It has an elevator to lift him up, too. I suggest he should wear a toga and a wreath of arugula on his head.

From Kennedy's speech:

Quote

Ive seen him connect with people from every walk of life and with Senators on both sides of the aisle. With every person he meets, every crowd he inspires, and everyone he touches, he generates new hope that our greatest days as a nation are still ahead, and this generation of Americans, like others before us, can unite to meet our own rendezvous with destiny.

Just capitalize Him there, and the Dems will be all set...

Wow, add some pillars of light around the stadium and a bunch of adorers wearing the same shirt, take pictures in black and white and we would all recognize the venue. Astounding...

In Germany it took losing a war, communist insurgencies, the great depression and utter desperation to get the German people to agree to the adulation of a POLITICIAN.

In this US it took 1 quarter of the economy barely growing (the seconds quarter grew at 3%), winning a war in both Afghanistan and Iraq with historically insignificant casualties and high gas prices?? and 40% of the population is willing to worship a POLITICIAN? Huh?

Are we really that weak?

Maybe it's getting close to time for the reset button on this mess.

75,000 people are paying up to $1000 a ticket to adore him at this stadium event.

No, 40% of the population is willing to VOTE for him. THe amount of actual worshippers is much lower, I suspect.

Looks like the faithful have already gathered! shocked

Oops, forgot about the torches!!! grin

Bet's on the number of lighters or candles that will be held up during the Sermon from The Rocky Mountains... rolleyes

Maybe 40% is to high but it's a big chunk anyways.

Just let him descend from the clouds.

Change/Hope, the new Seig Heil.

Now in a new friendly, non-threatening package.

I'm not worried about Obama starting another world war. I'm concerned that he won't finish it.

Rush mentioned today that the stage was designed by the same guy who designed performance stages for Brittney Spears.

Quite literally. He cited an article on the Washington Post and mentioned the guy's name, though I can't remember it right now.

The Hitler references are a bit weak, IMO. I hate the guy almost as much as I hate McCain, but he ain't Hitler. That stage looks nothing like Hitler's stage, either. Hitler's amphitheatre in the provided picture is an imposing structure several hundred meters long, representing the strength of the reich, not necessarily that of Hitler himself. Obama's stage looks like the cheap off-Broadway styrofoam prop that it is, and sits in a small corner of a football field, designed to put focus on Obama, not on the aparatus he wishes to pilot as President.

Not me.

Hillary may or may not be thinking 'Et tu, brute?' though.

It is missing an 18" Stonehenge mock up.

Derek Smalls: Can I raise a practical question at this point? Are we gonna do "Stonehenge" tomorrow?
David St. Hubbins: *NO*, we're not gonna @#%#$$# do "Stonehenge"!

AZ Redhawk, it's not about the stage, it is about the audience. Same blind trust/obedience, same rapture in the theater of a charismatic figure distorting a nation's destiny to his own perverse scheme. I don't think Obama=Hitler, I just think his followers would have turned in every Jew on the block if he said to do it. They have forgotten America as much as Hitler's people forgot their basic human decency.

Obamaism isn't the New Nazism; it's what PRODUCES Nazism. It is the soft, mindless anteroom to the real, brutal thing itself. Obama is the culmination of four decades of unreason, narcissism, and a too easy life built on all the wrong things. But nature abhors a vacuum, especially this type of vacuum.

That's a new record, I think. Godwin's Law was invoked in the first reply. Reductio ad Hitlerum if you want to sound more cultured.

Without touching any Nazi references, which I think are extremely overblown... Seeing any politician as a messiah figure is deeply worrisome. A thousand crooks cannot cause the damage of one 'saint'.

Frankly, I don't think this speech would get an A in a good high school. It's full of jumbled thoughts, bromides, and twisted facts. God help America.
