It was TIME Jan20, 2009.

"It took the doddering president 47 minutes and over 5,000 words to answer just six questions. And by “answer,” I simply mean he unspooled a torrent of disjointed words and broken sentences."

That's what too much chooming does to you. Oh I would like to hear the stories some of the SS team could tell if they knew they wouldn't lose their jobs. I imagine he has a guy on the team who gets the stuff for him for those hard days when his Muslim buddies are killing Christians and the American people get pissed off about it...

“Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan would cut off their own heads........”

Nice dream : )

[DJ Taylor]

I can’t improve on the logic displayed in this Czech newspaper editorial that reminds us that Obama is only a symptom of the disease infecting the American people.

Prince of Fools

The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president.

It’s funny how the Germans keep getting hit over the head with Hitler. At least the Germans tried to kill Hitler.

You think anybody in Obama’s administration would have the guts and moral fiber to try something like that?

That Hitler survived that attempt seemed supernatural to me - like Hitler had been spared because his job wasn’t done yet.

I think it would have been a VERY compelling Mythbusters episode to recreate the conditions of the Hitler assassination attempt to see whether Hitler had survived it due to some design flaw in the plan or the bomb, or whether Hitler was just Las Vegas Progressive Jackpot lucky.

“Has our president officially lost his ability to discharge the powers and duties of his office?”

Hell yes he has! Why is this even a question anymore? Start the impeachment proceeding, if nothing else it will cause him to spend time defending himself, and this allows for him to have less time in his quest to destroy America.

[Black Agnes]

“This is not the same soaring speaker who inspired so many in 2008.”

Sure it is. Anything he said in ‘08 was just Taqiyya.

[annieokie]

Do the people have some rights to get this done, other than contacting our REPS?

[annieokie]

You tell it like it is, Teleprompter was all he had.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

It’s still too early. He is just as incompetent now as he was when he was twice elected. There is a financial collapse coming, or a least a recession more serious than 2008-2009. If he is impeached now, he will say that is the reason.

I think by spring, 2016, we will be in a depression so bad that even the government cannot hide it any longer. Then he should be impeached at the demand of millions of angry voters, and no one will bat an eye.

[TruthWillWin]

Rare, he gave that speach without a teleprompter? Why?

[MrBambaLaMamba]

“Soaring speaker” my ass. He was a mouth-breathing brainless teleprompter reader with an obnoxious speaking style back then.

Here here. His gaseously vacuous and facile demagoguery was full of vague tautological pledges to increase socialism and statism, while obsfucating the true nature of his incipient tyranny. It was the ultimate in political rhetorical Jedi mind tricksterism fostered by a protective main stream media who were determined to promote him as beneficial, despite all evidence to the contrary.

[N. Theknow]

Rare, he gave that speach without a teleprompter? Why?

If you followed his eyes, he was reading the whole thing off a teleprompter attached to the camera. The same as news readers on the newscasts read their stories.

Only Obama is not as good at using that type of prompter and his eyes never look directly at the camera lens.

[Pollster1]

The occupant of our White House has not lost that ability because he never had the ability to properly discharge the powers and duties of the office he has usurped. There is no point in trying to impeach the evil traitor or otherwise replace that drug-addled bigot, because the democrats care more about political points than about saving America. They would not support any effort to remove the Affirmative Action Community-Organizer-in-Chief from office.

[TruthWillWin]

I can not every listen to a speach given by Obama. Do not enjoy being lied to.

[HarleyLady27]

I thought about that and impeachment, but then got to thinking about some other things....

Trump, since the Paris attacks has really been leading not only the elections, but also the way America should react...he let obuma have a few days after the San Bernadino killings, and then by shoving and pushing obuma out to garble some words, which didn't make any sense at all, took over, he is now the Leader of the Free World...he is protecting this Country by letting people know what the Muslims are, and wants to put a halt on this until we can find out some more about things...

And he warned us to watch out for another 9/11....it's up to us to listen...are we????

[Scirparius]

Obama and his administration are clearly tied to the Muslim Brotherhood and other extreme Islamic groups. He and his administration continue to not only fail to protect American citizens, but to increase the likelihood that American citizens will be exposed to Islamic terrorism. He and his administration have been caught in multiple outright lies. He has repeatedly broken the oath he took when he was inaugurated as Commander-In-Chief. In fact, many of the allegations against him rise to the level of treason.

Impeach him and imprison him.

[EternalHope13]

Let me be the first to say that I would love nothing more than either a civilian impeachment of Obama or an outright military coup.

But the ugly fact is that the House and Senate will dance on broken glass before they make any serious effort toward impeachment. And the time for the military to do something was years ago (frankly when he was ‘elected) not when he’s a lame-duck on his last year. About all we can do now is prevent his efforts toward either a 3rd term or a permanent stay.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.[3]

You have the 2/3rds vote of both houses of Congress to sustain such an act?
