Barack Obama Has Run-In with RUDE & Persistant PHOTO SEEKER: Debunking Desperate Spin
This is the actual headline under the video that has been posted here repeatedly today by the same poster.

Nowhere, anywhere, does it imply, state or otherwise convey that Senator Obama was rude.

It does explicity imply, state and convey that the Senator was hounded by a "rude and persistant photo-seeker".

Not really worthy of a post, but posting anything of significance here isn't worth anything anymore, is it?

Go sell crazy somewhere else, we're all filled up here.

4. What else is new? Of course the fake headline is most important
for the desperate.

So little to use, so little time. :shrug:

2. This guy is a known commodity who gets autographs, then sells them on eBay.
I suspect most notable people would refuse his request if they knew who he was.

You can't really blame him.. Obama Autographs are the hottest commodity on
EBay right now. Look at the going price of a signed first edition. Sheesh..too bad he was so obnoxious about it.

11. Maybe, but it strikes me as a classless thing to do.
If I were in the position of a famous person, I wouldn't be pleased over the idea of somebody trying to get autographs to sell, and that being their entire reason, rather than somebody who wanted to be there and just wanted a memento.

Then again, maybe that's just me.

19. Oh, I agree totally. Its a completely different thing than someone sincerely
wanting his autograph or a picture, as in something to give your grandkids ! The stalker guy was an ass.

Its not just you ! :hi:

7. He's lucky Obama was as polite as he was
I'd have tossed the little jerk in the drink. He's one of the Ebay sig pimps.

13. you may have time to edit the title to INSANE AND HOSTILE
because "rude" is being too kind for what this asshat maniac acted like.

15. I agree, still, was just trying to get the REAL headline out there, minus spin. I wonder if his
prize picture is up on EBay yet. He may end up getting more for it because the episode was videotaped.

18. Obama needs to invite the idiot onstage, embarrass the hell out of him
and identify him as his own "personal stalker"..and formally present him with a lifesize cut-out, so he can take a picture with Obama anytime he wants..:evilgrin:

and then have the SS people keep him away..
