Amir Taheri has an interesting piece on B-HO...O's Tour De Farce.

"He looked like a man in a hurry," a source close to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said last week. "He was not interested in what we had to say."

He was not an immigrant.

Touché.

it’s ok to talk about your identity if you’re from Texas or a veteran but not if your father was an immigrant?

Immigrant? He was not an immigrant. He came to Hawaii as a foreign student, stayed long enough to knock up O’s mom and abandoned them, return to that hell hole he came from, and impose his marxist views on the people and make their miserable lives even more miserable.

Yeah, we get it Barry.
You’re half black.

I’m not sure I understand the rules- it’s ok to talk about your identity if you’re from Texas or a veteran but not if your father was an immigrant?

Oh Man!
This is too rich. Found this story at Spiegel, and they report that, just like B-HO’s event in Portland, with a huge turnout, they had live bands to attract the crowd, before B-HO’s appearance.

++ Fan Mile Fills Up ++

6:14 p.m.: An hour to go before Obama’s speech and tens of thousands of people have already made their way to the Fan Mile. The visitors have to empty their bags and go through metal detectors similar to airport security checks.

++ Pop Concert for Obama Fans ++

6:33 p.m.: The tens of thousands of Obama fans are being entertained as they await the senator. The reggae musician Patrice kicked things off, followed by the rock band Reamonn.

++ Obama Makes His Way to Victory Column ++

7:02 p.m.: Obama leaves his hotel to make his way to the Victory Column, where he is to give his speech. Around 100,000 people are reported to be awaiting him there.

++ Obama Arrives at Victory Column ++

7:21 p.m.: Obama takes to the podium to cheers of “Yes, we can.”

He never finishes that last sentence, must be one of those coded fill in the blank messages.
Anyway, the media didn’t report the large crowd gathered for the free concert before B-HO spoke in Portland, and I will be surprised if they report the free concert in Berlin.
What media bias?

You mean everyone didn’t hold hands, and sing We Are The World?
I was having a late lunch, and after getting my order, went into the dining room with the tv. It was probably on CNN, but regardless, B-HO was up there stuttering and stammering, so I made a quick about face, cursing his visage loudly, to which a number of people gave me a stern look, but said nothing. I went to the patio and enjoyed my lunch.
I was listening to Hugh Hewitt’s show on the way home, a repeat from earlier this afternoon, and Dean Barnett said even the most notable lefty blogs weren’t talking about his Berlin performance.
