Obamedia award of the day: “He didn’t even sweat!”

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 25, 2008 04:07 PM

A BILD reporter works out with Barack Obama. Get her a drool cup, stat.

BILD = bilge:

As thousands waited at the Sieges Saule monument in Berlin to hear Obama’s sensational speech, a BILD reporter met Barack all alone – in the gym! Here’s the incredible account of Judith Bonesky’s meeting…

It’s 16:02pm and I’ve been training in the gym of the Ritz Carlton hotel in Berlin. A man in a suit approaches me and says: “Barack Obama is about to come and train …“ Shortly after half past four and he actually arrives! Barack Obama is wearing a grey t-shirt, black tracksuit bottoms – and a great smile!

… “My name’s Judith” I reply. “I’m Barack Obama, nice to meet you!” he says, and puts his arm across my shoulder. I put my arm around his hip – wow, he didn’t even sweat! WHAT A MAN!

Join the ogling, bawling entourage, Judith.

    I laughed at this, partially because (even as an Obama supporter) I think 1) it’s so silly, I can’t believe something so absurd and unimportant is being “reported” and 2) repeated 3) um…here! This site has really become far, far more Obama obsessed than any other media outlet. Oh, the irony!

    Now that the Journalists that are supposed to keep the American Citizen informed as to the conduct of our politicians have become the 5th column of the democrap party, we see the ‘inside’ reporting that is to be if this clown steals the presidency. I do not believe that these past elections have been that far in favor of Dems without voter fraud being rampant. Clinton only won because of Perot’s taking of the conservative vote from Bush, Sr.

    I cannot believe anything these idiots (MSM Journalists)describe, they are all liars and propagandists. Heaven help us if Obamalamadingdong wins. They will continue to sing his praises, they are so duped.

    Wow! Real men don’t sweat now? I guess she didn’t notice that he greeted here BEFORE he did his workout. BTW, was this one of the workouts he did in lieu of going to visit the wounded soldiers because he couldn’t bring his media entourage?

    Methinks Judith was hoping to wallow in a little of that holy sweat. I bet she never bathes again, presuming she did prior to this holy interlude.

    Yeah, we are “whiners.” Of course, you picked all the little things. How about the gaffes, the ignorance, the blatant mistakes, the covered up anti Obama protesters, the adoring press and their unrepentant support of Democrats (because the are Democrats) etc., etc?

    When the “holy one” gets the same scrutiny as Bush gets, tell me I am a whiner. Be a little objective yourself and look at what a bill of goods you are being sold. Look at what a truly empty Teflon suit you are supporting.

    Until then, you are just sucking wind.

    So the gym was more important than meeting with wounded American heroes from the war?

    In any case, I like McCain going on the offensive against Barack Hussein Obama, though this article linked to on Drudge is typical MSM spin. The reporter sounds like he defending his lover, Obama, from attacks at the end:

    Ah, methinks the conservative grapes are tasting rather sour today.

    No, not really. For all his bloviating and the adoration-worship of some people, Obama’s in a statistical lock with McCain (and gaining in battleground states) and that Obama’s received no significant gain in the polls from this whirwind rockstar tour.

    The lustre is off the halo. People are starting to realize Obama’s not all he’s cracked up to be – just your typical, inexperienced politician.

    As for what the rest of the world thinks…I. COULDN’T. CARE. LESS. They want Obama? They can have him.

    But the shift in places like France is away from the sort of Nannyism Obama endorses and toward politicians who are more favorable toward America and reembracing the concepts that made Western Civilization great indicates a shift to the right, not the left.

    Liberals are starting to wear out their welcome with things like environmentalism, multiculturalism, politically correct facism, and all-around bloated government meddling in the lives of people.

    If Obama wins, he’ll push it over the edge.

    So keep trying, but the higher Obama flies, the harder he’ll fall.

Cindy McCain was denied a visit with the soldiers on the U.S.S. comfort because it was viewed as a campaign stop. So could either one of them have gone through with their visit if they went alone, without any staff?

    Sonofdy,

    ALL the MSM reporters sound like Obama-maniacs. The bias in this AP article headlined by Drudge right now is incredible:

    http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080725/D925392G0.html

    McCain also was to spend the weekend in Arizona and make a round of television news shows on Sunday.

    Everywhere he went in recent days – in New Hampshire, Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio and here in Colorado – the Arizona senator drew warm and appreciative crowds. No matter that many, if not most, of those in the audiences were senior citizens. Seniors vote in big numbers.
    For the most part, the side-by-side images weren’t pretty: [this guy is supposed to be objective?]

    _Obama meeting with leaders in Iraq, McCain on a golf cart in Kennebunkport, Maine, with the first President Bush.

    _Obama before a sweeping Mideast landscape, McCain holding a news conference in a supermarket in Bethlehem – Pennsylvania, that is – and narrowly escaping an attack from a tumbling stack of apple sauce jars.

    _Obama delivering his trip’s keynote speech at Berlin’s Victory Column, McCain eating bratwurst and chatting with reporters at a German restaurant in Columbus, Ohio.

