I would think that CNN would have enough euphoria over Obami's speech for the entire country! Maybe, just maybe, the American people are starting to see though the smokescreen provide for Obami by the MSM. Maybe

Allow me to further my comments from the Matthews story:

The truth is, the speech was a DISAPPOINTMENT. It was bland,
uninspiring and WHOLLY predictable. Frankly, I think The Obamanation is
going to take a hit from this.

The fact that the best MSNBC's Chris Matthew's could muster was that
"it had its thrill factor" is the kind of faint praise that admits
failure.

And this is one of the very crippling flaws of The Obamanation, his
imagination. While it might fuel his rhetoric, he wrongly imagines
rhetoric is sufficient and that specifically dealing with matters of
both domestic and international concern can wait until he is able to be
in the midst of them, so that he may see which way the wind is blowing
and attempt to set sail. He is prone to the populace and not truly
given to ideas and convictions. And this shows in spectacular moments
as in this speech when he fails to deliver beyond his misplaced
confidence in his declamations.

The Obamanation is quite unlike those he wishes to imitate; leaders
who had convictions which edified their speeches and the hearers to
whom they spoke. With truly great leaders there are specifics and
certainties, characteristics sorely missing with Obama's attempted
oration.

The Obamanation spoke with generalizations that any cheap
politician, left or right, could have made. When Reagan spoke and for
that matter, Kennedy, at least you knew who the man was, what he
believed and where he wanted to lead a nation and the world. Any child
knows that talking about holding hands and that getting along is
expected, Obama never went beyond such juvenile charges.

The Obamanation's stage play expected to billow strong visions of a
man in charge and ideas that merited acquiescence by its hearers.
Instead, it was a flatlined speech, the course of which could have been
prophesied with a yardstick. Obama was naked, and gave no sense of
political armament. His only saving grace were the eager disciples in
attendance who are lead about by their naivety, those interested in the
novelty and those nice enough not to walk away when they realized this
was just a shadow of a true leader.

Next Please! If you claim to be a conservative, please don't disgrace yourself and conservatism by thinking and arguing like a liberal.

Three blind mice.  Lets wait until November when Blitzer cries again after BO's concession speech (of no more hope).  These news groups will continue to fail as the very old TV model will die.

Amanpour:  But I was surprised that there wasn't this sort of euphoria afterwards, given how many people had come to listen and how much it had been anticipated.

Having raised expectations so high, a letdown was nearly inevitable.

She later stated in the segment that one unnamed political analyst talked about how “people [in Europe] want a political redeemer -- I mean, that's very specific language..."

That's the messianic theme surfacing in another form.  Unfortunately, all they've got is a candidate spouting platitudes that sound a lot like the hippies in 1968.

By the way, you can hear now the sounds of people dismantling everything that was put up for this event.

Including the speech and the candidate. 

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

To CNN, "going it alone" means without Germany and France. 

Does anyone at CNN know what happened to the leaders of those two countries who forced the U.S. to "go it alone?" 

 Marxism...Obami can not possibly think his brand of re-distribution of wealth will play in our country. Americans are more freely giving then any other country on the planet. When he talks of "distributing more wealth, from countries that have much, to countries that have little" is Neo-Lenninism at it's finest. He means our government re-distributing more of our wealth to poorer countries. I just wonder what his cut will be, he is after all, from Chicago. There is no other explanation.

We have to keep this sorry SOB away from the White House. Or we sure will be distributing more of wealth, forcibly.

The media is always so taken with Europeans, and what they want...... Europeans (and the media) have always wanted a political redeemer, and they've gotten them with regularity: Hitler, il Duce, Stalin, just to name a few.

"it's not really based on facts, the -- what they think about Obama, because they don't really know. It's based on expectations.”

That about sums it up. Obama can not be elected if the facts about him are widely known. That's why the facts have to be hidden, and they have to roll out something else. They call it "expectations". I call it bulls**t.

As usual CNN lies about Bush's "go-it-alone" policy. First he had the backing of Congress (he could have been impeached for not going to war, as a matter of fact). Second, 45 countries particpated one way or the other in the war with Iraq, and still many country continue to lend support to this day, both in troops and other assistance. Also, the conclusion of experts is becoming more and more that it was the right thing to do all along, whether we had support from other countries or not.

Amanpour is so blinded by her bias, she cannot tell the truth if it sat in her lap and called her "mama."

“why do they apparently like him so much, not only in Germany, but throughout Western Europe?” Because he's a wussy socialist liberal.... like most of Europa these days... Thank goodness for the Polish.

NOBAMA 08 !!!

If I may borrow from the (milder) words of Archie Bunker:

Geez.  If you put Christiane Amanpour's brains in a bird, it would fly backwards!

Wasn't there like a 3 hr rock concert before his speech. Could that be why most of the people were there? Who does Amanpour and the rest of the liberal media think they're fooling? Germans don't care about who leads America, just like I don't care who leads Germany. At least one reporter had the guts to report that people were heckling BHO in Isreal.

is the most pathetic way of getting your own personal views, or ones that you agree with, in front of the camera without admitting to it.

except for our fine providers of newsbusters, there is no such thing as journalist integrity anymore.

sweetheart......do you really think they came to see this black fellow...I think not...they came for the "free" rock concert, beer and food....how stupid does this Owama boob think we really are?
