So I guess you didn't notice Obama stopping in mid-sentence about half a dozen times, waiting for his teleprompter to catch up? I don't think Obama can break wind without a teleprompter.

Amazin', ain't it? More amazing is that people really buy that hogwash.
^^This.

The people who say this never are specific. What, specifically, is insane policy?

I guess you didn't notice Gov. Daniels looking at his, did you?

I'll bet you also didn't notice that Boehner didn't have a flag lapel pin on his suit. Remember how Obama was accused of being un-American for that? Where's your outrage over Boehner for the same thing now?

Hypocrisy flows out of the uber-right like oil from an old, worn out engine.

A flag pin on a suit lapel? Are you people serious?

You're all doomed to mediocrity if you gauge a person's loyalty or allegiance by what he wears on his suit lapel. God help us!

Apparentlyyou didn't watch the speech.
I'm sure you would like to believe what you said, but obama repeated the same lies he is famous for. Eleven more months of that scum and Newt will begin the healing process....
When he loses, you can move to Cuba, since you like that kind of government...

Let's remember that Obama's Republican detractors wanted him to slash spending and wanted the Federal Reserve to tighten money.

Had Obama and the Fed listened, we'd be in a much worse situation.

Oh! It's a trivial issue now, is it? I guess you don't remember all this, do you, when that flag pin was a major indication of Obama's lack of patriotism:

CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer announced (10/4/07): "It involves patriotism and the American flag. Why has Barack Obama stopped wearing a lapel pin of the U.S. flag?"


Fox News Channel (10/4/07), conservative pundit Laura Ingraham declared this was evidence that Obama was "not ready for primetime," while Fox News liberal Alan Colmes introduced a discussion of the subject by saying, "Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama has decided to discontinue a political tradition that has been the norm, for some, since September 12, 2001, wearing an American flag pin on his lapel." A guest on the show elaborated: "It's a little weird, Alan, that in the middle of the campaign, the guy takes off the American flag that most people wear because they're proud of their country."

A Chicago Sun-Times editorial (10/5/07) lamented, "Oh for Pete's sake, Senator Obama, pin the darn American flag to your chest and tell people you're as patriotic as anyone."

The New York Daily News (10/5/07) similarly compared Obama to "the average college sophomore who has lately discovered political activism," and also suggested that Obama "did more damage to his White House hopes than a bomb bursting in air."

On ABC World News with Charles Gibson (10/4/07), the anchor opened a report: "Candidates face so much scrutiny these days. And it's not just their position papers and stump speeches that are fair game. Case in point: something of a controversy that has erupted involving Democratic Sen. Barack Obama and a lapel pin."
