Barack Obama's remarkable powers of oratory are well known: In support of Chicago's Olympic bid, he flew into Copenhagen to give a heartwarming speech about himself, and they gave the games to Rio. He flew into Boston to support Martha Coakley's bid for the U.S. Senate, and Massachusetts voters gave Ted Kennedy's seat to a Republican. In the first year of his presidency, he gave a gazillion speeches on health care "reform" and drove support for his proposals to basement level, leaving Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to ram it down the throats of the American people through sheer parliamentary muscle.

Makes my skin crawl just reading about such a cold, calculating anti-American representing our country. The words I would rather use I can’t print here.
I started reading expecting Steyn’s usual on target humor. But it was appropriately sobering. Steyn is po’d. So am I.
Another great column by MS.
The comments to his article article are very good.....
Great article!
Listening to Obama and Eric Holder, perhaps they've figured out there's nothing much up there anyway."
Steyn BUMP!

Something we hoped could never happen here, we have literally elected an anti-American administration
Good article; Steyn is brilliant when describing the character weaknesses of 0bama.
Another ‘Obamaism’.
The things that matter most to Real Americans, is what 0bama fails so miserably with.
I saw some of this speech by 0bama. He was lifeless. His heart wasn’t in it at all. You can easily tell when he could care less about a certain issue. Cap and trade and 0bama-care are what really turn on our Kenyan socialist president
BO’s “captured our imaginations” was one of the most disgusting remarks I’ve ever heard. BO is am ass!!!
Obviously, the loss of Daniel Pearl was one of those moments that captured the world’s imagination because it reminded us of how valuable a free press is.”
I think Jonathan Alter had him pegged. Obama lacks leadership skills. Alter pointed out the Obama failed to convince anyone to follow him.
kinda turns the Biden ‘joke’ about ‘look behind you, President Bush’ right back on Obama where it belongs.
Great article post. Steyn devastates the great faux orator.
Not just Anti American but Pro Islam.
The most dangerous combination in history. Jimmah Carter was just a fool. But this guy is an actual enemy. Big difference.
You can always tell when he cares about something, because he shows actual emotion, as in his infamous "Cambridge police acted stupidly" soundbite. When it comes to flashpoints of race or "social justice," our boy is always on fire. All other times, he's just a bad stage actor going through the motions transparently and obviously.
Obama got elected President of the United States by using fluffy, meaningless, values-neutral, morally relative phrases. So for him, a man being beheaded with a knife isn’t horrific, infuriating, sickening, disgusting, or any of 1000 other emotions any human being would feel. For him, it’s a one world, one size fits all, opportunity to advance the collective ideology.
This is a must read.
I can’t help but believe that this will change the hearts of even a few of his admirers.
