Calling talented FReepers: Obama delivers Lucky's speech

Recently I saw a live performance of Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot", a story about two hobos who are, oddly enough loitering around waiting for a visit from a person named Godot.

They are interrupted by Pozzo, a cruel and pompous man, and Lucky, his hapless slave led by a noose around his neck. Lucky performs demeaning tasks on command. At the urging of the hobos, Pozzo commands him to dance, and then to "think".

What follows is a run-on rambling speech/rant lasting about four minutes of half-developed themes, nonsequeteurs, stuttering, random interjections, and entertaining nonsense. Here is the link to a stage production of it: http://youtu.be/fFZatmOFpns

I was so struck by this speech that I listened to it several times before I realized: this is just like any Obama speech, particularly his answers at a press conference when a reporter sneaks in a question not vetted by Obama's handlers.

The speech has been given to good effect as a free-standing performance. Here is one example: http://youtu.be/mLzZbN9gvBI

I would love to see someone who can mimic Obama deliver this speech. I can hear Obama now discuss the Ac-ac-ac-ac-ademy of antropopopopology in the stuttering stupid voice we all have grown to detest.

One would have to be discerning with the visuals. Representing Obama as a slave with a noose around his neck would not be received as anything but racist, and rightly so.

Any talented takers out there? This is an opportunity to go viral. I can find no such performance on the Internet.

Any takers out there? Just avoid the original optics.

Lucky doesn’t sound so much like Obama as he does Gene Scott

Thanks JusPasenThru. Instead of Godot, we wound up with no godot ‘nough.

I want to see an Obama speech dubbed over to have him saying over and over again “I’m just here so I don’t get fined”.
