How Obama's insecurity and reliance on an angry wife, Michelle, lost him his election, in spite of being the most accomplished speaker in the race.

I hate what Obama stands for, at least politically. Becasue of his far-left, socialist stance, I hope he loses BIG.

* How Obama is "long on brains and short on guts".

They've got that one totally backwards.

How Obama’s hatred for America is too thinly disguised.

Quick thoughts:
1. The election is not over.. A lot could happen between here and now..
2. I think the rising stars, like Bayh, said thanks, but no thanks.
3. The fact that Michelle hates Hillary, and why he didn't pick her could be one of the reasons..

* How Michelle Obama was behind the "real" reason" Obama didn't choose Hillary Clinton as his running mate.

That is possible, but I think Barrack arrogance also played against putting Hillary on the ticket.

“How Obama is “long on brains and short on guts”.

He’s obviously short on both. Someone with a brain would never have picked Biden or set himself up to ridicule.

Minor complaint.

Barack Obama is universally hailed as as great speaker. He is not.

I know great speakers. He is not particularly gifted.

He can deliver quasi memorized stump speeches. By deliver, I mean in a basically fluid manner but not exceptionally well.

To be a strong speaker, there should be some indication of extemporaneous speaking abilities. Barack Obama shows little or no indication of this important ability. He often seems confused and stammered by the emergence of such communication events. These events are typical in the life of a politician.

His planners have been shrewd in minimizing his contact to hostile questioning that brings this problem to light, but it still did not make him a great performer.

His 2004 speech was better than his acceptance speech. His acceptance speech was angry. Other speakers such as John Lewis gave better speeches on the same topic Obama tried to explore the same day.

I wish people would stop being so conciliatory.

Many people here stated that MO’s dislike for Hillary kept her off the ticket. I’m not sure about that, though.
I think Biden was a very bad miscalculation, they thought he
could help with white blue collar men, being from Scranton and all.
*chuckle chuckle*

You have hit the nail more accurately: he is good when in closely-scripted scenarios.

As others here have commented (and which any search of YouTube will confirm) once he departs from the script, the wheels turn a little slower and the “uhhs” start to pile up.

Thanks for the reminder.

Zerobama can’t win; he never could have. His sycophantic “base” of support are the demographics least likely to vote, youth and blacks.

His “chances” so far have all been manufactured media hype; his failure to state real objectives and his empty rhetoric have already been seen through by the citizenry.

10-15% of his OWN PARTY are people that publicly state “I’ll never vote for a black man” and even w/o McCain’s pick of Palin to energize the base, NOBODY on the right really wanted to see an inexperienced Chicago Machine pol with strong Marxist/Muslim leanings in the White House.

All the “polls” we have seen so far are highly skewed media creations. When it all came down to it on Nov 4th, non-leftist DemonRats, Republicans, and sane independents would have pulled the lever for McCain as a vote against Obama anyway.

Zerobama never had a chance to be elected to begin with.

I'd really like it if some of the people who have dirt on Obama were to come forth and spill it, under the theory that if he doesn't win the election, they won't be able to cash in with a fat book deal because all the dirt will be old news.

Reverend Wright was talking about a book coming out in the fall, and I hope it's coming. If I may suggest a title: "Notes From Under The Bus".

Obama will spend the rest of his life wondering why he rejected the obvious road to victory, that is, choosing Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential nominee.

The Hillary Myth builds....

You are absolutely right about #1.

You could be right about #2, but I believe Bayh was ready (from several published reports), if the call came, as was Kaine.

I think you’re right on #3. BHO couldn’t have been all that hot on Hillary either. But then, Kennedy and Johnson couldn’t stand each other, but set it aside for a chance to win.

Good comments!

we should start making the public aware of his "uhs" right now so that when the debates roll around, they cant help but notice how often he "uhhs" his way through the simplest statements. that would ensure that fewer undecided voters are able to take him seriously.

hahaha...I think you’re right.

Biden might have helped in Scranton, if all his memories of Scranton hadn’t come from Wales.

I'd like to see Obama go up against Alan Keyes.

Now that would be an ass kicking!
