This guy Obama is so slick he is frightening.
It is such a sad thing to watch posture triumph over substance.

I know this video is supposed to prove something devastating and damaging about Obama, but I couldn't get through 1/3 of the self-serving 'comparisons' before my eyes glazed over.

Is this the best you can do?

All plagiarism aside, "we are the ones we've been waiting for"?

What the hell does that mean? What an empty, nothing of a statement.

Hillary Channels Bill.

AMEN BROTHA!.......and pass the wellfare gravey train.

Hillary Channels Edwards.
I wish we could lock them in rooms without tele-prompters and prepared speeches to see if they can think on their own... how come they aren't asked to take all sorts of standardized tests or something?

Get ready for some real fascism with a new smiley face.

Well volik, if you bothered to watch the entire video, you might have a clue......... nah.

Not only does this freak have NO track record to run on (ask any supporter for a list of his accomplishments.......lots of blank stares) but between he and his staff, they cannot come up with a simple speech with completely plagiarizing this Deval Patrick from a year and a halfd ago?

So the choice for the US is likely to be him or McCain? Voting booths are going to wind being used as suicide booths for those Americans that actually give a damn about their country over party hacks.

I wouldn't worry too much Kate. He's only going to be president of the United States.

Almost a "cultism" feel to it.

I think it's an official religious cult. They should call it Negroism. When I see this guy speak it's like he's trying to 'set his people free' not lead the most powerful nation in the world.

I think this guy is a great impostor. I don't think he's for real. I think he is like a clone mouthing the ooonyellyman chant to bamboozle the voters. He says noting other than he intends to make the US a socialist state.

I truly don't think he knows what he is doing other than perhaps winning an election.

I fear for America.

Yup..new smiley face, use your blood as lube, you aint seen noth'in yet facism.The kind that right wingers are accused of, but the left always seems to implement every where they spread their seed..

America will regret this dude..

"we are the ones we've been waiting for"

But why were we waiting for ourselves, when WE WERE HERE ALL ALONG?

well John, they said the same thing about Gore and Kerry, didn't they? Of course, Bush rigged both of those elections, and he's not in it this time, so maybe he might actually win, right?

Obama has the depth of Peter Sellers in The Party ... where his character, Hrundi Bakshti, mimics the parrot ... "Birdie Num Num" ... "Biiirrrdie Num Num".

What a plastic superficial nothing.

And, before one of the resident lefties thinks I'm referring to Hrundi's ethnicity, I'm not; I'm referring to the fact that Hrundi could just mimic his surroundings ... like Obama.

Plastic ... empty ... nothing ... but very good at it.

Heck, nobody ever got on GWBush's case about plagiarizing Foster Brooks' old routines...

Oh, and John West? "Negroism"? Gross!

Wondered how long it would take before that came up!

You guys never disappoint!

Volik: I guess you're reality challenged like all "progressives". They got on Bush's case for everything ... absolutely every single little thing he said, did, and was, to the point it's become pathologic. Never in the history of the United States has a president been so vilified by the media and left for ... everything.

The thought of having a black president in the White House and the most powerful man on the planet must be terrifying for you über-cons. I wonder what would be worse in your mind? A gay muslim for PM maybe?

The only thing missing from an Obama event is the collection bucket being passed. Reminds me of the Billy Graham/Oral Roberts crusades of past years.
So, in the US they have the Religion of Obama and the Religion of Gore. Too bad they don't have the Religion of God.

Don't worry about a gay muslim as PM, Libforlife, the Liberals can even nominate a female for any signifcant postion in the party. White males all the way for the Libs. You know the progessive party of Trudeau. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

lidforlife: So, using your logic, we uber-cons would cringe at the thought of Condi running for pres. ... right?

Put her in a wheelchair and she's got my vote Paul2.

OMG. I was going to say "too funny" but it's actually rather scary. Will the State of the Union be plagiarized as well?

Politicians must absolutely HATE youtube.

Hey, wait a minute!

The Democrats can't be scary. That's supposed to be reserved for conservatives. No fair.

There are no gay Mulim men.

There are no openly gay Muslim men.

There are no living, openly gay Muslim men.

But, if one was to run against Harper and I voted Conservative (throw in Lizzy May for fun too) Would you call me racist or worse?

Yeah Paul2

That awful media has so poisoned the public's mind against Bush that he's now down to 19% approval - lower than Nixon was at the worst time of Watergate!

It's horrible the way they've fed the public so much false information about Bush that only 19% of Americans now approve of him.

