| "This man is Jesus," shouted one man, spilling his Guinness as Barack Obama began his inaugural address. "When will he come to Kenya to save us?" If Barack Obama's spin doctors have been trying to lower expectations since his election victory, the message clearly has not reached the land of his father. "Now he is president we will get food and jobs," said Ben Ochieng, as he danced to the traditional music that replaced the planned show. The Kenya National Theatre even revived its hit show Obama The Musical, which wowed sell-out audiences during the US election last year. It uses parallels with the Bible Story and Mr Obama's own struggles with racism and drugs � documented in his memoir Dreams From My Father - to portray the incoming President as a saviour for downtrodden peoples of the world. "It is right that when people get power they look after their family, so we know that Obama will build lots of good things for us, like schools and roads and clinics," said George Opiyo as he left the theatre. |

| Originally posted by ChemEnhanced I have heard Obama being referred to as a saint, as a man who is bringing the human race together, and as the greatest leader ever. Peoples expectations are too high and they will quickly learn that he is none of these things. People expect him to not only turn the US Economy around but the entire world economy around. When he has to start moving away from promises he made and when people start seeing he isn't the next jesus...um I mean Tiesto....then we will see what kind of leader he is. |
When in doubt, close with a quote from George Washington 
words are words
monumental times but what can he truly deliver.
the USA/UK is run by various secret societies and the fact that the Federal Reserve which prints all their money is a PRIVATE bank run by the richest families in the US means that he is ultimately controlled by them if not run by them in the first place.
Don't be fooled...

One more thing, I really don't understand why it is so difficult for people from outside this country to understand why some of us are so god damned happy to have a president who is actually intelligent and thoughtful in the white house. We've had a complete imbecile in office for the last 8 years, I think we have a right to be a little happy.

The people calling Obama jesus are just as stupid as those who called George Bush a clueless monkey. Re, your original point, that the pretty speeches won't mean crap when he fails to deliver, you can't possibly know right now whether or not he will fail to deliver, (signs point to an excellent start judging by who he is surrounding himself with and early plans), and yeah, of course most people are fucking retarded and have ridiculous expectations, this is America after all, but that doesn't mean that intelligent people like myself and many others can't recognize the enormous potential of a man who is very fucking capable, very serious, and probably one of the finer presidential prospects we've had in years. Pretty speeches are where you start. Pretty speeches inspire people and motivate them, in dire times. Nothing George Bush has said in the last 4 years has done a thing for anyone, in reassurance, and in confidence, but everyone can get behind Obama because of that confidence that he inspires, and that is a good fucking place to start in the face of such disastrous situations. There's no doubt in my mind that in 4 months the average Joe who was crying at the inauguration over Jesus is going to be like "wheres mah gad damn stimulus" and wondering why we don't live in a Utopia already. But the rest of us who actually have a brain will be able to more accurately measure his success, and parrying the insinuation that Obama is all talk and no substance is absurd at this point. He has demonstrated enormous substance to those in the know, and to people who follow politics and world affairs. The question is, is his ambition great enough to really implement the types of grandiose measures that are going to make a difference long after his term(s) end, and get the country back on track. |

| Originally posted by Sukhoi29SU mmm hmmmm..... Koresh instilled confidence in a lot of people, too. I'm missing the logic in your argument. Other than being a great public speaker with an obvious ability to persuade, what has Obama accomplished in his political career that would make you believe he'll be a good president? |

| Originally posted by The17sss you make some good points in that little monologue. Time will tell. To the point made above, what's your take on Geithner being appointed to Sec. of Treasury and blaming his $42,000 in taxes he never paid on his inability to navagate Turbo Tax? Would you agree that, because the Treasury Secretary essentially runs the IRS, perhaps there should be a different appointment made for this position?? |

great public speaker? apparently people haven't heard him when he doesn't have a pre-written speech or a teleprompter. he rivals stuttering john when met with a tough question and then he doesn't answer it. the cult of obama is a symbol of just how powerful the media is and why it needs to be stopped.
You guys think his speech was great? lol you're all bigger tools than I thought then. His speech was nothing more than the same old diatribe that's been said by every President before him. I guess since Obama uses his hands to "pin-point/underline" certain sentences it makes him sound more "genuine." This is deja vu.
Thanks for playing! Come back in another 4 years

Yea let's whip up some random clips to back up an argument.
