At least the openly communist Communists had well-made, if blocky and monochrome signs.

Doesn't he just give you that good 'ol down home take your shoes off we're all together now feeling when you see him with those signs?
What a phony. He's at least a fake, and maybe a fraud. Duping millions of Americans into thinking he's something he's not. How does he sleep at night?

When someone from the campaign was coming toward my direction with a sign that said "Tejanos for Obama," I held to my camcorder tightly because I didn't want to be holding a sign just because I'm Hispanic.

"Psst. Here's a sign. Yeah, I know you didn't make it yourself but don't say anything and no one will be any the wiser."

If John McCain did something like this and was caught at it, the media would be all over it.

This whole thing is really a bad sign.

Shrug,

I read what you said in the last post and I think that we agree:

The man went way overboard, professionally and most likely criminally.

Crafty like a possum. (stolen from Jaunte)

Everything about Comrade Obama is fake, it's all about jive talking, hoodwinking and bamboozling.

I was for the sign before I was against it.

re: #13 Albertanator

The Audacity of Rudeness.

Pretty soon we'll have spontaneous Obama rallies. Al la N. Korean, Iran, China.

They should have taken it to the next step, and make real Little Rascals signs. You know, backwards letters, spell school with a "k" etc.

Anybody else have the scary feeling that NOTHING we see in the news anymore is REAL?

re: #18 David IV of Georgia

agree completely

You lying SOB.

How about the folks in the audience hoping that they were going to get one of the signs to hold? Some of them sounded like they were getting free t-shirts at the baseball game.

Obie might be a fake, but Michelle? She's the real deal.

I love the glossy finish on one of the "homemade" signs around 00:36.

You know, you just KNOW, that if McCain did this it would be shouted to the rooftops. But Obama gets a giant pass.

Just like that supposedly "biggest ever political rally" which was actually a free concert by the Decemberists which Obama just happened to show up at. But no one in the MSM talked about it being a concert.

Remember that scene where Tinkerbell is so angry she flies through a leaf and it burns to a crisp? That's me sitting here in my chair.

Michelle's a lady.

Here's your sign.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I have had my third Vodka, and I had better sign off before I say something radically insane, such as "I am beginning to wonder if Obama is really about change."

Michelle loves this country. "Like where else on earth could someone like me have gotten this far with so little to justify that kind of success?"

Some kind of Sauron is behind this, IMHO.

I wonder who make's these signs. Somewhere there must be a printing company that specializes in making crappy looking signs with a group rate discount.

That would be if Sherry Glasser were holding the sign.

I've seen Obama stickers on taxis in Bermuda......

I missed the sign that said Lightworkers for Obama

I'm Shocked!

How could the great and powerful Obama come up with such a ruse? Doesn't he already have a huge groundswell of supporters with their own signs? (And giant puppets!) For what reason could they be making up signs and handing them out? Could it be that Obama doesn't want true signs of his supporters behind him?

Obama the uniter, yet he hands out professionally made signs that say "Tejanos for Obama". Segregating Latinos. Keeping the U.S. divided.

They were not very popular. No airplay. Pretty obscure Indie act. Might have drawn 2000 at most.

These people were there for O.

re: #109 AK oilfield worker LMAO
I know this post has been "postmortem" for a lonnnng time, but as I read through it I see such great HUMOUR. Love all you lizards.

I'm just glad there's a news source on the Web where I can get info like this. If the MSM still had a monopoly on news, I would have never heard about it.

re: #78 Gozer the Carpathian

I'm Shocked!

How could the great and powerful Obama come up with such a ruse? Doesn't he already have a huge groundswell of supporters with their own signs? (And giant puppets!) For what reason could they be making up signs and handing them out? Could it be that Obama doesn't want true signs of his supporters behind him?

Interesting point. He really doesn't need a bunch of Daily Ko[o]s-[Oom] creeps holding signs straight out of Zombietime's Hall of Shame.

/And without those feckless feckweasels he can't win.

re: #223 Cali White Bear

ofcourse campaigns make signs to hand out, the way they make garden signage and bumperstickers-- the POINT is (besides protuding out of the middle of BHussein's head) that HIS campaign made signs that are supposed to LOOK grassroots/homemade to give the ILLUSION that "just folks" (workers, housewives, children) think he's their man and they all MADE their OWN signs to show this.

Fake --like every single thing about this man.

It's not the most important thing to find abhorrent, no. But, as any attorney would tell you, it goes to FRAME OF MIND, to motive, to character-- or in his case, lack of character.

The man is a trojan horse. Inside all that shuck-n-jive is something that will destroy America, from the inside out.
He's not stupid or naive. He knows exactly what he's doing. Starting with his Weather Underground friends and campaign hosts to his Muslim financial buddy Rezko to his America-hating sugar daddy, Soros, to his race-baiting, hatefilled spiritual mentor, kookoo-Wright.

