Even Obama fans notice he's a phony in how he writes, talks, and even walks

How phony is Barack Obama? PBS Washington Week host Gwen Ifill reviewed New Yorker editor David Remnick's new Obama book The Bridge in the Washington Post Outlook section Sunday, and she kept finding Obama is a Slick Barry, a "shape shifter." Obama even admitted to rhetoric what should be obvious -- how he changes "dialects" depending on the audience he's talking to:

Obama cops to this. "The fact that I conjugate my verbs and speak in a typical Midwestern newscaster's voice -- there's no doubt that this helps ease communication between myself and white audiences," he tells Remnick.

"And there's no doubt that when I'm with a black audience I slip into a slightly different dialect. But the point is, I don't feel the need to speak a certain way in front of a black audience. There's a level of self-consciousness about these issues the previous generation had to negotiate that I don't feel I have to."

Seems like zero is playing the race card....

[Piquaboy]

He is even a phony black.

[nhoward14]

But Harry Reid assured us he had no discernable negro dialect!

[MrB]

He’s overcompensating to keep from being rejected by all subcultures.

He’s been told that whites won’t accept him because of his skin color (a lie),
and that he’ll be rejected by blacks unless he’s “authentic”.

So, he goes overboard to be “authentic”.

I hate Nobama more every day. I blame him for my rise in blood pressure.

[ilovesarah2012]

LOL - I have heard the word on O’Reilly but never bothered to find out the definition. Now I know - Obama.

All Lefties , at least the craven politicos, do this.
Remember that long quotation done by a weary Hillary during the campaign, delivered to an all-black audience?
A good example also, like Obama’s of even her ‘fans’ probably finding that a little hard to swallow.

"The fact that I conjugate my verbs and speak in a typical Midwestern newscaster's voice -- there's no doubt that this helps ease communication between myself and white audiences,"

Well, let me just speak in my easy southeastern down home voice that even you can understand 'bammy.

FUBO

[SMARTY]

“The fact that I conjugate my verbs and speak in a typical Midwestern newscaster’s voice...”

Let’s see if I have this right? Claiming the support of a group he NEVER bothered to cultivate and DOES NOT understand either as a population or as individuals???

As articulate as he wants to be.

[Carry_Okie]

I couldn't care less what form of colloquial speech he uses any more than it would bother me if he spoke French Parisians; it's the dishonest CONTENT of what he says that is problematic.

[Tigerized]

I’m waiting for someone to modify the “That’s Racist” animation loop. That kid is getting harder and harder to watch every day.

Any chance we can pause the loop at the end, so a hand can come in and slap him upside the head?

Just “axing”.

[Aevery_Freeman]

I'll second that!

[woofie]

He is not even a real phony

[Hardraade]

Shapeshifter?? Quick, someone get David Icke...

[sickoflibs]

In front of moderates he does the Reagan imitation.
How about his claim that the HR was really a republican bill because it was loaded with republican ideas?

A year ago he was considered magic in his ability to convince voters of anything he said. Now his act is getting old.
