You're exactly right, at least the last part of it that listened to.
I nearly chocked on my cereal when he came out with the Ferguson crud.
Generally....with maybe three or four exceptions in the first year of the Presidency...all of his speeches have been limited one-star or marginal two-star speeches. I don’t know who was writing his stuff for the primary period of 2007/2008, but they must have fired the guy after they got to the White House.
And this six-different voice patterns that he uses....mostly amuse me. You don’t which guy is showing up and delivering it, until he delivers the first line.
