John McCain wasn't too far off the mark when he labeled Barack Obama 'The One' on the campaign trail, turning his popularity into somewhat of a negative. All one has to do is look at the creepy videos of his supporters, who engage in bizarre ritualistic chanting to show support far more often than mere mortal human beings would be comfortable with. Glenn looks at a few of these bizarre supporter clips, including the ultra creepy Ashton Kutcher 'I pledge' video featuring dozens of celebrities. Funny, don't remember the celebs pledging to help W. Check out Glenn's latest Beck Talks video blog on 'The One's’ crazy followers. WATCH

Glenn answers that and a whole lot more in today's episode of Arguing with Idiots. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

How could a company that makes billions and billions of dollars a year possibly justify all those obscene profits while regular ordinary Americans struggle to afford gas?

Obama at the UN
Obama gave yet another 'historic' speech at the UN, where he ushered in a new era of foreign policy. ‘The One’ basically told the audience to stop waiting on America for every little thing and start acting. Oh, that will fly in Europe -- it's tough enough to get them to work more than 12 hours a week, let alone do something of value to the globe. But, Obama was clearly upstaged by Libyan President Omar Qaddafi, who appeared to have scribbled a few hand written notes on binder paper --- and talked for about 2 straight hours. Ahh, the UN -- what a great use of half a billion in US taxpayer money, huh? STORY
