I recently imagined something along the line of a Marx Brothers film:

"Barrack Hussein Obama, Half African Emperor, He is the right wings' horror, the left wing doesn't mind".

Or like "Jesus Christ, Superstar":

"O - Bama, Hey Bama, Bama Bama, Ho (?) Bama, hey Bama Ho (?) Bama. Hey, Big O, Big O, we're not fooled, you know. Well, only half of us, superstar".
“Man, I'm so hip I won't even eat a square meal!”
"We've always been at war with Eastasia." 1984, George Orwell
Tyrion: "Those are brave men knocking at our door. Let's go kill them!"
“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.” ~ James Madison quotes

Oh gee, where to start, oh yes: Obama has repeatably apologized to the world for what he claims are all the bad stuff that America did. And there's all that crap where he continued to yap about "paving a new foundation", which means that he'll demolish the old foundation the Founding Fathers built. There's some other stuff, but there's so many examples, I can't think of any.

Oh, like dismantling that Missile Defense System that could have protected Eastern Europe from Iran, but Russia complained for some stupid reason. Then there was that ugly DVD incident where Obama gave Gordon Brown those DVDs, instead of some better gift like a book or a portrait of Winston Churchill. Then Chavez called Obama "Comrade Obama", which is a real bad sign coming from a thug dictator.

Chavez is a nut, anyone who takes what he says seriously is delusional...And, while a poor choice in gifts, I dont think its really a shun, Britain certainly hasnt made a big deal over it...

and Im not seeing the point of some "Shield" that we dont even know will work, for a threat we dont even know exists, in countries that we dont have any right to put things in in the first place...

It was another exercise in Bush Fail policy, tell your allies to fuck themselves, while we do what we want, :roll:

You do not believe the United States government has ever done anything morally repugnant?

And there's all that crap where he continued to yap about "paving a new foundation", which means that he'll demolish the old foundation the Founding Fathers built.


Dude, it does not mean that. He is not burning the constitution. He means he is starting programs that digress from those of the previous President.

There's some other stuff, but there's so many examples, I can't think of any.


I am not...entirely certain that...this entirely makes sense.

I am not in favor of the way our President is conducting the business of the nation, but the moment I consider him a traitor will be the moment I lose total faith in the system of government we depend upon.

This would indeed be awesome. But it's more a happy jolly sing along about Obama and the hope he brought.

Why should Germans produce propaganda for Obama? We may like him, but we are not his citizens.
Also to quote the website
The main character is presented less on a political level, but rather as an emotional person who fights for a new, more forgiving and peaceful world and a better future.

and
Important note from the HOPE production team:
The "HOPE musical production" does not pursue any political interests with their production. Being artists, we merely stage a piece of attitude to life of the "historic year 2008" with topics still prevailing today as well as good entertainment and music!

The producers may be overly enthusiastic about Obama, but all this takes place in Germany and not on his request and therefore shouldn't be of any concern to the Obama-haters in America.

So please, you all, take your Obama bashing to another thread.

And here I thought they couldn't come up with anything worse than a musical about Eva Peron. At least this one wasn't written by Andrew Lloyd Weber. (Has he been knighted yet for "disservices to music"?)

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.

I remember quite a few British posters here being a bit miffed at the lack of thought put into the gifts. Not that its that big of a deal, but even I give better gifts half the time, and I totally suck at it.

On the other hand, if Obama has given them something lavish and extravagant it's almost a guarantee right wing outlets would have bitched about how he was spending money on luxuries while the country's economy was still in the shitter YGO style.

Arrogant, cowardly, elitist? Perhaps. Anti-American? Well, that's what all right-wingers call liberal Democrats or anyone else who disagrees with them. But a buffoon? I think not. In fact, he's the first president we've had in decades who is not a buffoon. Let us review:

Bush II: Utter buffoon.
Clinton: Buffoon.
Bush I: Buffoon. Not nearly as bad as his son, though.
Reagan: Buffoon. Almost as bad as Bush II.
Carter: Not quite a buffoon, but close, what with seeing UFO's and lusting after women. Brother Billy was a buffoon, though.
Ford: The gold standard of presidential buffoonery, at least until Bush II.
Nixon: No way was he a buffoon. Way too evil. He never said or did anything silly, just evil. His wife, however, was a buffooness.
Johnson: No buffoon either, despite buffoonish things like showing off his operation scar or lifting his dogs up by the ears. He was too damn effective, love him or hate him, to ever be a buffoon.
After that, no buffoons in the rest of the 20th century, although could be Harding and Hoover came close, I dunno. You have to go back to maybe Millard Fillmore. Did anybody ever do a musical about him?

Fun fact: the word buffoon literally means a toad (Lat. bufo).

They already made a fuss over his choice of hot dog dressing. If the man admitted to breathing air, they'd make a fuss over that too as anti-American or some such crap.

Although I would dearly love to see them try it, and be forced to hold their breath until asphyxiation sets in. The average IQ of the country would rise by several points.

It's incredible, Obama's approval rating is abysmal, and yet people are still naively cheering him on, it's sad really, to see ordinary Americans getting wound up in this worldwide Cult of Obama's Personality.
