Matthews: Berlin Sun ‘Ruined’ Obama’s Speech
national review ^ | 6/19 | johnson

Posted on 06/19/2013 8:16:29 AM PDT by RummyChick

MSNBC host and Obama sycophant Chris Matthews blamed the sun for spoiling the president’s speech in Berlin today.

“I think a lot of the problem he had today was the late afternoon sun in Berlin ruined his use of the teleprompter and so his usual dramatic windup was ruined,” Matthews said immediately after the speech. “I think he was really struggling with the text there.”

Speaking behind a glass bulletproof shield, Obama appeared to be using the text of the speech rather than reading off of teleprompters.

Very few will get your joke. Perfect timing for a little FR history lesson. I'll leave that up to you if you are so inclined.

“I think a lot of the problem he had today was the late afternoon sun in Berlin ruined his use of the teleprompter and so his usual dramatic windup was ruined,” Matthews said immediately after the speech. “I think he was really struggling with the text there.”

Even if the glare from the sun prevented him from using his teleprompter, that's no excuse for his performance. When you're the President of the United States, you should be articulate enough, and have a strong enough grasp of your topic, to be able to speak intelligently without the use of a teleprompter. The fact that he is completely lost when his teleprompter quits demonstrates what an amateur he really is.

Should have thrown out the teleprompter and gone full Milli-Vanilli with a lip synced the speech.

The late afternoon sun in Berlin is much brighter than it used to be because of global warming. Which was caused by George Bush.
