  • Obviously a "Waking Dream" experience for the President, ........Turn from Marxism or lose your Presidency.
    Will he heed?, ........ He will not.
    Barack Obama is fulfilling his destiny, ...... To teach a post Cold War generation why Communism is bad.

  • Follow up - he's now trying to find someone to blame. Did someone deliberately try to make him look bad? Probably Bush's fault.

  • Losing the seal no big deal but thank God the tele prompter didn't break down...then what? DUH...and Olberman is an ass clown

  • Ugh... All of you know who I am... please. way to keep it humble Mr. President.

    I am no one to say if G-d did this or not. However if He did it shows a remarkable sense of comedy. I have always said that G-d has the best sense of humor. In the end He will have the last laugh.

    and so will we after we see Obamie end his one term.

  • I thought it a was a pretty good line. It was Keith Overbite's smarmy voice that caused my Post Toasties to back up just a bit into my mouth.

  • "All of you know who I am"

    I'm sorry. Most of those who voted for you do not. You are a lying liar.

    Those that do know who you are, are considered racist.
