Rise of the Obamatons
Clooney and Halle Berry are on-board. The other vapid Hollywood denizens can't be far behind. And then, the mindless hordes who idolize them while zoning out before their big-screen thought-control boxes.
From The Politico:
From The Politico:
"This is not a campaign for president of the United States, this is a movement to change the world... You do not get 13,000 people in this auditorium with a campaign."
As over the top as it may have sounded, Cummings' sentiments weren't all that unusual.
Because when it comes to Obama, hyperbole seems to be the rule, not the exception.
His charms seem tough to resist, even for some of Hollywood’s biggest names.
"He walks into a room and you want to follow him somewhere, anywhere," George Clooney told talk show host Charlie Rose.
"I'll do whatever he says to do," actress Halle Berry said to the Philadelphia Daily News. "I'll collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear."
Welcome to the cult of Barack Obama.

At least I'm starting to see a trend of some MSM challenging Obama on various grounds. Here's another article starting to question Obama (from a self-proclaimed Obama supporter!), to go with the ones from NYT and Samuelson I sent the other day.
BTW, not for nothing, but this accusation being leveled against McCain is another reason I was pro-Mitt. NO baggage in his past. So even if the NYT and other bogus media outlets wanted to run a smear campaign using the thinnest of evidence that wouldn't hold up in a civil trial let alone criminal, they couldn't. Of course this is not McCain's fault: if the NYT wants to be an irresponsible media rag, that's their right. Nonetheless it could hurt our candidate.
