Question

What do you think about the "celebrity" status of Obama?

Answer 1

I see it as another insult to Barack Obama, seeing that he is a wonderful candidate for the presidency, people simply mistaken his talents of being a politician and seeing him more as a "celebrity" such comments like these are are not tolerated and Im sure the Obama campaign will fire back with McCain's "I don't know how many Houses I own." talk. Does a man who doesn't know how many homes he has really want to start talking how his opponent is more of a "celebrity" personally I think its here today and will be gone tomorrow.

Answer 2

Personally, I think he has lost some of his luster.

Answer 3

I don't see anything wrong with it.

Answer 4

Reminds me of the story, "The King Who Had No Clothes"  ("Emperors New Clothes").  Or maybe,  "The Pied Piper of Hamlin" (Hollyweird).

Answer 5

He is running for President not an oscar.  This is all an act he has no political stubstance I am sorry.

Answer 6

Websters DEFINITION OF CELEBRITY:  a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention. The word stems from the Latin verb "celebrere" but they may not become a celebrity unless public and mass media interest is piqued

why is McCain claiming that he is not a celebrity? is he not widely recognized? does he not pique the interest of the mass media and the public?  

is he THAT boring and insubstanantive that, even though he is running for the office of President of the United States, that he does not pique interest the population of the United States of America?