You'd think with the colossal success of Iraq, with the masterful handling of Katrina, with the way Osama Bin Laden's been brought to justice, that the media would let the public know all this, and Bush would receive credit.

But no! That darn media never let Bush get any credit for all the good work he's done - with the result that 81% disappove of their President!

Disgraceful!

Speaking of using someone else’s material

http://jasoncherniak.blogspot.com/2008/02/conservative-pornography.html

Why, that's Shocking News! Libforlife, Shocking News!

You can always tell how close to the mark something hits on this site by how many lefties show up.

This should be an entertaining campaign.

He's going to implement what the right wing is always accused of.

Horny Toad

If Obama wins the Democratic nomination, the US federal election will be the likes of one never seen before. The melting pot of cultures will be revealed to be much of a sham as Canada's multi-culturalism.

Voting will be along racial lines. Pure and simple. Reason for that...human nature.

The African-americans will come out in large numbers, probably the highest in American voting history, and vote for him. Not because he is one of them, but because of the chance of payback. Revenge. The yoke of the white man finally off for good.

For the hispanic community, hard to tell, depends on the relationship between the black and hispanic communities. In their case it will be a case of voting for the lesser of the two evils.

The Muslim community will probably vote for him, they may see him as one of theirs.

If Obama does becomes president, and the African-americans start become cocky(read that however you may) during his term, do not be surprise that racial divides in America will be most evident, if not more violent. Do not be surprised if the wagons start to be circled.

We may witness the beginning of the end of America.

It's so nice that you are reading my comments between cross burnings Kate. Here's another for you http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=bd84cad3-8019-438c-a25a-80a615913977&k=87483

Placing image over substance is never good for any country at any time. Our society has been hurt quite enough by media manipulation and spin Doctors.
It is incumbant on every person to set aside thier political bias and make every effort to
to get to the facts as they are, not as highly skilled media craftsmen present the issues.
Ask yourself; who would you want in the white house when Al Q'ieda get they atomic bomb. Because they will and very soon!

So, tell me libforlife, with as little brain activity as you exhibit, can you breathe without mechanical assistance? Be gone pinhead troll, and take your little dog volik with you.

Hey, what's Paul2 talking about?

Obama is like Peter Sellers' faux Indian guy in The Party?

And his "ethincity" has nothing to do with it?

Wow - one sure mark of a racist is that he really dosn't understand how racist he is, huh?

You know, the only difference between this and the standard white supremacists' is.......

Damn! I know it'll come to me............

During my lifetime I have seen many moments when America has earned the right to be proud.
Helping the world win ww2. The trip to the moon,
the first gulf war, How she rallied from 9/11.
The never ending example of america helping people all around the world during tragedies,from indonesia to turkey.
A small example of the things america has done and earned the right to be proud!
Yet Mrs Obama claims the very first time she felt pride in America is her husbands campaign.
That small uttering of her truth says a lot about how they view thier own country.
Spin that folks!

so volik, is ethincity like ethanol? Or what is it then?

Be gone pinhead troll. Go share lfl's breathing machine. The oxygen deprivation's effect on your brain is becoming far more evident every passing day.

The standard white supremacists' site is American and this site wishes it was?

When do you start the sixth grade Libforlife? in three years?

With the socialist following class it's not hard to see how Hitler came to power.

Definition.

Demagogue.
A leader who obtains power by means of impassioned appeals to the emotions and prejudices of the populace.

Yes! That's right, Libforlife!

But don't forget the obvious one:

The standard white supremacist sight contains a lot more honesty

Has anyone noticed that starting about ten days ago, when the MSM discusses the voting patterns of various segments of society, they no longer gave the break down of "Black voters" for Clinton vs. Obama. In the four primaries held Feb 9th, the White vote", was split within the range 55% to 45% while the "Black vote" was within a range of 60% to 75%(Louisiana) always in favor of Obama. There was no discussion about the "Black voters", but there was plenty of talk about racism not being a factor with "White voters". Feb13th(the day after the Chesapeake primaries) was the last day the MSM has given a break down of who "Black voters" supported. On Feb 12th, "Black voters" in the D.C. primary, voted over 85% for Obama, while the "White vote was split within that range of 55% to 45%. It clearly was becoming more and more difficult to explain why such a higher percentage of "Black voters" were voting for the "Black" candidate!

2012 &/or before.
The campaign of ideas will be fought on

Just as I previously posted, libforlife had to leave school at 15
because you can only repeat Grade 3 so many times. Leave the poor
bike-seat-sniffer alone, maybe he/she/it will go away...

