Hear what else Glenn Beck had to say about last night’s Arizona shooting memorial service, in which the president delivered a speech that Beck called “out-of-the-park American”:

Here’s a President that loved his country and who knew how to address the American people:

Huge contrast between an American patriot and a fraud, in my opinion.

Yeah, I guess BOR didn't dig it when Laura intimated that he was holding his fire because of his upcoming interview with Hussain. Personally, I just think he's a wimp.

Looking out for me, my ***.

No, this was the best speech he has given .. think done without teleprompter but with notes........ the rest was an embarrassment, but I don’t blame him for the stupidity of the university president... and it seems the college was behind the t-shirts, too.

Did you watch the speech? I did and as i was watching my jaw was dropping and I said outloud this is his best-ever speech. I give credit where credit is due, he is a terrible president, but he rose to the occasion in that speech.... to bad I can’t say the same for UofA

"Applause" on the jumbotron was closed-captioning for the deaf. It was capturing the boorish audience reaction, it was not an applause sign.

Unless you think they wanted the audience to repeat everything that was said.

Whatever. I've made my points, I'm done now on this subject. I'll be spending my energy next week harassing my lame-ass representatives about getting Obamacare repealed.

You must set a very low bar for good speeches. It was terrible. He could have stopped the embarrassment any time he wanted. He didn’t because he loved every minute of it. If you really think he wasn’t in on the t-shirt deal, that you are very gullible.

I really don’t know what speech some of you were listening too.

Laura is one of the few who can actually wipe the floor with BOR. That fake “critique” thing he used to have with one of the other ladies (M. Kelly?) turned out to be a back patting session. Laura is the real deal...even when I don't agree with her.

And... truth is, Glenn is the real deal, but he messed up this time. That said, I'm not sure I would hold it together when someone is telling me I helped kill a little girl. That's tough..I give Beck a pass.

Now BOR..he's more of an entertaining player himself, he can't take any real heat at all. Bor just plays a tough guy on TV is all. I used to think he was great but I watched him go mushy every time when the rubber met the road. I only watch him now and then...used to be all the time.

I miss Reagan so much my heart hurts. I wish he were leading us through these horrible times. At least now we have a toehold with this new Congress. I still have a hope of a restored America.

Pure theatrics - nothing more. Guess he got the Ailes memo.

I agree with you.

Whatever the merits of the speech, he could have, and should have, tempered the crowd to solemnity

You can’t really believe that Bozo couldn’t have stopped all the hooting and hollering if he’d really wanted to. Your points are as weak as the crybaby Beck.

A quick read of the text and I didn’t see any of the typical “ I ‘s “ and “ me “s

I have a feeling his speech was rewritten after Sarah Palin gave her speech. Hers was from the heart, and he had to read his from the podium, with a teleprompter likely on the top.

The t-shirts came from Organizing for America. They didn’t put out the shirts without an OK from the White House.

Yes, what a contrast. Note that Reagan didn’t make the Challenger tragedy about himself as the gangsta-in-chief did with the Tucson tragedy. In times of sorrow and anxiety, Reagan and Bush were reassuring. The current White House occupant just offends and irritates.

Where was the word ‘thrive’ used in any remarks? By anyone? Search for yourselves.

The visuals don’t match the message. This is the handling of the message through picture books.

It is pure propaganda. For non-English speakers, illiterates, dumbed-down populace and slogan-crazy hucksters.

Campaign speech #1, launched on corpses.

if you want to hear how a memorial speech is done, view Bush after 9/11. The pretender in chief zero is just a performer. Sometimes he hits his lines but there is no soul in there

The speech would have worked if it had been done quietly from the oval office. I do not believe for a nanosec that the admin was unaware of what would take place.

Anyway..I don't know why you are trying so hard to like Obama..or his speech. I guess I can relate to the desire to actually have a real President of all the people..not just a few. We all long for that day and millions were hoping Obama would be it.

But.... I'm such a bubble burster and so focused on reality that it's annoying to not a few people. I sincerely believe that this entire sad ordeal( rally) was completely staged from start to finish with no surprises.

Obama had to "move to the center" at precisely this place in time to start the push for 2012..everyone knows it but cannot or do not want to believe that he and his circle could be that low...but yes..they were and it is all at once, unbelievable and despicable.

No words can describe the lowliness of using a child's funeral for your agenda..happens all the time in politics around the world and if there is a God..these people will surely be the first to feel the sting of his rebuke...I doubt they believe any rebuke is forthcoming.
