WASHINGTON – Everyone knows President Barack Obama can deliver a great speech, including the president himself, according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
The paperback version of Reid's book, "The Good Fight," is coming out May 5 with an epilogue called "The Obama Era." Reid said he was impressed when Obama, then a freshman senator from Illinois, delivered a speech about President George W. Bush's war policy.
Reid, D-Nev., writes: "'That speech was phenomenal, Barack,' I told him. And I will never forget his response. Without the barest hint of braggadocio or conceit, and with what I would describe as deep humility, he said quietly: 'I have a gift, Harry.'"

Obama, like Clinton believes being POTUS is a celebrity position.
Obama is like the spoiled actor or celebutard who believes their own hype, as if they were destined or “special”.
Obama is all hype with no real credentials, he believes if he wears his suit well, smiles broadly and reads nicely off his teleprompter with appropriate affectation, that makes him a great POTUS.
He’s all the more dangerous because he’s not qualified, has never run a business and only regurgitates the Socialist mantras he’s learned in college.
Unfortunately most every NARCISSIST has the same gift. That is why they are so successful in frauding people at first. And that is why they are so dangerous. They know how to talk but know nothing of what they are talking about.
I have a tremendous headache in my eye.
The creepiness continues ...
Mr. Cleanface has a gift too.
Yeah, Joe, I was born a BS artist.
I mean Harry! Not Joe Biden. Joe already knows it since he is one, too.
2012. Mayan Calender + Giant Fireball = One Term
Can’t get here soon enough.

Too bad he doesn’t have the gift of COMPETENCE.
Or even the gift of honesty.
Perhaps Reid misunderstood and Barry actually said
“I have a grift.”
With Pentecost appearing 7 weeks after Easter Sunday, we recall the apostles receiving "the gift" of power to be able to preach to and convert the multitudes and masses. Evidently, Obama thinks he has this gift. But if he does, it's not from the direction of Heaven.
In the Pentecostal scene, the Bible describes "there appeared something like tongues of flame over each of the Disciple's heads".
Has anyone been able to spot a flame on top of Obama's head? After all, he received "the gift" from somewhere. The flame might give us a clue.

“I have a gift.”
So did the Trojan horse.
And now he is one of the most powerful people in the world...............
He does have a gift. The gift to destroy a Nation or most anything he touches.
I agree with 2016. Most moderate folks around this part of Texas feel that Obama is doing a reasonable job. They may not like him, but they don’t have the passion of the Freepers. Let’s face it...freeper mentality/aptitude/polling may only comprise about 20-25% of the population. We are a dying breed. People in general can care less...they are exhausted from the constant bad news during the Bush administation, and are wanting to hear good news/no news for the next 4 years. If what Obama has already implemented and proposed hasn’t gotten pitchfork/torch riots by now, it will never happen during the next 3 1/2 years.
Hmmm... a gift; So did Satan.
Let the prompter hit the floor.
You sure it was the back?
