Candidate Barack Obama wanted to be a transformative president. Well, he's doing his best to transform some elements of the US government into broken down caricatures of what our founders intended them to be. The latest transformation to make the news is one observed by US Chief Justice John Roberts who said that the president's annual State of the Union address has "degenerated into a political pep rally."

Chief Roberts was right. Obama took advantage of a group of distinguished men and women of the highest court in the land and he basically trashed them while the hooligans behind them stood up and cheered and hollered like a bunch of thugs. There is no dignity anymore in the presidency.
Sadly that's how he is transforming the office.
Obama is little more than a self-obessesed and petulant teenager; that is the furthest level to which he matured.
And, unlike George W. Bush, 0bama gets a pass on his cringeworthy mangling of the English language, to wit:
E-lec-tric-al (a la Donovan in ``Mellow Yellow'')
Mass-a-TWO-chetts.
He lacks rhetorical skills (even with a Teleprompter) and, more importantly, as Justice Roberts pointed out, lacks the dignity that befits the office.
Spot on. He mumbles, stumbles, and bungles. He sounds like a flustered two-bit wannabe preacher when he delivers a speech.
He speaks like a true Corpseman.

He’s nothing but a street pimp. The hoes love him.
“He’s nothing but a street pimp. The hoes love him.”
A long-legged mac daddy.
I totally agree. Isn't it amazing how the media always paints Democrat presidents as brilliant, great orators, charismatic, champions of the little guy, etc., etc., ad nauseum. And they paint Republicans as stupid, knuckle-dragging dolts who can't utter a single coherent sentence, and who want to throw grandma out into the street.
As Justice Roberts said, the Court is not above criticism, but there is a time and place for it, and the State of the Union is not it.
agreed.
true. He’s a whiner, blamer and personally I’m sick of seeing his face on TV. Everytime you turn around he’s wallking to a podium somewhere for something. I think he likes the attention. We turn him off everytime we see him on TV. He’s like the old reruns on TV only they are enjoyable.
