Right before the 9:35am segment, on Monday's "Today" show, a commercial from NBC News was aired announcing a special DVD on Barack Obama's life story was for sale on its Web site. What is particularly odd is that a news organization would actually use Obama's own campaign slogan to title the DVD, and if memory serves there was no special DVD offered for George W. Bush's inauguration. The question has to be asked how much time will the DVD devote to such gaffes as Barack's "bitter" quote or Michelle's "For the first time...I'm proud to be an American," quote as well as any Jeremiah Wright/Bill Ayers mentions compared to any time given to NBC's own Chris Matthews and Lee Cowan "thrill" moments.
The following ad was aired during the November 10th, "Today" show:
ANNOUNCER: NBC News Presents, "Yes We Can! The Barack Obama Story!" A DVD of his life and road to the White House. Pre-order now at NBCSTORE.COM.
The following is the description of the video found on the NBC Store Web site:
NBC News presents "Yes We Can!" the story of Barack Obama. This commemorative DVD takes you through the story of Barack Obama's life - his campaign to win his party's nomination, his campaign for the presidency, and finally his victorious history-making win. DVD extras include footage of the full inspiring speeches which were the most pivotal and memorable ones of his 2-year campaign.
Run Time: approx. 4 Hours

I thought "yes we can"
November 10, 2008 - 17:27 ET by inquiring_ mindsI thought "yes we can" (si se puede) was the battle cry of illegal immigrants during their demonstrations against enforcement of immigration laws.
Yes it is. I wonder if it's
November 10, 2008 - 18:20 ET by rbosqueYes it is. I wonder if it's a coincidence that those lawbreakers (who supported Obama) march on the communist holiday MayDay parades? ;^\

November 10, 2008 - 18:34 ET by DingbatInteresting article...esp:
An all-pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or
behavior), need for admiration or adulation and lack of empathy,
usually beginning by early adulthood and present in various contexts. Five (or more) of the following criteria must be met:
grandiose and self-important (e.g., exaggerates achievements and
talents to the point of lying, demands to be recognized as superior
without commensurate achievements)
with fantasies of unlimited success, fame, power or omnipotence,
unequalled brilliance (the cerebral narcissist), bodily beauty or
sexual performance (the somatic narcissist), or ideal, everlasting,
all-conquering love or passion
convinced that he is unique and, being special, can only be understood
by, should only be treated by, or associate with, other special,
unique, or high-status people (or institutions)
excessive admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation, or failing
that, wishes to be feared and notorious (narcissistic supply)
entitled. Expects unreasonable or special and favorable priority
treatment. Demands automatic and full compliance with his expectations
He's 9 for 9 by this account. My Sainted Mother would say it more simply: He sure is full of himself.

MSM cashing in on Obama worship
November 10, 2008 - 20:42 ET by nkviking75Lots of MSM outlets are trying to cash in on Obama. In my own state, the Des Moines Register is selling a print of their front page from the day after the election. Their excuse is that this election is "historic" (and it is) becasue a black man won. BTW, what are the chances that the MSM would make all this fuss over the first woman VP if McCain and Palin won? Zero.
Welcome to the era of unity, you racist!
How long will it be?
November 11, 2008 - 00:29 ET by gordonHow long before this piece of trash is in the bargain bin at Wal-Mart for $1.99? The media whores at NBC should jump off the top floor of the Rockefeller Center for ruining what was once a good and trusted company. I'll pay to have the diving board installed. Everyone keeps asking the question, "How low can these people stoop?" My answer is, "they're not done yet!". Its like some kind of bizarre limbo contest to see who can get the lowest under the bar of truth.
Coming Soon...
