What This MSNBC Commentator Just Said About Kamala Harris Is Insane ['Harris has Obama-like oratory skills']
Townhall ^ | 8/12/2024 | Matt Vespa

Posted on 08/15/2024 10:15:15 AM PDT by simpson96

I never thought I’d be writing this much defending Barack Obama: some things are true about the man despite his abysmal stances on public policy. Obama was a great orator; his communications skills were an asset in winning two national elections. You can still believe this while thinking his domestic agenda, especially on health care, wrecked the country. I say this because now we have some clowns saying that Kamala Harris’ skills in this same area are like that of the former president. I’m no kidding. Molly Jong-Fast decided to test this talking point on MSNBC over the weekend, the only network that would nod at this nonsensical point (via RealClearPolitics):

MOLLY JONG FAST: "I think it is a really good campaign. People really like her. She has gotten to be a really gifted, Obama-level orator. You know, she was very much underestimated by the mainstream media.

Quite frankly, she has command. You hear her up there and she is confident. She is calm. She is commanding.

For whatever reason, America is ready for her, which is very exciting.

I would also say, Trump has been using these same attacks against three different residential candidates. Against Harris, against Biden, and against Hillary. They just don't-- you can do it once or twice, but the third time, it really feels recycled."

How much are they paying Ms. Fast to spew these falsehoods?

(snip)

Someone who says, “It’s time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day,” does not possess Obama-like oratory skills.

For all his faults, Obama did have a pleasant speaking voice.

Harris, on the other hand sounds like a velociraptor being eaten by a T-Rex.

It is SORT OF true.

Without a teleprompter both of them are stuttering stammering idiots because they have to lie about their core beliefs. If you have core beliefs you are proud of, you can talk to anyone any time about anything without notes or a teleprompter. But those two marxist jerks know their beliefs and policies are poison.

Obama never said a word that wasn’t written out for him on a teleprompter.

"[Kamalamadingdong] has gotten to be a really gifted, Obama-level orator."

Only in the sense that both of these traitors will lie their ass off to get you to support them.

Like Harris, Obama could not speak unless there was a teleprompter.

Remember when Obama had to have teleprompters set up to visit with kids at a grade schoo?

I never understood the claim that Obama was a great orator. He spoke in a clipped voice and mechanically moved his head back-and-forth as he spoke. His words were not inspiring. Jesse Jackson was better. MLK Jr. was way better. Even Louis Farrakhan is better.

In all fairness, Obama was a train wreck without a tele-prompter.

Oratory or oral?

As far as Barry’s oral skills are concerned, one would need to ask either Larry Sinclair or Reggie Love.

Thinking they meant “oral” skills.

Actually, her oratory reminds me of “Easy Reader” from “The Electric Company”.
