No one ever claimed the Pres. was a great speaker, that is one of the main attractions of Obama.

If this couple is what passes for acceptable intelligence for entrance to Harvard and Yale, it’s quite revealing and much worse than expected.

The man is woefully ignorant, and that is an understatement.

"I heard the soundbite, and yes he really did sound over-tired and just suffered a mental block. Been there done that myself, no fun, it happens, sucks hugely when facing an audience."

Over tired and drug crash sound about the same. When George Bush, or Ronald Reagan misspoke, after being up for 48 hours or more dealing with a serious problem, the Drive-bys were all over them. Roast him!

Hate to say it to you. Would you want Barry answering that 3:00 AM phone call?

These soundbytes are important. Barry wants to be POTUS. He best wake up. A good POTUS does not use being tired as an excuse.

I heard this on Rush today. B O is an IDIOT. If that had been any (R) politician, he/she would have been laughed out of the race a long time ago. I abhor the DBM.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I could swear that at one point in his babble, Obama utters the word “otay” (the Buckwheatism).

I thought he was supposed to be eloquent. He was stumbling over his words as badly as President Bush.

Breathalyzer... that's too rich.

A not-so-interesting sidenote: did anybody else notice that he refers to an inhaler as an inhalator? The ones used for asthma sufferers have always been known as inhalers. Inhalator is a specific brand name for the Nicorette nicotine inhaler... I wonder if he's using the Nicorette Inhalator to quit (during the race).

I agree, but poor Dan Quayle's treatment over the spelling of potato amounted to being dragged behind a truck by the mASS media.

And the really sinister thing is the whole 'potato' thing was a political trick. The flash card already had potato spelled as 'potatoe'. One does not even have to setup Obama. He does it himself.

I just checked it out. Wow. I'm actually stunned by how inane that was. At least with Bush I can usually figure out what he's saying.

I especially enjoyed when he blamed crowd noise for throwing him off his train of thought... a fine tool for public speaking, except for the fact that the crowd was pretty quiet and docile.

His inability to function off-script will/has become apparent. That is best addressed by a montage of slip-ups, not obsessing over just one. The media obsession over “potatoe” was inane, as is obsessing over “breathalyzer”; being able to demonstrate his ongoing inability to think without teleprompting will be far more effective ... especially if that inability is chemically facilitated.

His intentions when functioning on-script are more important. When he can cooly and deliberately inform an audience that he really does intend to confiscate private wealth, negotiate with enemies, and promote racism, the consequences will be far more serious than mis-remembering the name of a medical device.

I may question anybody’s ability to function at 3:00AM (including my own). I want to know that the man in charge has assembled a patriotic team which can deal with a situation at 3:00AM so he doesn’t have to.

Insightful!

It is funny that he gets credit for being such a great speaker but whenever he isn’t reading off the teleprompter he says remarkably funny or stupid things.

Maybe he is just a very good reader.

I think that that he actually made a quick correction and recovered immediately by mocking his misstatement. Sure, the media would have had a field day with this if he were a Republican, but I think that the way he recovered is one reason why his followers like him. He came off sounding like an normal guy.

There are plenty of other reasons to go after him, but I don't think that we'd score any points jumping on this one.
