Krauthammer On Obama: "One Of The Emptiest Speeches I Have Ever Heard" (video)
RealClearPolitics ^ | September 6, 2012 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 09/06/2012 8:44:13 PM PDT by i88schwartz

Charles Krauthammer on President Obama's convention speech: "I was stunned. This is a man who gave one of the great speeches of our time in 2004. And he gave one of the emptiest speeches I have ever heard on a national stage. Yes it had cadence, and yes, there were deceptions in it, but that is not what is so striking about it. There was nothing in it. This is a man who believes that government can and should do a lot. There's nothing here that tells us how he's going to go from today to tomorrow."

Yay anbother kid jumping on the bandwagon- Have your fun at the expense of peopel less fortunate than yourself- well done!

Wow! Marijuana fueled paranoia maybe? Or, perhaps you've run out of your medications and are decompensating? Or, your parents left you home alone without adult supervision? Whichever the case may be, it appears a lesson in humility is required for you. I sincerely hope someone has an opportunity to provide that, and soon.

“Mr. CottShop,
Then kindly explain to us why you type the way you do and its all over if there is a valid reason such as paralysis, dyslexia, learning disability, blindness, etc. If its just laziness then you won’t be catching a break here. “

Really? This is what FR is now? People demanding others explain any possible physical disability?

What happened to this place? Unbelievable.

“Not trying to pick on you, but like it or not, presentation matters in presenting an argument.

If a person was drunk and slurring, people are not going to listen to the contents of the speech, no matter how brilliant the words are.”

You have aligned yourself with rude, crass People, so what do you think people think about you? “ not trying to pick on you” rings pretty hollow does it not?

Whoopsie!!! You said you were done- but apaprently you weren’;t done- just had to get in some more nasty little comments first huih? Didn’t your guardians ever tell you that if you don’t have anythign nice to say to someone then don’t say anything at all? Try it sometime-

[[The reason people are jumping on you is because you make yourself look more ignorant than you might actually be.]]

Hmmmm- you’re still going on huh? QWhen are you goign to ‘be done’ with me again?

[[Then there is invincible ignorance. You have it]]

And on and on and on you go- you know, for someoen who was supposedly ‘done with’ me long ago- you certainly have been carrying on in a nasty little tone for quite some time now-

[[You can’t fix stupid]]

PHEW!!! So much bitterness- that’s ok- let it all ouit now- there- don’t you feel better abotu yourself now? Cheers m ate!

I’m sorry the spelling nazi’s have shown up on this thread and have nothing to comment about except your transpositions and misspellings.

Although I have excellent spelling abilities, I often post with typos on forums; it’s easy to do and one reason why one of my English professors insisted on having all essays printed out first for editing. It’s a proven fact that editing skills improve when an essay is reviewed for errors on paper rather than a computer monitor.

As for disabilities, I take care of someone who is blind and requires a reader to assist him not only with reading but also typing so he can post to ‘forums’ and online, such as with Facebook. I daily see and experience his frustrations as he knows how to spell but the software programs do not cooperate with his blindness and disability.

I apologize for your treatment here. It’s unwarranted.

At this juncture it is important to point out that perfection isn’t at issue. The individual in question has chosen to take the path he/she is on, despite opportunity to go a different direction. That makes him/her obstinate, rude, and unlikable. Again, that is a choice.

[[”In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.”]]

Charles is an elitist, and I have lost ALL respect for him ever since I read the transcript from the death panel/health rationing within the President’s Ethics Committee (yes, then President Bush) in which he was a member and participated many years ago (and may still). It was repulsive.

I won’t listen to Obama and it should come as a surprise to no one that Obama = drivel, government socialist, ‘I, me, and my’ mentality.

I used to listen to Clinton’s speeches, trying to understand what he was saying, it made no sense. Then I would search them out on the internet and read them and they still didn’t make any sense. All the while the pundits were lauding his great oratory.

How anyone can talk and never say anything still leaves me scratching my head. Dittos for Obama.

Clinton also used a LOT of “I’s” in his speeches, almost as many as Obama. Or maybe more.

Pondering who is the better speaker, Clinton or Obama, is like trying to determine if I’d rather pick up dog poop or human poop with my bare hands. There’s just no easy answer.

Your presumption and hence your conclusion are wrong. But, one would not expect much different from someone like you. I suppose you will continue to prove me right in your next post.

Incorrect little kitten. The fact that it is a topic belongs much earlier. A post history will find your minx.

Based upon post #81 I would conclude that mr. cottshop is playing wordsmith games.

I presumed nothing, it was an analogy used to illustrate a point, not an accusation.

The only person who’s rude and jumping to conclusions here is you.
