Obama Campaign Theatrics

--Producer Phil writes

A Wall Street Journal writer, James Taranto , has uncovered a hilarious and puzzling coincidence at 5 different Sen. Obama campaign speeches over the last few months, including the recent speech in Seattle.

Dori and listeners have found one other Sen. Obama incident posted on YouTube where a person near the stage faints. Sen. Obama responds to each incident with the same routine and phrases.

Is it phoney, orchestrated, manufactured campaign theatrics or is it merely physiological coincidence? You be the judge.

Obama, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. But fool me four times I guess makes me a brain dead liberal dumocrat.

Coincident or not!

Your daughter is a true investigator. However, there is a good chance people are simply getting a bit overheated. Have you ever been standing on a stage in front of a large crowd or in front of a well lit stage? It's hot there. Been there, done it, got the t-shirt. I wonder how many folks fainted in speeches of other candidates and simply didn't get the attention of the speaker. Senator Obama may be a bit more of a show man, but at least he is paying attention to his audience.

Still a coincidence?

Come on you first two people that responded> How many does this make now - 6 - ? As I indicated, there are no such things in science and nature as a coincidence. Now it is interesting to read that the liberal thought process has changed. Now it's yea, he did it, but so what? This from a person you would have lead the last Superpower left on earth? Please, if yo have the ability to still employ critical thining skills, then use them. Be objective and see what conclusions you may come to about this person.

FAINTING SPELLS

Fainting is common. Fainting is aggravated by excitement, fear, fatigue, dehydration, heat, & anxiety. Political speeches are exciting, tiring, heated/hot, and stressful. What motive or intent would Obama have for staging a fainting spell? Answer: None.

This is hilarious...You're slaying the Easter Bunny, Dori

Right wing conspiracy? I'm sure Karl Rove set those women up to faint in the same spot time and again. Get a grip. Everyone who thinks this isn't a setup should get on Benny Hinn's mailing list. He'll save you, too. I kind of liked Barack before I saw this stuff, but now? If I want this kind of thing, I'll rent a video of Elmer Gantry.

Emperor's Clothes

So all of the "progressives" who denounce the Bush/Cheney lies and forgeries (which I didn't like!) and scream for impeachment--seem to think this is perfectly okey dokey. This goes way beyond coincidence. 6 so far. Same spiel, same script. Scary. Don't look for this on dncNBC except for Keith Overman to elect Dory The Worst Person in the World.