    McCain responds philosophically when asked about being overshadowed by his rival’s overseas trip and outsize attention: “It is what it is.”

    How about this?

    McCain’s speech in Denver came at the conclusion of a week in which he struggled against Obama’s overseas tour de force.

    “Tour de force?” This AP reporter sounds like a “lust sodden” gay lover of Obama. There is NO objectivity.

    God, I hope that McCain wins just to make these MSM “love fest” reporters suicidal. I do like how McCain is going on the attack, making the MSM “reporters” defensive and snippy.

    here’s what Obama said:

    I come to Berlin as so many of my countrymen have come before. Tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen – a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world.

    then

    Obama said he was forced to cancel a scheduled visit to wounded troops at Ramstein and Landstuhl AF bases because they believed such a stop would be “inappropriate” due to the political nature of the trip.

    a little contradiction huh?

    One military official who was working on the Obama visit said because political candidates are prohibited from using military installations as campaign backdrops, Obama’s representatives were told, “he could only bring two or three of his Senate staff member, no campaign officials or workers.” In addition, “Obama could not bring any media. Only military photographers would be permitted to record Obama’s visit.”

    The official said “We didn’t know why” the request to visit the wounded troops was withdrawn. “He (Obama) was more than welcome. We were all ready for him.”

    there you go

    Can’t disagree it is silly but it is amazing to see the absolutely stupid way this guy is fawned over.

    But don’t you see the irony in the fact that this blog, which lately seems singularly focused on Obama, spends as much time on, and regurgitating, these minor, tabloid-level stories as the (tabloid, frankly) media it purports to critique? I mean, I’m actually with BlameAmericaLast on this one:

    And…why do we care?

    Is repeating these stories somehow, through some inverse theory, valid political discourse? Doesn’t it lower the debate as much as the original article/source?

    How about the gaffes, the ignorance, the blatant mistakes

    The gaffes I’ve seen here as the cause of blistering attacks have included such major faux pas as calling Sunrise, FL, “Sunshine, FL,” eating arugula (real cause for hand wringing, that…), putting gherkins (with this priceless quote from our hostess: “[D]on’t ask me what those are, I have no idea”) in tuna salad, and an assortment of other things I wouldn’t identify as particularly indicative of “ignorance” (to use your wording). I don’t know that I find that particularly troubling in light of McCain’s inability to distinguish Sunni from Shia, Afghanistan from Iraq, or to identify what exactly borders the place in which we’re curently at war. It has to give you some pause — no matter your political leanings — because the self-proclaimed “foreign policy expert” should know these things. At least, I think he should. And I can only imagine had Obama uttered these quotes, they’d be featured here for days.

    Instead, we get stories about his sweat.

    As for Obama ditching the troops, Mookie, his trip was funded by his campaign. And per the Pentagon:

    The Pentagon in a statement cited longstanding Defense Department policy that prohibits military personnel or facilities from association with partisan political campaigns and elections.

    First of all nyk:

    One military official who was working on the Obama visit said because political candidates are prohibited from using military installations as campaign backdrops, Obama’s representatives were told, “he could only bring two or three of his Senate staff member, no campaign officials or workers.” In addition, “Obama could not bring any media. Only military photographers would be permitted to record Obama’s visit.”

    The official said “We didn’t know why” the request to visit the wounded troops was withdrawn. “He (Obama) was more than welcome. We were all ready for him.”

    and you only mentioned the silly gaffes.

    and lastly, get a sense of humor! This is more about the media then it is about Obama.

    You are correct on one thing. That is sooner of later we need to focus on the issues and not stupid things like Obama’s 143 days in the senate.

    So Obama did not go visit the wounded troops because he could not bring the fawning media along? He blew them off because there was no political advantage to it.

    First Lady-Elect Mrs. John McCain should have visited the soldiers, if permittable; but it was incumbent upon B. Hussein Obama to have seen them.

    I have a sense of humor. That’s why I think the coverage is silly. But so to do I think re-covering it is silly. I mean, this isn’t an exercise in Post-Modernism (in which case this would be more than appropriate), it’s a site supposedly dedicated to serious political debate. I don’t think that focusing on trifling matters — and once the posts are overwhelmingly focused on those things as a means of critiquing any given candidate, that becomes the site’s focus — passes as incisive political commentary any more than articles about a candidate’s sweat glands does. How do you successfully discredit the messenger when you use his/her message as your own source of news?

    10 year Presidency…

    “We are the people we have been waiting for” (HUH????)

    “I’m going to call in the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and give them a new mission, and that is to bring the war in Iraq to a close. We are going to get out.” (Uh, sorry dude, but the Joints Chiefs of Staff do not do not have operational command of US Military forces)

    “The poverty and violence in Somalia breeds the terror of tomorrow”. (Hmmm, the terrorists on 9/11 were Saudis)

    Obama made the same mistake in senate hearings but it was hard to notice since his little rant was incoherent.

    How about when Obama was going to have the Joint Chiefs give some orders to the military…did you find that particularly troubling in light of his inability to distinguish who is in the chain of command.

    I could go on if you want to play that way…or you could lighten up and just make fun of the Obamatics with us.
