  1. An author featured on Glen Beck said the only thing he liked about Obamma was the fact that he smoked tobacco. I do agree with that man. That is the only sign of spine that I have seen.

  2. Holy smokes. At first glance, Obama’s “This Is My Moment” speech is a dead-ringer for an email from one of Kinsella’s “fans” — “Because you chose to listen not to your doubts or your fears but to your greatest hopes and aspirations, tonight we mark the end of one historic journey…”
    A cracker of a speech, and yet so very un-cracker: “The journey will be difficult. The road will be long…American, this (moment when I’m speaking, just now) is our moment. This (period of time during which my speech is occurring, while you listen rapturously — hi there, I see you) is our time. I am absolutely certain that generations from now we will be able to look back and tell our children that (this speech I am now giving) was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick, and good jobs to the homeless. This (speech I’m giving now will later be viewed as) the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this (thang I’m now doing) was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on earth. This (occasion of me giving this speech, right now as I shake and bake) was THE moment — This (right now, as you listen to my words) is the time when we came to remake this great nation…”
    Aye-ep. I think that in retrospect, it will certainly be seen as “that time.”
    He says of McCain: “It’s not change when (he) decided to stand with George Bush 95 percent of the time…It’s not change when he offers four more years of Bush economic policies…it’s not change when he promises to continue a policy in Iraq that….there are many words to describe John McCain’s attempt to pass off his embrace of George Bush’s policies as bipartisan and new, but change is not one of them. Change is a foreign policy that….change is realizing that meeting today’s threats require not just our firepower….that’s what change is. Change is building an economy….”
    Did you get that, people? That McCain has no spare change…

  3. Gee, with a title like “This Is Our Moment”, I was thinking it was another interview with that typical Canadian Olympian Sherraine Schalm who threw a hissy fit after being eliminated in fencing. Apparently she said some un-Canadian things when she lose her match. Something like “F*** You All” isn’t quite Canadian. After reading her article in a discarded newspaper(front page I believe), I picked up at the airport last night, it was all about her and how will she explain this to her psychiatrist when she gets back home.
    Canadian Olympic Moments won’t be featuring her any time soon.
    btw, they let her run around with long knives???

  4. “That is the only sign of spine that I have seen.”
    But he doesn’t do it in public, does he? I think it’s one more symbol of obama’s hypocrisy – he’s going to change the world, but doesn’t have the guts to change himself and quit a pathetic addiction.

  5. Oprah has again rushed to his side, what more support does he need? Oprah picks books, now she figures she can pick the Leader of the free world.

  6. I think he is going to win. I think the Dems have been changing the election laws in their favor for some time. Pretending that it is racist to ask for identification at the polls. Republicans have gone along. He has scores of millions of dollars to spend on “Get out the vote” His only real experience is as an organizer for oft accused and sometimes convicted campaign fraud organization ACORN. He has to be down by at least 7 points to actually lose, IMHO.

  7. He doesn’t have the balls to keep Hillary off the ballot, not to mention giving two speaking slots to the Clintons instead of one. Which is more opportunistic, the Russian bear or Hillary? Barack doesn’t know how to react to either.

  8. Christopher Rivers: “But he doesn’t do it in public, does he? I think it’s one more symbol of obama’s hypocrisy – he’s going to change the world, but doesn’t have the guts to change himself and quit a pathetic addiction.”
    Of course he doesn’t smoke in public. We have all been programmed to view smokers as “untermenschen” and placed on the scale somewhere between child molester and neo-Nazi.

  9. “…And then the slave ship, blinded by the storm, crashed upon the new world’s massive reef…”

  10. It’s a very well written speech. He has the voice and the young look to deliver it to the untold masses. I think people will have to wait for the VP picks and the debates.

  11. The “big “O” Oprah that is picks books, picks her nose, picks Obama, see a pattern developing here folks, what has Oprah ever done that makes her “pick” the leader of the free world by default??
    Cheers Bubba

  12. Where are the endorsements from Micheal Jackson, O.J. Simpson, Mayor of Detroit, Whitney Houston?
    Is Oprah the only vocal support “sister”?

  13. I see Obama has crawled out of the ocean.
    Now he can evolve into someone with a clue as to what’s really what, quit blurting vague cliches about change and finally explain precisely what the hell he’s been talking about.
    In other words, evolve into a conservative.

  14. What’s the matter with you haters, if he’s good enough for Hamas and Hezbolla he should be good enough for god fearing people. Sarcasm off now.
    Gag me with a spoon, the mans an empty box.

  15. Let’s see how long it takes before he offers up Poland to Russia to create “Peace in our time.”

  16. Open question for Canadians. As a direct neighbor of Russia, does your imaciated military bother you? Does it bother you that Russia is prospecting for oil all over the Arctic Ocean and planting their flag on the sea floor at the North Pole?
    Does it bother you that we are soon going to have a child in charge of all major strategic desicions made by the West? I say this because only the US spends the resources needed to make China and Russia think twice.

  17. Hey “Tim in Vermont”,
    Has it occured to you that we have slightly more land mass than you (not including Alaska)but less than one tenth your population? Think about it!

  18. “CNN was only reporting on this because they thought he was going to part the waters.”
    ROLF

  19. “Does it bother you that we are soon going to have a child in charge of all major strategic desicions made by the West? I say this because only the US spends the resources needed to make China and Russia think twice.”
    Tim in Vermont
    Yes it does bother us, haven’t you read any of the remarks here? Unfortunately we cannot participate much as there is only about 33 million of us up here and of that only about 16 million pay taxes to support some sort of military which has been neglected by consecutive liberal governments in the past 40 years. Our new leader Stephen Harper has been busy trying to fix that though.
    Unfortunately we will never be a match for Russia and will need the US to get involved. Most of that energy would be used by Americans anyway.
    Tim in Vermont: Must be lonesome to be a seemingly Conservative in that socks and sandles state of yours…Pretty country though: I was born and raised in the Eastern Townships of Quebec so I can relate with the magnificent outdoors of yours.

