A lot of disappointment across the board about Obamas speech at the Democrats Convention, even from the liberal left. But was he ever a great orator or was it all a myth generated by a compliant media that almost everyone else was afraid to confront?
(Excerpt) Read more at theagedp.com ...
“His main thought thrusts are Democrat platitudes consisting of three-to-five word phrases ennunciated in a quick cadence that ends with an abruptness intended to convey a finality as if hed just spoken a universal fact”
I’m looking forward to hearing the TOTUS’ last speech in office.
And soon the other shoe will drop....the myth that Michele Obama is a beautiful, classy, fashion plate in the mold of Jackie Kennedy. The Left’s self imposed delusions about these two affirmative action,hollow cretins is something I hope we are seeing the end of. Maybe the fever has broken!!
I have never had a chill, a shiver, he is flat, 100X. He would fall flat on his face without a teleprompter.
Muskrat, Muskrat, candle light
Doin' the town and doin' it right in the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'
Muskrat Suzie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug at a Muskrat Land
And they shimmy, Sam is so skinny
And they whirl and they twirl and they tango
Singin' and jinglin' a jangle
Float like the heavens above
Looks like Muskrat Love
Nibblin' on bacon
Chewin' on cheese
Sam says to Suzie
Honey, would you please be my Mrs
Suzie says, yes, with her kisses
Now, he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle
Now anything goes as they wriggle
Sue starts to giggle
And they whirled and they twirled and they tango
Singin' and jinglin' a jangle
Floatin' like the heavens above
Looks like muskrat love
Somehow, that song was a big hit - because of its pleasing tune. But it's just like Obama, the words don't make a whole lot of sense and the popularity came from tone, not content.
I don’t even think he is above average. Having done two sermons in my church and not believing myself that much of a speaker I am not impressed with the One.
As shown by Rush yesterday, Oba,a channeled Carter in his speech.
I find Obama to be a very motivational speaker. Every time he comes on he motivates me to find the remote and change channels.
who wrote extensively how is lisp was a sign of extreme intelligence.]
....LMAO!!!
We’ve been selling short in Telepromter stock.
“Like Hitler, he can effectively blame the countrys woes on someone, anyone but himself. There is always a bogeyman referenced in his speeches...Obama blames the rich, the Republicans and anyone who doesnt worship him as the messiah. “
Obama is a good ‘reader’ but not a good speaker.
He revealed that even last election cycle.
When he was on-teleprompter, he was good. When he went off-teleprompter, his speaking was full of lengthy pauses, many hmmmmms and uuuhhhhhs and uhmmmmmms.
Additionally, someone else wrote those grand speeches that all he had to do was read. Off script, Obama does not seem to have the capacity to comprehend even what he is trying to say.
LOL!!!
Symbolism over substance seem to hypnotize libs...not me.
I dont even think he is above average.

WAS OBAMA EVER REALLY A GREAT ORATOR
***************
NOPE!
**************
I rest my case....
No, he always reminded me of a carny barker.
My dogs think I’m a great speaker, but only when I use the words like, “treat”, “din-din”, and “go outside”.
Anyone giving out free treats is a “great speaker” to those to whom s/he is making the promise.
Just how good does one have to be to get accolades from those to whom they are giving other peoples money?
Meanwhile, he has a miserable record of giving to charities from his personal money.
But a speaker? I’ll put it this way, I managed three radio stations during my 15-year stint in broadcasting, and if I had received an audition tape from him, sight unseen, I would have tossed it into the trash. He has a sing-song delivery which would cause listeners to clamber for the “off” button on their radios.
Obama deals strictly in lies....immense huge lies....
I’m not a big Laura Ingraham fan, but she made a good point after listening to Obama reading from his own book for an audio edition.
That is, he’s good not only at reading aloud, but at doing voice overs—funny accents (that the rest of us can’t get away with doing any more) and all.
He’s too stiff to be an actor IMO and not quick enough on his feet or humorous enough to host a talk show, but I think he could do well with radio voice overs.
Really?
I find them annoying and obnoxious ... regardless of the words. He has a weird, robotic tone of voice and repetitive cadence that doesn't match the sentence structure ... and that's when he's reading the teleprompter.
When he's just speaking, he stutters, stammers, and gibbers.
