Check out the promotional ad for Lynn Sweet's reporting from Obama's Mideast tour, as captured from the Chicago Sun-Times Web page today. The caption reads "Lynn Sweet Aboard O-Force One! Get up-to-the-minute updates from Barack Obama's World Tour."
With the media's history of Obamagasms, wouldn't the Mile High Club be a better comparison to draw?

July 23, 2008 - 13:01 ET by candanceUp to the minute news? What is this, Tiger Beat following Hannah Montana? How much is really going to change in the next minute, other than a chance to take a photo from a new angle so the adoring fans can sigh once more?
I hope he appreciates me walking to the store to conserve more oil to propel his private jet. Louis XVI could take a few lessons in arrogance from this man.

July 23, 2008 - 13:26 ET by DoktorFrankenObama Montana - I like the sound of that! He's already posed half-naked.
BTW - I quit counting to ten long ago. Now I just let it fly. And I have quit all unnecessary travel, even though my car gets 30MPG. Not to conserve oil but to conserve $$$$.

July 23, 2008 - 14:09 ET by motherbeltHonestly, candance, I was kidding the other day when I said CNN would probably have banner icon saying "Obama: the World Tour."
It just goes to show, you simply cannot parody these people.
Michelle Malkin has this photoshop of Obama, among others. I don't know who did this, (I don't know where she got it) but this is really blasphemous...it is a photoshop of Jesus, representing His Divine Mercy

which country is O running for President in?
July 23, 2008 - 13:16 ET by UndercoverConservativeShouldn't he campaign for President of the United States in, oh, the United States?
Shouldn't he campaign to actually be the locked down, not "presumptive" Democratic nominee at least, first?
Otherwise, this guy's just a junior Senator who's trying to make policy that he's not legally allowed to make.
But, if he's counting on foreign owned press outlets to campaign for him in America, and for foreign run propaganda warriors to stump for him, and illegals to vote for him, perhaps campaigning everywhere else *but* America is the way to go.
And if he loses the election, he can run for leadership in the UN.

Is ANYONE asking this question?
July 23, 2008 - 13:28 ET by goldenthroatWho owns Osama Bama's flying billboard? Is it a charter plane? Was it donated to his campaign? And, if so, would that be a violation of any federal election rules and regulations?
"O-Force One"? Tell me this man doesn't have a cult following! The MSM has already appointed him president as they continue to follow his every move on The World Appeasement Tour!
I guess this is how he wants to change those things which need changing from the change that was made the last time there was change before any change was changed!

agreed golden
July 23, 2008 - 13:37 ET by candanceThis is very similar to the way the German media fawned over Hitler in the early 30s. I'm not saying Obama is just like Hitler - but the enthusiastic propaganda is the same.
I was struck by the same
July 23, 2008 - 14:06 ET by marvlI was struck by the same thought, and agree with you. The diagnosis is the same for both situations: mass hysterical lunacy. What worries me is the possibility that, while Obama and Hitler are 2 completely different animals, this craziness will produce the downfall of America as it did to Germany 60+ years ago. God help us.

July 23, 2008 - 17:58 ET by mandrakeCandance, can you provide me with a reading list of how the German media fawned over Hitler in the early 30's? Because my reading of history is that Hilter and his brown shirts bullied their way into power with a slim minority and then proceeded to shut the media down and replace it with Goebbels.

July 23, 2008 - 18:33 ET by Dan The Man 2And there "then proceeded to shut the media down and replace it with Goebbels" you have your answer. The MSM does not need Goebbels because they have the Dem machine and money behind it ready to sell the people crap.

