After speech, Obama feels good

President Obama left Tucson, Ariz., late Wednesday feeling good about the speech he gave memorializing the victims of Saturday’s deadly shooting there, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said.

“This was something he’d focused on and thought about, as I think all of us have, in different aspects of our lives and how much he wanted to largely discuss I think the characteristic of empathy and thinking about how we can – how our lives can be better and the examples of what some of those that lost their lives in this accident can teach us,” Gibbs told reporters on Air Force One on Wednesday.

Sarah’s speech was so much better. I bet that eats at him.

Mr. Gibbs = gibberish.

How has this man been earning a living all these years?

He sounds as though he was barely educable.

Was Ft. Hood an accident, as well? If so, why didn’t he go there?

I watched his speech last night. I don’t remember hearing him say it was an accident. Did he really say that?

“something he’d focused on and thought about”

In contrast to the vast majority of events that he’s either oblivious to, or too busy vacationing or partying to give much thought to.

There's only one way I can think of to describe this comment, tortured.

Or tortured sophistry, maybe.

They are really straining to twist this unfortunate event into something of political utility. It disgusts me beyond words.

President Obama left Tucson, Ariz., late Wednesday feeling good about the speech he gave . . .

So in other words, it was all about him.

“something he’d focused on and thought about” --> "something he read mindlessly off a teleprompter"

Yes, because this would be all about him and how he feels.

Dang it, I looked that article over looking, just skimmed, was looking for the word accident and of course after I posted I went back and saw it right away.

I don't think any sane person would call mass murder an accident. What an idiot.

Barry the bastard lies through his gleeming teweth, the media ignore the lies and publish the talking points sent to them by their demigod, Axelgreasy, and of course, that makes Barry the bastard feel good about his current crop of lies and the obedient sycophancy he so desperately needs.

The democrats love liars, because democrats are at their heart dishonest sheep.

Pelosi called it a “tragic accident” yesterday on the House floor.

Any single one of the words I screamed at that point would get me banned from the internet for life.

I am a happy Wee Wee all right ... but I still think my heartfelt presentation
was a little lacking without the balloon drop and the confetti.

What a jerk.

An ivory tower, elitist, nose-in-the-air, never-worked-a-day-in-his-life JERK.

Lincoln: I feel really good about the Gettyburg Address. I think I did a good job toward memorializing the dead and healing the wounds of the grieving.

Reagan: I feel really good about the speech I gave after the Challenger accident.

GW Bush: I feel really good about my speech at Ground Zero.

First, can you imagine those words coming out of any of those men’s mouths? Second, can you imagine what the press would have done to Reagan or Bush if they had?

Of course he felt good. The "accident" allowed him to allude to increasing gun control prohibition, in his first opening sentences.

The rest of the feel-good boiler-plate that followed was all about uniting 'everyone' to that cause.

If that's not the case, why put that idea forward, albeit in the veiled fashion he did, in the opening paragraph?
