I’ve never thought that Obama was a great speaker, and his lately acquired, phony, homeboy accent was annoying and insulting, as it should have been to African-Americans.
“I’ve never thought that Obama was a great speaker....”
unless you think stilted, halting and leaden are positive adjectives
Oh, I hated obama's fake accent. Annoying is right! I heard him on youtube reading his book and he had no accent what so ever. So I wondered why it wasn't insulting to his followers. Why they didn't realize he was talking down to them every time he opened his mouth. Like he thought they were beneath him, or just plain dumb. It reminded me so much of kerry and his put on accent, talking down to people in Ohio.
I never thought he was a great speaker either. I just don’t get it. If anything, his speeches annoyed the hell outta me and I had to turn him off. I just can’t see what these folks see in this guy, I really can’t!
I have a client who is an actor but specilalizes in oratory.
He says Obama is not a true orator, he continually drops inflection at the end of sentences.
