Obama's 'Spinal Tap' Moment?

No problem with hope, just with the zealot-like following of this empty suit.

You guys got something against "hope"? Little people like "hope". But then, after all, little people are to be laughed at. Always.

Waaaaay over the top

Whatever we may think of Obama's candidacy, the ridiculously ostentatious backdrop only elevates concerns that he is too enamored with himself, that he is a callow celebrity, and that he lacks good judgment.

Will Obama enter the stadium riding on a unicorn?

Modesty was the order of the hour. The unfulfilled order.
