The Pink Flamingo :: How Can You Tell When Barack Obama Is Obamating?

HIS LIPS ARE MOVING
"...“It is not going to be a political speech,”
said a senior foreign policy adviser, who spoke to reporters on background.
“When the president of the United States goes and gives a speech,
it is not a political speech or a political rally.
“But he is not president of the United States,” a reporter reminded the adviser...."

Andrea Mitchell nails Chris Matthews as she takes down the Obamassiah.

"...Let me just say something about the message management. He didn't have reporters with him, he didn't have a press pool, he didn't do a press conference while he was on the ground in either Afghanistan or Iraq. What you're seeing is not reporters brought in. You're seeing selected pictures taken by the military, questions by the military, and what some would call fake interviews, because they're not interviews from a journalist. So, there's a real press issue here. Politically it's smart as can be. But we've not seen a presidential candidate do this, in my recollection, ever before..."

This is just way much fun today. I was going to go on the wagon and not Obaminate, but let's face it, fun is fun. Let's start with Katie Couric's interview with the Obamassiah and then He Who Has Not A Snowball's Chance In Hell of Winning. (FYI - who's 10 points ahead in Ohio?) (H/T - Gateway)

Then we switch to ABC.

PJ Media on Obama and Maliki

"...Obama is lucky in that his host, Prime Ministe Maliki, is also going through an election season. He’s even luckier that Maliki has been convinced by the close circle around him that Obama is going to win the American presidential race. The state-owned Al-Sabah quoted a senior official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the subject, as saying: “The change in the prime minister’s position has to do with his own perception of the political developments in the United States…Maliki thinks that Obama is most likely to win in the presidential election and that he will withdraw his country’s troops from Iraq as he pledged in his campaign.” The official added that Maliki sees that “he’s got to take preemptive steps before Obama gets to the White House.”

This is why both men have appeared to be in perfect harmony recently; one lending generous support to the other. But this is not solid harmony because both men are acting like this due to mere speculations and/or flawed advice from their aides during critical moments in election seasons. Maliki, for example, knows very well that had Obama’s vision for Iraq been adopted two years ago, he wouldn’t be enjoying the position and power he does today, and the progress in Iraq wouldn’t have been achieved.

The call for disengagement in the way Obama proposes (and Maliki cautiously endorses) is based on a vision that goes no further than the upcoming elections in both countries and thus an indicator of dangerous selfishness. The two men are gambling with victory against true enemies of their nations in the hope of achieving victory against personal electoral foes. The obvious confusion in Maliki’s recent statements forced government spokesmen and top officials to appear several times to correct or retract what he said. This indicates that much of what Maliki is saying these days is for personal/partisan electoral purposes and does not represent the strategy of the state of Iraq...."

The Obamassiah, who is speaking near a landmark dear to the heart of little Nazis everywhere, is now banning protest signs when he speaks at said Nazi landmark. But, the big development, I think, is the fact that someone isn't flying on all thrusters. We're not dealing with reality stupid. Someone thinks Obama is already POTUS. I wonder if it is the candidate or his staffers?

THE SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE OF THE WEEK:
John McCain does not stand a snowball's chance of winning. So like way so Presidential, way so like way so Presidential. Way, dude. John McCain is way like a hero, but Obama's winning. John McCain is losing.