You have to be familiar with American TV commercials for this to make sense:

Barack Obama is to politics

As the Geico lizard is to advertising.

This man's wife has had her thesis lifted from Princeton University archives. I would gather that it was somewhat disconcerting to her, to be in the presence of white people.

Food for thought.

Personally, I don't see what is wrong with an orator practicing his craft. I think he's brilliant and not the empty suit from Illinois. The Republicans do this stuff as well. At least in Canada we lay the 'pork' on the table and make sure those who won't be partaking notice if they aren't on the winning side politically. In America they hide behind words.

Still, if their goofy immigration system had allowed me to stay with a small bit of security n knowing what the hell was going on ... I would vote for this guy.

Heck, he's more conservative than 90% of the Reformers or Alliance guys I had to suffer and he at least spins a good yarn. His book is awfully long winded but if you like 'self help' books or 'get rich' books you'll love it.

If a person like Obama ran for the Republicans I would be just as unsettled. Anyone who believes they can change the world and bring the kingdom of heaven on earth is dangerous. Human beings are flawed creatures and should not aspire to godlike goals. It always ends badly.

It seems to me that this is a video about nothing very much except the use of rhetoric. The comparisons of Obama to Malcolm X - as played by Denzil Washington - are offensive enough, I suppose. But the larger theme, it seems to me, is about politics as an appeal to the aggrieved - "Vote for me and things will get better for you."

Sure it's emotional pandering, but show me a politician on any side of any divide who doesn't do it. I think many Conservatives are just pissed off at how well Barack Obama does it. Is he any empty suit? Most likely. But that hardly makes him unique and certainly it does not make him "dangerous."

I personally had a lot of problems with Obama until the nature of hope and change was explained to me (on a previous thread here) by the Cardstonkid (I edited this very slightly):

"Of course he has accomplishments. He has been the biggest supporter of hope and change. What hope? Why the hope that causes change!!! And what change does he speak of? The change that gives hope of course!!!

You can't name just one thing he has done since his mere presence in the Senate alone has given the Senate new hope and change that has caused revolutionary changing hope! He has caused a complete 360 degree change in the Senate. Without him the sun might not rise and seeds might not grow. By not supporting Obama you are a racist with no hope, or change."

And so I might add that it doesn't really matter if Obama uses other peoples terms and phrases because it is orthogonal to his central argument concerning the very philosophical nature of changing hope and it's application to the American people.

Volik, (and sockpuppet LoserforLife), is it not apparent to you that you are the only ones racializing differences in the candidates here? Ethnic and race-based political demography is a valid phenomenon, however you want to internalize it, but demeaning the players based on race is what you're doing, not the rest of the participants.

How is it you see sufficient racial difference enough to comment pejoratively, while the rest of us try to discuss only the significance of that demography to the process? I'll give you time to look up some the bigger words.

Obama's speech writing elves are merely combing the annuls of history for their material. If that's all the people of America are looking for, platitudes over substance, plagiarizing feel good expressions over today's realities, well, they're in deep trouble.

Its not plagiarism its parlour tricks. The old Moses (and others) tell of the coming of the messiah. These are the signs. Allow to percolate. Allow anticipation to build. Confirm the messiah by his repetition of the signs.

Iron filings coalesce around a magnet.

Sheesh, does no one rent "Life of Brian" anymore?

Well, at least when quoting someone from the past,whether written or verbally, it's using someone else's words as your own unless you preface those remarks with "as so and so said........".

If Obama becomes president he will try to inflict government help upon 'his people'. However since so much of the black community in America is dysfunctional (70% families have no father) and whose only role models are badly behaved sports figures, drug soaked rappers and BMW driving crack dealers, it's not not going have much affect.

When the American Negro who has been waiting for the Obama Messiah for so long realizes that all the various forms of success a human being can achieve comes from withing one's self and not from more government programs ... they will be livid.

If Obama becomes president, there will be a downturn is the affairs of Negroes in America because most unrest comes when 'change' (or the illusion of it) is coming, but not fast enough.

Negroes are far more racist that white people. They never stop talking or whining about it. How often have you heard "The black man in America has no chance" yet the average black man in America now enjoys a higher standard of living than an average white Canadian.

With affirmative action, United Negro college fund, and all the other organizations set up to 'help' blacks in America, why are they still whining? Because, just like our Canadian natives, once you apply special treatment and start the 'enabling' process, it drains any moral strength those folks may have had and makes you (the state) responsible for their happiness and prosperity.

