another bad sign for The BarackStar!  when the public gets tired of hearing about you, it means that you
definitely aren't the second coming of Christ.  it means you really are the second coming of paris hilton.

Obama Fatigue - 48% Hearing Too Much About Him

As he has since January, this week, Barack Obama enjoyed much more visibility as far as the public was concerned than did John McCain. By a margin of 76% to 11% respondents in Pew's weekly News Interest Index survey named Obama over McCain as the candidate they have heard the most about in recent days. But the same poll also shows that the Democratic candidate's media dominance may not be working in his favor. Close to half (48%) of Pew's interviewees went on to say that they have been hearing too much about Obama lately. And by a slight, but statistically significant margin - 22% to 16% - people say that recently they have a less rather than more favorable view of the putative Democratic nominee.

In contrast, if anything, Pew's respondents said they want to hear more, not less about the Republican candidate. Just 26% in the poll said they had heard too much about McCain, while a larger number (38%) reported that they had heard too little about the putative Republican candidate. However, as for Obama, a slight plurality reports that recently they have come to have a less favorable view of McCain rather than a more favorable view of him - (23% to 18%).

Not surprisingly, a very large number of Republicans say they have heard too much about Obama lately. But 51% of independents shared this opinion, and as many as a third of Democrats thought so too.

It is a VRW plot colluding with the corporate media to overexpose The One and create psychological exhaustion.  By Election Day the public will be puking at the thought of Him.

Same thing happened with Regis and now he's back down to drinking coffee with Kathy Lee.

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

it's ironic, though.  people are tired of seeing him an hearing him, but there is no way they know enough about him to vote for him for president.  especially when he keeps reversing himself on virtually everything that he ran on in the primaries.

it turns out that he is going to hawaii for vacation for a week starting tomorrow.  I am sure the MSM will breathlessly cover that, as well, and we will be favored with another on of these:

Maybe he can look for a legit copy of his birth certificate while he's there.
