Stopped reading right there. A real orator doesn't need a teleprompter.
” Speeches that once set pulses racing... “
...now send thumbs racing - towards the ‘Mute’ button..
People are tired of speeches. That’s all he’s got. It is going to be a long three years. For him.
LOL. It’s a bird...it’s a plane...no, it’s SUPER PIG!
TOTUS
He’s only “the most gifted orator in the history of the world” or whatnot because the New York Times said he was. His actual speeches are total crap.
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IN HIS OWN WORDS
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S UPBRINGING
ROFLMAO!!!! Does he give you a thrill up your leg?
The writer is just another sad liberal whose leg doesn’t tingle for 0 the way it used to.
Agreed. You want a gifted orator? Try Reagan on for size; he was the REAL DEAL.
....and legs tingling!
“Speeches that once set pulses racing now feel more familiar”
My pulse is still high when I hear him...of anger
The only ones proclaiming this are the sycophants in the media. Obama isn’t a great orator. And the biggest conclusion is that his words were always full of hot hair and when his balloon bursted, it all fell down to the ground to be seen what his words really were. Lies and rhetoric to make the insane believe he was their God.
I watched part of the Fort Hood speecha and really found it horrible. This side to side glancing to read the teleprompter is really getting old and repulsive. I am thinking that it really sounded shallow
Most know that he is just an empty suit, reading a script like an actor in a play or a trained parrot and are not wowed anymore. And when it’s his own words, they know he’s a pathological liar in the extreme!
His address to the Fallen at FT HOOD could have been a great moment...but as I watched him shift his eyes from side to side....i felt...its just another speech someone sat and wrote for him while drinking their starbucks this morning after reading what was important to the people at Ft. Hood...Nothing personal...he could have spoken from the heart and showed he didnt need a speech to tell he was thankful to soldiers and their families for the many sacrifices they make...but no....he made a speech as always.
brings an old saying to mind; Actions talk, BS walks...
Well, before we get to their beating up on him, let’s examine those opening words.
“As the most gifted orator of his generation. . . .”
Where the HELL do they get this nonsense? He can’t speak a word without his teleprompter. He stands there with his head swiveling from side to side like some kind of robot metronome. And if you actually EXAMINE what he says, it’s all vacuous nonsense.
As I recall, a great orator has to consider three aspects: ethos, pathos, and logos.
Ethos involves the moral credibility of the speaker. Does Obama inspire trust? Not unless you’re an idiot.
Pathos involves feeling. Does Obama express any real feelings? Does he feel for anyone but himself. Does he reach out and appeal to the feelings of his audience? Not unless they are idiots.
Logos involves logic. Do Obama’s speeches make any sense? Does he ever engage in rational persuasion? Not unless you’re an idiot.
It sickens me whenever I hear this nonsense about Obama being a great speaker. I can’t stand looking at him, and I can’t stand listening to him. I thought that clinton was bad, but Obama almost makes clinton look like a decent guy. Almost. In fact, I can’t stand looking at or listening to either one of them, and I can’t understand how anyone can let these corrupt and evil jerks send thrills up their legs.
