OC BLOG (CA): Penetrating insights from behind the Orange Curtain

 
 
 

Obama Rex

Posted by: Jubal | 08/28/2008 5:15 PM

No word yet one whether Obama will enter Invesco Field and to the Obamacropolis on a chariot, preceded by a Senatorial procession, with an SEIU minion holding a laurel crown over his head and whispering that all men are mortal.

After observing the auguries, I predict Obama will get an 8-10 point "bounce," which will quickly evaporate as most people forget exactly what it was Obama said.

I posted over at Guns & Rosaries on Obama, the ghost of Jimmy Carter (yes, I know he isn't dead yet) and more Roman allusions.

Well, it's better than McCain entering with a walker...

Ageism rears its ugly head! That might qualify as hate speech under ADA or something.

Hey -- wasn't FDR in a wheelchair? Oh that's right...he was EXPANDING the size and power of government. That makes it OK.

Dan Chmielewski said:

no one is going to forget that speech or those images for some time. Maybe McCain can rent the Metrodome

Jubal said:

Yes, Dan.

By the time Obama's done with this country, he'll make the lame walk, make the dumb talk and put hair on the heads of the bald.

Kal said:

I must admit, he is eye candy and I was somewhat carried away by his speech until he said taxes will be cut for 95% of the working population. How can that be? Will he have to eliminate all the tax credits? The speech was a lot of sizzle but still no steak. Sorry.

Dan Chmielewski said:

Kal - the Washington Post ran a detailed comparison of the Obama tax plan vs the McCain tax plan two days ago.

Matt I am surprised at you. Obama is talking about cutting wasteful government programs and will have details on how he plans to pay for new initiatives. I though that was the sort of red meat you Republicans live by? The guy is taking your best weapons from you. The debates will only make it worse.

That was a GREAT speech. Anyone who doesn't think so is just hopelessly biased or spinning so hard they'll never recover from the dizziness.