The dots all connect. The picture is a dangerous one.

The Audacity of Hate.

re: #47 FreeIowa

More likely a VERY high-end strategic communications company is behind this. The enormity of the fraud being perpetrated is staggering.

re: #79 shibumi

I'd put money on it.

$500,000,000.

re: #172 Ringo the Gringo

I'm going to a party tonight that will be chock full of Obama supporters; the wife keeps telling me that I need to bite my lip.....Should I listen to the wife?....(she's usually right).

Because of the very "New Class" profession I'm in, people I meet professionally automatically assume I'm rooting as hard for zer0bama as they do, and start ranting to me about this. I generally steer the conversation away from politics as fast as I can, but some people just cannot let go. Pleading the Fifth Amendment doesn't always work either ;-)

Since Illinois will go for the zer0bama anyhow (even McGovern carried his own state), I have very little incentive to try changing anybody's mind, at least locally.

That a professional politician would be an egomaniac and power-hungry is, to me, a given. But this sn0bama is exceptional even by those standards. He's a chip right off his biological father's/sperm donor's block (judging from what I read about him)
* [at least superficially] flashy intelligence: check [Don't forget BHO Sr. did get a Harvard Ph.D. before "affirmative action".]
* all-consuming ambition and hubris [which eventually led to BHO Sr.'s downfall]: check
* smooth blarney artist: check
* good looks that make the ladies (and certain men) swoon: check
* leftist (not just liberal) leanings: check

As for "the gift of gab": I know quite a few academics who are extremely articulate when they can think their sentences over (on paper, while preparing for a lecture) but speak like er-Bama when forced to think on their feet. Does that mean they are stupid? Of course not. It does go to show you that whatever skills are required to be, say, a lecturer in law or a professor of physics do not necessarily translate to being a successful CEO of a company, let alone running the mightiest nation on Earth. Or conversely, for that matter. I know very well that the very things that make me successful at my day job would make me unsuitable for any form of elected office.

I wonder if these "home-made" signs are billed (cost) the same as professionally done signs? Somebody could make a mint here.

I still have not seen ONE John McCain sign in Winston-Salem, NC. Obama, and Hillary signs, are still scattered out in almost every neighborhood. Visually, I feel like I'm living in a world of fools and idiots who continue to follow the group instead of discovering the truth for themselves. But when I take in the Space Between, houses without Obama signs, I'm suddenly overwhelmed with optimism again and blood pressure returns to normal.

nothing new here. campaigns have been doing this for years. no doubt, when it's found out it will be a right wing conspiracy.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you back McCain, it is critical to put a yard sign up early.
Network effects are critical to a campaign. If your neighbors are on the fence, and see a sign, it will cause them to think.

BTW, Obama is very smart. He is a Chicago politician. They have no trouble lying, cheating or stealing. They have no problem throwing sharp elbows, being dirty and accusing the other side of being dirty and making it stick.

re: #9 Roentgen

Duping millions of Americans into thinking he's something he's not. How does he sleep at night?

By changing his mattress everyday and throwing the old one under the bus.

Obviously his supporters can't read or spell so it's up to BIG GOVERNMENT (OBAMANATION) to give them signs, just like the Obamanation will give them benefits. Just a small preview of the nanny state under the Obamanation.

God, that's good! Sing it to the mountain tops.

I keep expecting the Up With People tour bus to drive up and smiling moonbats to come out dancing and singing.

re: #113 David IV of Georgia

Future captives who favor a weak military for Obama.

Oh no, communists favor a strong military... when they ruling class uses it against the citizens.

I think of the "home-made signs" like I think of "home-made pie" signs I see at restaurants. Don't fall for it.

Good job, TerryAnnOnline!

They might have swiped the idea from Eugene Burdick's novel, The 480. There the candidate's handlers arrange signs that appear as if they were created spontaneously on the backs of signs of the opposing candidate--as if his supporters had suddenly switched their allegiance to someone they recognize as the superior candidate. It is planned in advance.

Whatevs. Mass producing "homemade" signs is a common campaign practice. There was a quick segment about it in Journeys With George the hilarious (and even-handed!) HBO documentary about Bush's 2000 campaign made by - of all people - Nancy Pelosi's daughter, Alexandra. Netflix the crap out of it.

I pity the poor trees that were ground-up and used for all those “homemade” Obama signs.

These signs are straight out of the Entertainment Industries Playbook.
My step-son goes to various kid events here in the Los Angeles area. And I usually end up taking him and sitting around.
Disney Games, Nick, Kids Choice Awards etc...
The Production folks will not allow kids to bring in homemade signs...so the Production people make the signs...then pass them out to all the willing kids. Most the kids think that by holding the sign and waving it around...that they might get the camera panned towards them.

I feel short-changed.

only McCain can defeat osama & obama
