Peta Theater is wonderful. I love how actors can phrase words that we use every day but make the sound wonderful.
If the way words were said made the person saying them the person they were protraying, then Sean Connery would infact be a spy.
Unfortuantely, just because you can say things cleverly, doesn't mean you have what it takes..
B.H. Obama is clever... Very clever, but no matter what he says or how he says it, he is just an actor. No experience. No backbone. No one to be a President, let alone a spy.

McCain, though, has suggested Obama’s commitment to Israel is not as deep as it should be.
A McCain TV ad out Tuesday ridicules Obama for saying Iran, whose president is openly hostile toward Israel, is a “tiny” country that “doesn’t pose a serious threat.”
The narrator says: “Terrorism, destroying Israel, those aren’t serious threats? Obama — dangerously unprepared to be president.”

According to Joey Joe Joe Junior Plumbadoo, Barack Obama wants to kill Israel.
At a stop in Columbus, he fielded the question on Israel from a self-identified Jewish senior citizen.
The questioner said he was “concerned” with Barack Obama’s associations and “It’s my belief that a vote for Obama is a vote for the death to Israel.”
Wurzelbacher responded: “I do know that.”
Another audience member then stood up and asked, “Useless last-gasp ...

But nearly 3 hours of listening to conservative talk radio shows today (including one by a host who says he is an independent) revealed a strong growing counter belief — that a variety of polls now show the race is seriously tightening and that McCain’s insinuation that Obama is a Socialist in all but name is catching on. (This claim was choed by Joe The Plumber, who now has formally endorsed McCain and who also has now proclaimed Obama a danger to Israel…)

On the very first official day of work for the McCain campaign, Joe played the Israel card. Man, this guy learns fast.
It’s come to this. John McCain and Sarah Palin are so desperate to win votes
that their team is endorsing the views of some guy who said his name was Joe
when it wasn’t. At the same time he also said that he was a plumber, which he
isn’t, at least not technically, because he has no plumber’s license. So, if ’Joe

... of Rick Sanchez on CNN. Sanchez introduced a quote by CNN commentator David Gergen (a man as squishy as the first diaper change of the day) ridiculing Joe the Plumber for making some remarks about US policy toward Israel. Rather than let the audience hear what Mr. Wurzelbacher had to say -- you know, "we report, you decide" -- Sanchez let the audience hear Squishy Dave express astonishment at the very idea that someone like Wurzelbacher would express an opinion on such an issue. For the record, here's what happened : Wurzelbacher was hitting the campaign trail on behalf of ...

In regards to the latter, I am mostly bemused: if the man wants to milk his fifteen minutes of fame for all it is worth, including a country music album, more power to him. All I can say is: only in America.
The former, however, is plain bizarre, as Joe made his claims whilst on the trail with the McCain campaign. ...
McCain surrogate Joe the Plumber questions Obama’s loyalty to the U.S.
Think Progress —
Recently, Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher has been hitting the campaign trail for and with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). Last week, he was sharply rebuked by Fox News’s Shep Smith for agreeing that a vote for Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) is a vote for the “death to Israel.” Today, Fox’s Neil Cavuto was taken aback when Joe questioned Obama’s loyalty to the United States:
JOE: McCain has fought and bled for our country, and loves our country. There’s too many questions with Barack Obama and ...
