Obama Speaks!

I'm not alarmed by the giant stadium of 75,000 devoted followers of a politician. But I am a little freaked out by when that crowd starts to chant.

UPDATE: Chant #1: "Eight is enough." True. Constitutionally speaking, true indeed.

Personally, I always preferred "Family Ties". But it's a free country and people are entitled to their differing opinions.

It's amazing that someone can graduate from Harvard, and live in the University of Chicago's neighborhood and be so damned stupid about basic economics.

I'll leave it up to Reason writers to parse out the nonsense that he's currently dishing up to High-Hile club.

You'd think an idiot that lives in a million-dollar mansion could afford to trot over to Powell's in Hyde Park, and pick up a used paperback copy of "Economics in One Lesson" for a couple of bucks.

Pies, chips, ponies ... and HEALTH CARE for everyone!!!!

75,000 people can't counterbalance boring.

So I'm stuck with my crappy health insurance with a little lower premium but deadbeats are going to get the same coverage as members of Congress ?

There isn't any change here. Fucking DemocRATS always promise the Big Rock Candy Mountain, minus the cigarette trees of course.

Yes, America was a wretched Southeast Asian cesspool until the Messiah came to Denver:

Well he's tellin' us this
And he's tellin' us that
Changes it every day
Say's it doesn't matter
Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat
Playin' it play by play
Time to change the batter
And we don't need the ladies
Crying 'cuz the storie's sad, uh huh