It is the impossible dream. Dreams are fantasies, reality is the only way to true happiness and success. And you have to do it yourself.

Nearly all the Negroes in America are going to vote for the Obama miracle where they will all be getting cheques in the mail and have all their problems solved for them. Wait until they realize that it's all bullshit and Obama is a young inexperienced phenomenon who will fail in office once the back room boys let him read the binder and he then learns that there some rules that can't be ignored and some bigger fish to fry than giving black people 'get our of jail free' cards.

I have no beef with black people or white people for than matter, I just believe that what's going on in America is so racially charged that only bad shit can come of it.

One more thing about the accidental messiah .. From TMZ site

"If Barack Obama ends up winning the White House, the first person he should probably thank on Election Night is ... Jeri Ryan. Like, "Star Trek's" Seven of Nine Jeri Ryan? Yup.

Let's explain.

Back in 2004, when Obama was a small-time State Senator from Illinois and running for a U.S. Senate seat, his GOP opponent was Jack Ryan, a super-wealthy businessman who was actually favored in the contest -- and who had gone through a messy divorce from ... Jeri Ryan.

The divorce was a slapfight of Hasselhoffian proportions, and Jeri's allegations that Jack had forced her to go to sex clubs in New York and Paris -- and wanted her to have sex with him in the clubs -- completely ruined Jack's campaign ... and Obama went on to win the seat. And now, perhaps, the one in the Oval Office.

We asked Ryan's rep how she feels about it, but haven't heard back yet."

.

if things are so bad in the u.s. what does obama tell his children. he is a millionare. he is a lawyer. his wife is a lawyer. he is running for president. his own life makes a lie of all he says.

Volik,libforlife.....both of you are on the wrong site,you meant to key,cbc or ctv,left wing losers.

Why is it, John West -

That so much of the black community is, as you say, dysfunctional?

And if they're so dysfunctional as you say, why is it that the average black male has it better off than the average Canadian white male - if what you say is true?

Hm?
Why is that?

Socrates would have some 'Questions' for Obama. Why is this roller of vowels never asked any questions by anyone? His supporters remind me of the swooners for Elvis during the 1950s. Elvis did not run for President, however....and he proudly served in the Military. Elvis had talent,
innocent substance, and a kindness that reflected his strong belief in God. Elvis loved his country and the American people.

It seems to me that Obama is the polar opposite of Elvis and it is producing the same bizarre behavior as real talent (for show biz) did fifty years ago.

My hunch is we won't have a Democrat in the White House next time around. The Kennedy's, Ted, who doesn't dive, his nieces, Carolyn,and Arnie's wife, whatshername, can keep yakking, it won't help the Democrats outside of Hollyood.

I dunno...a group might feel disadvantaged cuz they BELIEVE that they are perpetual victims, nothing is their own fault and the goverment has to come to their rescue.

That kind of Goverment paternalism has really worked out well for Canada's First Nations people's...hasn't it?

It is always much easier to be helpless, than to quit complaining, pick yourself up off the ground, take responsibility for your actions and fix your own problems.

Unfortunately, that kind of thinking isn't considered "progressive".

If Obama can't present a solid centrist program before November (rather than just push all the leftist ideas he has voted for up to now in Congress), it will be a McCain landslide this fall.

And that result won't be due to racism, it will just be people rejecting another "empty suit".

"And if they're so dysfunctional as you say, why is it that the average black male has it better off than the average Canadian white male - if what you say is true?"

Volik,

You aren't paying attention ... Black men enjoy a high standard of living because they don't support their families, they abandon them and let white tax-payers foot the bill.

With lower taxation and higher wages in the USA it's easy to see why they have more disposable income. It goes with having disposable families. You troll idiot.

I have read the studies and surveys, and all cynicism aside what I state is true, Blacks in America, on average, have more than average Canadians at least in monetary terms. I don't have those studies available since I am not a librarian, but if you search, you can find them

Jema54

Elvis died on the toilet, trying to tske a shit that wouldn't come out because his body was atrophied from years of drug abuse.

Maybe they are brucie, but they're not nearly as stupid or ignorant as you.

Hey John-o

*All* black men don't support their families, huh?

Where you get your statistics from, Einstein? The KuKluxKlan Journal?

If I'm a troll idiot, why bother responding to me? And why bother responding at all if you're going to cite a bunch of figures you just pulled out of your ass, with the caveat that 'you don't have the studies at hand right now, 'cause after all you're not a librarian'.

