Is Obama a joke or our nightmare?

I think Obama is a joke.

However this sounds insulting, it is true.

He is the product of 21-century television.

It is the time when Turner’s dream became true. First he sought of the News as an Entertainment. Then, after he succeeded, he came up with an idea: why should we report the news if we can create them.

And this is what CNN does.

At the same time the conventional television came up with an appealing and a cheap idea of the “reality TV”, like the “American Idol” or the “America’s Next Top Model”, etc.

The smart one, Oprah Winfrey, being a product of Reality TV, came up with an idea, what about the new show: “The American Black President”? And she launched it.

Here we go.

How long we are planning to spend our life in the stupid TV land, which was our babysitter from the word go? Do we really need a babysitter?

Wake up America!

    I thought, that after the rein of GWB we would be able to grow up and get rid of the innocent notion that we are blessed no matter what.

    Quite possible we are at the real end of this notion and Obama is the icing on this deadly cake.

    I can only hope that I am wrong, but I am afraid that I am right and Obama is the payoff for our obsession with TV reality shows.

    It is time to awake up or else!

    PS

    For now this election looks very entertaining for an outsider:

    Radio generation, dysfunctional family, but father knows the best, Sex – may be, Drugs – no, Alcohol – Yes with the twist, kill Indians, divide and conquer.

    Early TV generation, dysfunctional family but, behind every man there is a woman, Sex – Drugs & Rock-and Roll, kill foreigners, unite and conquer.

    Reality TV generation, dysfunctional family but, we are our own idols, self convinced, Sex – Drugs – Alcohol, perhaps, if it looks good and works for my career, kill for a reason, connive and conquer.

    Wait for a new generation:

    Video/computer games, nothing matters, Sex – may be, Drugs – sure, Wine – what is it? kill anybody for fun or for self-esteem, triumph over, prevail and conquer.

    Both.

    He is a joke because he should not be even in this race now. The media played him up and brought Hillary down. Now the Media is bring Obama down because of recent issues and they know he will be running in November for President.

    And thanks to the media McCain (who is already a nightmere) will get in easy because Obama will lose big time to him. And that is one reason Obama is a nightmere. When in reality Hillary should be running against McCain because she would have a better shot beating him.

    Another reason why he is both is he will not change anything if he ever gets in. He just talks good speeches with no good substance about changing things. And he also lacks experience.

    What else make him both is the support that he is getting for Oprah. She never endorse any one for president, tell obama came along. Why? Because he is black. And the dumb people who watch her show now supports of Obama too! Any one who listens to some one like Oprah is both a joke and nightmere in their self. People wake up! Donot support someone like Oprah said so. Support some one who has all the right stuff. And not someone who just gives speeches all the time!

    And by the way, reality TV and American Idol sucks!

    Obama is a little bit of both. He is totally naive and has never accomplished one thing, as a US Senator, but then, neither has Hillary. Obama knows nothing about foreign policy or the economy., but then, neither does Hillary.

    Quite frankly, I don't waste my time watching reality television shows. They bore me to tears. I love your analogy with Oprah, being a product of Reality TV, coming up with an idea about the new show, "The American Black President". I can't believe she supported him like she did. What has happened to her own television show ratings? She seems to have almost disappeared from the campaign trail.

    Both, however the question itself is the beautiful part, apparently YOU GET IT!!!! Give yourself a big pat on the back and try to spread the word. Most people will respond like you have three heads, one of them purple. Keep trying though someone may listen

    It depends...if he doesn't make it past the nomination, a joke. If he makes it into the general election, a nightmare. Either way though, he WON'T, repeat WON'T be the next President.

    Obama is done.....finished......the jeremiah wright scandal destroyed him. And Obama only has himself to blame. Had he condemned then disowned his racist scum of a pastor a couple of months ago when the story first became news, he would have proven he had integrity. Now he has NONE. TOO LITTLE TOO LATE It ain't gonna fly now. Nobody is going to admit being that stupid to still support Obama at all.

    He would only be considered a nightmare if he actually had a chance of winning the election. Since that isn't gonna happen, he's simply a very entertaining joke. The joke even gets better when you consider that he & Hillary are the best the Dems can do.

    Obama is more of a con-artist who is being run out of town by America.

    Source(s): Obama may have failed as a Presidential Candidate but Obama has become a rap idol because of the rap songs made about him by Charlie Check'm & Soulja Boy
