Greatest......speech......ever. Now Obama owns the top 5 speeches of all time. Just ask Chrissie.
Obama is no David Hasselhoff.....
Greatest...line...ever..concerning a Obamao appearance:
“..By the way, you can hear now the sounds of people dismantling everything that was put up for this event...”
Christiana, you have no idea how descriptive that statement is...LOL!
There was a fabulous commentary given in the section comments of the news story by a Guy Arthur Thomas. Check it out: he nails it.
“Allow me to further my comments from the Matthews story:
The truth is, the speech was a DISAPPOINTMENT. It was bland,
uninspiring and WHOLLY predictable. Frankly, I think The Obamanation is going to take a hit from this.
The fact that the best MSNBC’s Chris Matthew’s could muster was that “it had its thrill factor” is the kind of faint praise that admits failure.
And this is one of the very crippling flaws of The Obamanation, his imagination. While it might fuel his rhetoric, he wrongly imagines rhetoric is sufficient and that specifically dealing with matters of both domestic and international concern can wait until he is able to be in the midst of them, so that he may see which way the wind is blowing and attempt to set sail. He is prone to the populace and not truly given to ideas and convictions. And this shows in spectacular moments as in this speech when he fails to deliver beyond his misplaced confidence in his declamations.
The Obamanation is quite unlike those he wishes to imitate; leaders who had convictions which edified their speeches and the hearers to whom they spoke. With truly great leaders there are specifics and certainties, characteristics sorely missing with Obama’s attempted
oration.
The Obamanation spoke with generalizations that any cheap
politician, left or right, could have made. When Reagan spoke and for that matter, Kennedy, at least you knew who the man was, what he believed and where he wanted to lead a nation and the world. Any child knows that talking about holding hands and that getting along is expected, Obama never went beyond such juvenile charges.
The Obamanation’s stage play expected to billow strong visions of a man in charge and ideas that merited acquiescence by its hearers. Instead, it was a flatlined speech, the course of which could have been prophesied with a yardstick. Obama was naked, and gave no sense of
political armament. His only saving grace were the eager disciples in attendance who are lead about by their naivety, those interested in the novelty and those nice enough not to walk away when they realized this was just a shadow of a true leader.