Pttthh! How lame!

Like ET you're a blowhard attempted pseudo-intellectual, trying to give a sheen to your ignorance by citing facts which of, course, you can't quite substantiate right now, but by gum, we'll all have to take on faith are true - 'cause you say so!

And like Bruce, you're a flat-out redneck racist like most others here. Bruce is just more honest.

Hey volik you pinhead. Find another epithet. That one's meant for lieberal trolls. Be gone.

Isn't it telling how the "open minded" liberals for the most part don't allow comment on their blogs, but the "closed minded" conservatives let commenters show their good and bad sides.

So the self-righteous leftoids can come on in and feel all superior for no real reason. Just like in the real world.. Too bad that for the most part, they're pinhead trolls.

hey libforlife and volik; why don't you guys go help hand out Obama flyers at this years May Day parade down in Havanna ???

For anyone interested in reality:

http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/hh-fam/cps2006.html

Living Arrangements of Children under 18 and Marital Status of Parents - Table C3

Hispanic:
66% Both Parents, 11% not married Mother

Asian:
84% Both Parents, 3% not married Mother

Black:
35% Both Parents, 32% not married Mother

White - non Hispanic:
76% Both Parents, 4% not married Mother

All Races:
67% Both Parents, 10% not married Mother

I'd say John's statement on black fathers is pretty accurate, about 3x more nonmarried mothers than the general population. And that took all of 2 minutes of Google research.

Kate, I'm a bit disappointed by the low brainpower of the trolls here. Are the kids off school? Will the better quality trolls be back next week?

[deleted. You're getting very close to eviction. ED]

If you cannot stay on topic, don't comment. If you find yourself typing the word "troll", there is a good chance you are in the process of becoming one. So stop it

Don't worry folks, they're not about to have the building painted black. It'll still be the White House after Obama finishes his second term.

If Obama were completely white instead of half white and passing for black, he would never have gotten the time of day in a run for the presidency. He has not run a phone booth.

American blacks are racist in that they are voting for him purely on the color of his skin. If not, their votes should be split with Hillary who is also promising the same Democrat handouts. American lib whites meanwhile are overjoyed at being able to prove they are not racists by voting for a (completely unqualified) black man (and calling anyone who criticizes him a racist). That trumps any desire to prove their feminist credentials in voting for a completely unqualified woman to get her sleazy husband back in the White House.

As for what's behind the demagoguery, it would be better if it were an empty suit. Instead, it's a prime marxist, the most left-wing voter in the Senate, married to a racist black woman with a chip on her shoulder as big as her imaginary victimhood (her hidden thesis is a big whine about how she felt marginalized as a black woman while she was getting a Harvard law degree...we should all be victimized like that).

The first thing this marxist has promised and will do is recreate Vietnam in Iraq, snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and get any progressive Iraqi slaughtered. He is a menace dressed up in an attractive package by a fawning media.

Liz J. Ha Ha ... you're right. I once was a speech writing elf for a conservative Liberal in Alberta poking sticks in Don Getty's eye. I was ahead of the curve on partisan politics for its own sake. This 'group think'... phrases with emotive pull but no meaning is new but I think I could handle it. Just haven't had a classical Orator to try it on. Personally, I sound kind of nasally and New York / Toronto whiny ... need a Barack to 'raise your hands in the air' and do the 'hockey wave' to ;D I wonder if he speaks in tounges ;)

"Pointless juvenile hectoring"?

Gosh, Kate!

Those are pretty sobering words from someone who sent a picture of her motorcycle registration number scrawled on someone's arm and passed it off as a tatoo from a concentration camp in the holocaust as a big joke!

"close to eviction"?

Oh, darn!

There go my chances at becoming the Grand Dragon!

Half the racist crap is left here by lefties, eh, Kate?

Like brainiac John's fulmination about "Negroes" above, huh?

Whatevs! ;)

The Negro’s want to have representation like anyone else would. Who can blame them? The US is becoming too dysfunctional anyway, so why care now. Used to be a great place to visit but who wants to take the risk, unless you plan a vacation in some fly over state. Old America was a great place and a friend to everyone, New America is fast becoming something to avoid. As often quoted it’s a macrocosm of the world, possibly in the future we can take a pick of any state to visit like it’s a small world Disneyland….
Mexifornia, Little Liberia, Little Saudi, Little Pakistan………..Sounds like a wonderful dream of global unification of peace and brotherhood anyway, and we do like Disneyland so why fight it.
