Film narrator: Obama’s missed calling
Canada Free Press ^ | 01/28/15 | A. Dru Kristenev

The American public should encourage Obama to take up a new occupation as a voiceover artist

What does it take to be a great narrator for documentaries? The ability to read a teleprompter with conviction. While the majority of Americans may not believe that President Obama has the last quality in hand, most will agree that the first is his best attribute. He is a teleprompter reader par excellence. Though it may be a useful skill, it doesn’t take the place of being a leader, even a poor one.

The latest attempt by the president to convince citizens that climate change is the bane of our existence produced the opposite result among most viewers. The irony of filming an oil industry-bashing commercial aboard Air Force One, which leaves a carbon footprint the size of King Kong (should you give credence to the carbon scare at all), is beyond hubris. It insults everyone’s intelligence. Not that the president much cares. As far as he’s concerned everyone around him is lacking intellect and unable to keep up with his superior mind.

Not for me. Barry’s snippy, sarcastic and know-it-all tone sound like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

Off topic, but...

I’m just now sitting here, still shaking my head, doing a facepalm and rolling my eyes all at the same time over a response I got in the comments of a local news site.

I pointed out the fact that Obama has control over the media by employing numerous people in his administration who are siblings or spouses to journalists and heads of News outlets.

A response I got claims that Obama only hired those people to find out where leaks are coming from.

With clueless morons out there like this, it’s no wonder we ended up with this @sshole in the WH twice.

I disagree, he always sounds like he’s reading a book to young children. Documentary people don’t sound like that.

Power like Obama has attracts opportunistic ideologues like this. They are CONSTANTLY on the stick to pander, promote, commiserate, excuse, flatter, attack (when called to by WH fax) brown nose and kiss as much administration ass as they can. It is how they make their living, how they get promoted, how they get government jobs, how they get buyoffs, and how they get published.

It is vanity, stupidity, greed, opportunism and naivety all rolled into one big stinking ball of horse manure.

I hear his voice and I run to the off button, unless of course a conservative is in the process of explaining what idiotic thing he has done lately.

I also get that impression when hearing him. It’s almost like we’re hearing a computer generated voice.

Do we really need two Morgan Freemans at the same time?

My understanding is he catches for black men and pitches for white boys.