Our tax dollars are paying
July 23, 2008 - 15:52 ET by liberal_bug_zapperOur tax dollars are paying for the fuel for that jet. Our tax dollars are paying for this campaign trip, and they have the audacity to claim it's on senate business.... unless someone in the Republican ranks starts an investigation... they'll get away with it... unfortunately, the republican party is doomed as it is full of a bunch of pansies.
FIGHT OR DIE.... that's it people.... FIGHT OR DIE! (politically speaking)

LBZ, If Osama Bama's trip is financed with taxpayer money...
July 23, 2008 - 17:39 ET by goldenthroatLBZ,
If Osama Bama's World Appeasement Tour is indeed being financed by taxpayer money under the guise of "senate business", then who authorized the trip? Did he consult with President Bush about it before he left?
There needs to be an investigation started immediately if not sooner! This is a campaign trip - pure and simple! The tragic and aggravating thing about this is that there will be no Republicans with the guts and courage who will call Obamessiah on the carpet about any details about the financing of this trip - zip, zilch, nada!
The MSM's gushing over this complete moronic jackass is enough to make you reach for the pepto!

I wonder if this is just a reflection of the idiots in the media (and we know them to be largely idiots), or is this symptomatic of the American people in general? Will the American people exercise some judgement and see this nonsense for what it is, a bunch of meaningless fluff? God, I hope so.

July 23, 2008 - 13:47 ET by Melodic_MetalBoth myself and my wife drive 4 cylinder cans and we have cut unnecessary travel to save $$ also. I hope this pretentious buffoon enjoys his inane 'World Tour' on O Force one (BARF). Why is the MSM have an orgasm over his ME visit? It's FAKE. The SOB would NEVER have visited the ME had it not been for somebody else mentioning it. So Barack went to the ME... AND?! WTF does that change about the arrogant, socialist, hen pecked buffoon? He's STILL a BUFFOON!
I really really really hope the public is not stupid enough to vote for this naive empty suit...

July 23, 2008 - 14:01 ET by V the KThe MSM seems curiously disinterested in the John Edwards adultery story. Can you imagine the outrage if Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee were caught cheating on his cancer-stricken wife?

July 23, 2008 - 14:11 ET by bigtimerI wonder what will happen with poor ol' Lynn Sweet when her gushing on-air love affair with Obama comes to a screeching halt?
Gosh she has been pathetic to watch from day one.

Mile high club.
July 23, 2008 - 14:20 ET by ScrapironEveryone would be surprised if the real number of 'mile high' club joiners on this trip was known. Hussein O himself has screwed 300 million Americans and millions of Jews around the world. Is that a record to go with his 'hundreds' of here votes? You only vote here when you can't or won't make a decision. Fitting for a POTUS.

July 23, 2008 - 14:36 ET by Dan The Man 2Going to be fun to watch if he loses Actually I am depressed BT, I dont think he has a chance of losing. He does seem inevitable. The only thing that gets me through is the idea that after the 400 years in bondage we will be a better people for it. Stronger and hopefully wiser, but then are we going to do 40 years in teh wilderness?

July 23, 2008 - 14:36 ET by bassndudeIf the straw poll on aol is any indication, these high flying media types are headed for a fast fall come election. If that poll is even close, Obama will lose by a electoral margin never seen before in the history of this great country.

The heck with the election. Why go through this pointless exercise? Let's just coronate the MF already. Dress Gore in Popely vestments, and he can place the holy crown on the sweet prince Obama, and make him king.
Let's do it, okay? Let's just get this over with. I can't take this any more.

July 23, 2008 - 14:44 ET by SickofLibsI commented on another thread that at least this asshole had left those friggin' podium signs and humongous backdrops home.
That was before I saw a decent photo of the Obama-1 jet with his 120-ft long idiotic slogan and his jerky logo plastered all over it. He just can't go out in public without the props.
And they said Hitler and Stalin were egomaniacs.

Obamarama's Carbon Footprint
July 23, 2008 - 21:47 ET by SquonkamaticI'll say it again, that it's interesting/revealing that nobody in the global press hegemony seems to be questioning the Obamarama World Tour's carbon footprint as he jets around the globe at the taxpayer's expense, spewing carbon emissions and burning up blood money oil secured for his use by a war that he claims to oppose. Like such media celebrities as Sting, Albert Gore Jr. and that creepy guy flown in from Thailand after confessing to the JonBenet Ramsey murder, Obama's waste of resources and money is offset by the amount of complete drivel and jaw dropping liberal doublethink that his summer jaunt seems to represent. Like we care what the Germans think about anything.
