Krauthammer has come a long way since his days as a Reagan-bashing Democrat speechwriter.

Thank heaven Krauthammer is calling it like it is. It made me sick when Charles Krauthammer said that Obama’s oratory was “elegant”....yuck!

Actually, I like that Krauthammer speaks what he feels and the absolute majority of the time he’s right. Sometimes it feels like a bitter pill but I do think he’s one of the most honest and spot on commentators we have.

But ! - that’s just me.

I don't find anything "elegant" or "eloquent" about Obama's oratory.

Isn’t “elegant snakeoil” some sort of oxymoron?

At times he just can't stop himself. His sneers at Palin for calling the rationing ObamaCare would bring "Death Panels", his, in the past, praising Obama's gifts of oratory (I believe Obama has none) was disheartening.

With these comments, he is headed toward redemption.

...one of the most honest...

I agree. BTW...while I was over there I read that John Stossel is moving to Fox.

I know brugmansian — we’re all fallible and we all have off days.

Hey, the guy can’t move. That alone would make me talk out the other side of my mouth !

At the moment, I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt because, most often, he’s spot on.

waitaminute: “praising” Obama’s gifts of oratory”? maybe he’s deaf ?

It’s about time John Stossel stopped hanging with freaks. He has great commitment guilt.

I like him and looking forward to him spreading his wings !

It can’t be an “amazing performance” if you can see the lies.

I continue to be amazed that they call Obama a brilliant speaker. He just doesn’t come across that way to me. He moves his head back an forth mechanically and uses the same cadence over and over again.

I have also been searching for these masterful oratorical skills The One possesses. I have yet to witness the “gift” others, not excepting the right, spout high praise over.

“I continue to be amazed that they call Obama a brilliant speaker...”

He gets a lot of mileage out of his pleasant baritone speaking voice, but if that is the criterion for a good president, then either James Earl Jones or Morgan Freeman should have been the first black president, because their voices are even better than Barack Obama’s.

I agree but what drives me Nuts is when people wont call a guy a Liar when he is . What they do is what Charles Did ,they praise how SMOOTH he was and they say it with such Envy and awe and it becomes a Compliment instead of condeming that type of action,lying to the people on an issue of such importance

“Elegant” and “eloquent” are code words for “knows how dish the bull sh$$.

I think the term “silver-tongue devil” would fit appropriately in regard to the content and way Obama gives a speech; for those that are uninformed, he can make any lie the truth.
