nose, Obama gets applause

DALLAS – It's probably safe to say that you have arrived as a politician when your audience applauds when you blow your nose.

Yes, just a day before a debate in Texas, Sen. Barack Obama has a head cold.

And about a half-hour into a speech here, the Illinois Democrat announced that he had to take a quick break. "Gotta blow my nose here for a second," Obama said.

~~snip~~

The near-capacity audience at the Reunion Arena, which his campaign said totaled 17,000, broke out in a slightly awkward applause.

I wonder what they would do if he passed gas? Bottle it and save it as a souvenir?

Larry Sinclair hasn’t weighed in whether it’s applause worthy when Obama blows...well, never mind.

I’m too young to understand the fanatical mindset of the people with glazed eyes that voted for the likes of hitler. I this this airhead has the ability and propensity to cause even greater widescale ruin to his country. Just my thoughts.

"He walks into a room and you want to follow him somewhere, anywhere," George Clooney told talk show host Charlie Rose.

"I'll do whatever he says to do," actress Halle Berry said to the Philadelphia Daily News. "I'll collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear."

Look at it this way... people are FED UP with politics as usual. Whether we like it or not Obama has made friends with America.

I still haven’t seen anything to suggest that he’ll give us something besides politics as usual. Same old recycled lefty liberalism. I don’t see anything new.

Those people are truly mentally-ill, vacuuous and in need of medication/electro-shock or imprisonment.

Oh, well, I’ve been bad so long I probably couldn’t change now - even if I wanted to. I don’t.

HIV causes deficiency in the immunological system.
I hope Obama didn’t catch AIDS from his gay lover, Larry Sinclair.
And I hope Michelle Obama has gotten herself tested.

Can Americans be this stupid? The answer is yes. This is guilt driven liberal idiology, this is laziness, in search of a government handout so we can sit at home and watch Jerry Springer, this is American Idol sickness, this is the 1960’s all over again for the old drug induced non bathers who are balding or have long grey stringy hair. The sad part is these mental patients are going to get us into a lot of trouble. some of which we may never recover from. DON’T SIT THIS ONE OUT! WE’RE BACK TO THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS ONCE AGAIN but we may be able to deal with one where we will not have a choice with the others!
