Those on the right who belittled Obama’s appearance in the image above as not being the stuff of reality but of Hollywood (Bond, Mission Impossible, and so on), these people have in fact lost all contact with American reality. What is forgotten in their thinking (and what needs reminding) is that an association with Hollywood’s spectacle of heroism is hardly a liability for a politician, particularly with a voting public that has difficulty separating what is reel and what is real.

Someone has taken Charles and replaced him with a cogent argument!
Remember when Reagan in an interview made it clear that he actually believed he'd served in WWII, when it was actually just a movie he'd made? Good times.
Keep up the coherent posts Charles. Honestly.
Not only is this type of imagery important for the voting public, when the image DOESN'T work, it is a permanent disaster for a politician's image (see here and here).
4 - HA!
Who's the guy behind Bush? He looks like a Pixar character!
I want to see actor Harry Lennix play a President Obama in an action film called ESCAPE FROM BAGHDAD.

In that case can we get Martin Sheen to run? And he has to divorce his wife and marry Stockard Channing.
McCain is like that shopowner in No Country for Old Men. And Obama's asking him the question ...
We won't support ball-less NO-Bama and will re-defeat him in November!!!
I just think it's funny that that's all they have to fire at him.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Let the media keeps salivating over Odrama and keeps exposing him. Overexposure by the media is a good thing right? Come November a significant portion of people would be so turned off by the media they'll actually vote against Odrama. I know i'm sick of this worshiping of some slick politicians with little experiences. Oh wait he sure has experience w/ breaking his promise with FISA vote.
Reagan was never as hot as Obama, even when he was younger.
To quote Ronnie in KING'S ROW, "Where's the rest of me!?"
Say, Ronnie, how's that SuperDuper Missile Shield you promised us comin along? The one we've spent billions and billions on?
you've been drinking the smart wine today i see charles. action stars becoming politicians off of their tough guy credit is pretty common. take arnold swartzenegger(sp?) and jessie ventura for example. of course, pointing out hypocrisy and contradictions in right wing thinking is like pointing out clouds in the sky, but still...
1 and 3, his post about zimbabwean refugees getting persecuted in so. africa was cogent and coherent. it can happen. it's just rare.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
W wn't spprt bll-lss N-Bm nd wll r-dft hm n Nvmbr!!!
Charles! I agree with you!
But first, I understood what you were trying to say! Plain English!
Just one of the reasons I keep peeking at Slog. Waiting for moments like this. Or, for your other moments, where I just scratch my head.
