When I think of Obama, I always think of a report/rumor which came out during the final weeks of the campaign back in ‘08, that Obama’s people were upset at Bill Clinton for something he mentioned on the stump. Essentially what Clinton allegedly said was Obama told his staff (in regards to the banking crisis perhaps) to just come up with something and he’ll sell it. I guess Clinton meant to praise Obama’s ability at persuasion but it came off as though that’s all Obama was, a super duper salesman who can convince people of anything.
Regardless of the validity of this report, throughout Obama’s time in office i have often been reminded of it, for I think that’s basically what he is: a gifted salesman blessed with a great voice and smile. So why not play golf and shoot hoops all the time? Just tell him what to sell and he’ll sell it.
Interesting that you think Obama is a good salesman with good speaking ability.
It’s possible, I guess, but I see him more as the beneficiary of media support, approval and even worship.
What would Obama be without the media backing him up every single minute of every single day, year in, year out, starting with his speech to the Democrap convention in 2004?
I don’t think he’d be a super-salesman at all. I think he’d just be some run-of-the-mill hack democrap politician.
He has been anointed by the media as The One. That’s what makes him shine. There’s nothing else there. No ability of any kind whatsoever. I mean, have you ever heard him off-teleprompter? He’s a bumbling idiot.
