I only watched Oprahs’ speech, because I’ve listened to Barak ramble on and on and not saying anything much, too many times already. But I wanted to hear Oprahs’ personal “truth”.
I must say I was disappointedly underwhelmed. It was a pretty lame performance she put on IMO. It was mostly DemoLeftie boilerplate. It may have had some of her words in it, but that “personal” endorsement was written mostly by a stump speech writer. It was blatantly filled with stump speech writers tricks, and hackneyed posturing on Democrat stands, that she has *never* before voiced an opinion on.
The recurring repetition of “We need Obama” was *so* traveling salvation show.
I was expecting much better..something much more genuine even though I fully expected to disagree with things in it.
If this is what she’s gonna do for him..I expect no more than a temporary bump for Obamas numbers. Whether or not I’ve agreed with what Oprah has had to day, I’ve always considered her to be genuine. That was not what she was today.
I think Obama is a nice affable guy...but his leftist ideas and his naive inexperience, not of the “halls of Power” but real world life and death executive experience are patently obvious. The Sorcerers Apprentice was a nice lil guy, and he aspired to do great and good things..but he did not have the knowledge he needed to deal with things when everything goes sideways.
Always keep in mind that rhetoric comes before "but" and the true conveyance is after the word "but". ; )
Your assessment is absolutely correct. It’s obvious Oprah was out of her element and her speech/talking points were not from her gut. It was repetitive and certainly poorly thought out (or not thought at all).
Obama continues to ramble on with his same rhetorical nonsense and added nothing new (let alone a new speaking delivery, etc.). Of course, when was the last time the Democrats or the DNC playbook added anything new...1932 with the New Deal?
