Damn. No Rammstein? No Laibach?

my hero.

I am so glad you have reported this rock band stuff.

This guy makes me so sick I cannot begin to express it.

Sitting early this morning in a German Airport was my son's best friend. He was using a computer he paid $2.00 to use for a couple of minutes while he awaited his connection to Kuwait, on his way to IRAQ.

He cannot stand SOBama

Actually, this is a great point.  I've seen it in action.

When Obama came to my city some months ago.  The Civic Auditorium exceeded its capacity of 11,000 people and many more had to be turned away.  But the propaganda wasn't fooling me.

I knew it was just because most people were there to see the musical group Bright Eyes, who was performing for 20 minutes before the rally.  Once they finished up, I'd say a good 90% of the crowd thinned out.  Each of them rushing out like the building was on fire, saying something about, "Lets get out of here before we have to listen to whats-his-face...Barama Something"

I mean, let's face it.  Barack Obama doesn't hold a candle to Conor Oberst.

May I direct your attention to a Deutsche Welle article dated July 21 entitled "Excitement Growing in Germany as Obama Speech Nears"?

www.dw-world.de/dw/a...

Now read that and similar articles from other sources and ask yourselves how many musicians it would take to guarantee a big enthusiastic crowd for Obama's Berlin speech. The musicians are definitely not the story. Obama is.

As for his crowd in Portland (where I happened to live), I seriously doubt that many of the people in attendance had even heard of the musicians who opened for him. Portland just happens to be enthusiastic for Obama. As someone who frequently walks through Portland neighborhoods ranging from working class to well off, I can testify that I have seen many Obama lawn signs and not a single one for McCain.

I doubt the band will really matter, it wasn't the Scorpians or David Hasselhoff putting on the show.

What will be interesting is to see how the speech itself is covered.  It will be hard to spin, but I'm sure the msm will try.  The fact is it was a horrible speech, totally unmemorable.

If you didn't catch it, let me recap:

Thanks for Welcoming me.

This is not a campaign speech.

Throws race card.

Boring recap of history (virtually silent crowd).

Same old grand liberal vision of fixing all problems of the world with no specifics of how to do it.

 Thank-you, have a good night.

The Decemberist thing was how I bumped into this site in the first place. The comments were hilarious...but completely off...

I just checked Drudge and they are quoting part of Obama's speech as the following:

'I come to Berlin as so many of my countrymen have come before. Tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen -- a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world.'

This whole "citizen of the world" thing really bugs me.  I have heard Catherine Zeta Jones say that in reference to how she is raising her kids (as opposed to being good American citizens).  You cannot be a citizen of the world.  You can only be a citizen of a country.  Webster's online dictionary gives the following definitions for the word "citizen": inhabitant of a city or town; a member of a state; one entitled to rights or privileges.

If Obama and other airhead celebrities want to make a point of how enlightened they are, that's fine, but they should at least say they would like to be good human beings instead of "citizens of the world."  Last I checked there was not "World Citizen Office" where I could line up to receive my citizenship.

Rush Limbaugh on his show today said: "Noel Sheppard from NewsBusters" and then commented on this article.

Berliners can see through a political fraud instantly (they never voted as a majority for Hitler and considered him a crazy, ignorant peasant.)

Here's a YouTube presentation about Omama's visit from a native Berliner. Very funny, full of Berlin wit.

The major media report only half the news. Why are they surprised they have only half the potential audience?

World News Daily reported that Obama campaign workers plastered campaign postsers all over Jerusalem's Western Wall. Just whose votes is he campaigning for? Obama has one huge ego. I guess its to make up for all of his short-comings.

Nope, haven't heard ANY of this before, good work Noel and company. So the Germans get a reggea band to smoke the spliff with, then a metal act to chug a few steins of St. Pauli Girl to ... Heck, I'd be cheering every 68 seconds also after an afternoon like that. And as usual I take great pride in pointing out that the vast, overwhelming majority of Americans don't care what the Germans think about anything ... except maybe that guy who ripped the head off the Hitler statue. He seemed kind of cool.

No, the media will not report it.

Why?

Most likely because nobody left after the "concert" which was performed by two acts that were themselves probably there to support Obama in the first place.

Sorry, but concert or not it doesn't make a difference to many either way. Not Obama and his side's fault that our guy has no idea how to campaign or for that matter seem alive and about his wits. Our fool's idea of a funny retort was to go to a German resturant. Give me a break from this joke.

I see no other option but to sit this election out, which I would never have thought I would have to do.

Americans get sick of Obama by Nov. McCain wins(holding my nose)...Democrats longing for Hillary, wishing she had been the nominee. Obama becomes the next AlGore....hahahahaha...(this is one of the saddest election seasons I have ever seen)
