Speechifying is his forte. Being able to actually DO anything is the hard part.
For 0bama is at best a good reader; he is but a fair presentor and at worst a poor communicator. And this is only when he has a working teleprompter.
I would assume the chisels are already out.
I’m surprised they haven’t built a monument next to the Lincoln memorial for him yet. I betcha he mouths some of Lincoln’s words. Maybe he’ll use... “For score and seven, Obama’ll make life heaven...
I’m stocking up on the Dramamine.

Given the nation’s current economic crisis, Errol Lewis, a columnist for the New York Daily News, was looking for Obama to echo Roosevelt’s famous 1933 inauguration address when he said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
“He’s got to calm the nation. I think he’s got to reassure the nation and let people know that we are in it for the long haul. If you look at that 1933 speech, that is pretty much what FDR did,” Lewis said.
Observe how mainstream media’s sugery, sickening sweet, worship reporting of obozo. Have a BARF bag ready.
sabotage the teleprompter
I’m sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we’re Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.

We conservatives are going to be real skinny by the next election from all the puking we will be doing during the next few years. I’m losing a couple of pounds tomorrow for sure.

Since all that he is noted for is effectively reading a platitude filled speech with little substance now and then, they have set the bar at that high measure -- talk to us and sound real grown up, like a real President -- and if he can do that the media will acclaim that the Savior has been born, the new age is dawned and announce sightings of Unicorns at every opportunity.
