As far as Obama speeches go, I found this read to have been his best outing with the teleprompters yet. It was well written for him and designed to show his "heart." Of course, he is a reader, not an orator. He has no flexibility. No "touch," except to those who believer in him as a messiah of sorts. The man is false. Not authentic. But his handlers sure as hell know their business.
Obama Step 1: Energize the base. He did this by not-so-subtly attacking the right. Again, IMHO, it was not a Home run, but it sure as hell was at least a double!
Damn right it was shameful to do this at a funeral. But, he used it as the official kick-off of his campaign for re-election and it worked. Of course, we don't get it. It wasn't intended for us!
Do not underestimate the Mombasa Moonbeam. Team Obama is well managed. And I repeat, it is not managed for our benefit.
I was explaining to a “sort of” Liberal I know how I differ with those on the Left. Liberals will protect their Leaders at all costs, even when it is apparent that those same Leaders are failing on their promises, be it reducing Deficit Spending or increasing Transparency.
I explained that Conservatives often disagree with their Leaders, such as with President Bush pushing Amnesty or his first choice of Harriet Meyers for SCOTUS.
Principle is a foreign concept to Liberal Voters. Power is all they crave, the rest will fall into place after they pollute the Judiciary and the minds of our Children.