  20. “He has to be down by at least 7 points to actually lose, IMHO.”
    I respectfully disagree, not about insane election regulations but the 7 point margin that McCain requires. I would suggest that Obama requires a 5 to 7 point lead going into the election on the basis of his dependence on two unproven voting blocks. I do believe the blacks will turn out in record numbers but I am not so confident about the young factor. The youth vote will not disappoint and stay consistent, I see know reason to believe otherwise. None of this speaks to the strategic disadvantage O faces if you consider the swing states.
    I am reminded of the Eddie Murphy stand-up “Delirious”. Eddie mused about white-guys getting drunk and then voting for Jesse Jackson. I guess the Dem’s can hope for that.
    In the same stand-up Eddie runs the joke about an inevitable assassination of the first black president. It is obvious who makes the stereotypes here?

  21. Hey TIMMY.
    As I’m also an America, do me a favor. SHUT UP!
    Sorry Canada, even we are blessed with fools.
    /as I hang my head in shame.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    Timmy is NO conservative. If the thinks he’s is. I just fired him.

  23. If the child becomes President, I just think that war is inevitable. Other powers test child kings. It has always been this way. Who knows where the war would break out? I don’t. But I am certain that world leaders with their own agenda will test him. Maybe Iran makes an open play for domination of Iraq and its oil. Maybe Russia cuts off energy to Europe, maybe China makes a play for Taiwan. IDK. First thing that Obama wants to do is trash the weapons systems we need to keep an army like China’s or Russia’s from testing us so he can give us Canadian style health care…
    It is just too depressing. We are following your path and Russia and China and Iran can see the opening coming.

  24. Hey Dustoff, I am just curious, how do you figure that I am not a conservative? To support your invitation for me to “shut up”, perhaps you could take one of the points that I made and show were I slip from conservativism? I am curious, really. I am not a liberatarian, I will admit that much, maybe that is what you mean?

  25. I think CNN should post a picture of the child king smoking a cigarette on a melting ice burg – unafraid of the future – the brave new manikin walking on water and smoking the most letal substance in the world.
    President Saakashvili facing Boshevick butcherers in tanks – eat your heart out – this is the Demos idea of a hero!

    Hey Dustoff, I am just curious, how do you figure that I am not a conservative.

    Why you ask? Well making that stupid statement on a conservative blog shows you don’t read this website very much.
    Plus the person who owns this site has had statements about how the armed forces are treated by the libs in their country.
    Next time try reading before you make a comment.
    By the way, when I was in Nam I knew many from Canada who joined OUR armed services to help us.

  27. Yeah, OK, I will give you that one. It is just that this whole Obama thing has got me depressed, and it seems like we are headed in the same direction Canada has gone. There will be a few of us left, like Kate, screaming and howling into the void of leftard “thought”, but the change in course will be impossible to overcome. Once they get control, election law will be re-written to make it impossible for conservatives to win. They could bypass the electoral college so that huge numbers of illegal alien voters in California would break outside the firewall of state borders and over-run conservative voters in small states. Look at what the demographic changes the left instituted in Australia did to their electorate. It is just too depressing.

  28. Tim,
    I don’t think you should wave a white flag just yet. Obama has not been elected yet and he is still slipping (I think) in the polls.
    It’s going to be a tight race no doubt but I still have faith in the American electorate…Worse case, the “child king” wins with a very slim margin and dithers for 4 years (Hopefully without causing much damage) and is booted out after his first term.

  29. At least he’s not windsurfing…………
    I’d say Bush 43 is the real child.
    And I’ll add that whoever wins will be better for America than this administration, who leave little legacy except further footnotes in the long-standing Anglo-American alliance’s attempts to control the Persian Gulf oil supply.
    Whether America wants change will depend very much on the youthful Obama supporters, and I feel they will show up to vote.
    Kate, I am curious why you haven’t commented on Sarkozy’s utter failure for the Georgian people yet. Bush is doing something very good by offering unconditional support to their beleaguered leadership.
    Young people don’t remember the Cold War, and the very real threat of nuclear annihilation. Stay tuned.

  30. k.Mike
    I think you have it backwards, regardless of who wins the Whitehouse, it will be a step down in quality. Bush Jr. is the best since Reagan.

  31. Looks like Chairman Mao in an old photo I recall seeing when he was swimming across or in the Yangtze River during the Cultural revolution in China.

  32. The Book of the O:
    Chapter 6 verse 9-11
    9) It happened on that day that Obama with his apostles spent a day of rest swimming. As His feet touched the water he was heard to say as he looked to the sky Lo,”…this is the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet begins to heal.”
    10) thus he began to swim back ,to & fro frantically as the waters churned from mud to a clarity of a mountain stream.
    11) His companions where amazed. Thus today the saying, Obama’s swim of purity is the Earth Mothers due. The healing had begun of the Godess by her Consorts example.

  33. Obamania is rampant is the US of A. He’s a celebrity (because he’s a Negro) nothing more nothing less. He’s a windmill tilting whichever way the polls go. God help us all if that man is ever elected to the highest office in the free world. As an aside Stephane Dion thinks an Obama win will help him win an election. *cough cough..puke*

  34. kelly
    “”””Dion thinks “””””
    and we have a first, thank you very much for alerting us to that great moment, hoping it will be a spark that starts a raging fire, and then we may be rid of the fool!!!!
