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

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."

Hey, cut ‘’cottshop’’ some slack. Maybe he/she is dyslexic or elderly or just isn't so hot at typing. We should all be so perfect.

Obama didnt write that speech...somebody else wrote it for him.

He doesn't write any of his speeches He is a teleprompter reading puppet who likes the trappings of being president but none of the real work and hasn't the faintest idea of what to do

His marxist handlers send him out to act as the front man

I’ve asked several people who raved about obama’s speech in 2004 what he said and none of them have a clue.

Possibly from the nation of Gibber. I recognize the language.

His 2004 was good. At a time where things were wildly partisan, following 2000 and the anti war crap, he rolled in with the ‘no red states, no blue states, just the United States’. It was total bs, based on his world view, but it was an intriguing speech. Everything he did from that moment on was crap in my opinion, but that was a pretty good speech and had a message that resonated.

Looking back now on 2008, he actually gave a good one after winning Iowa. It was pure hope and change. In the weeks after, as the media and Hillary started pushing for specifics, it became abundantly clear his beliefs were radical left, but until he was forced to get more specific, it was closer to the 2004 rhetoric.

I am the farthest thing from and Obama fan, I find him to have a borderline to fullbread narcissistic third world dictators mindset, but I won’t deny he has honed his skills as a persuasive politician to grab power.

Even James Carville panned the speech on Twitter.

There are many in the convention hall who still don't have a clue!

I’m sorry, would you like to try that again in English? Did you type that on a blackberry while suffering from dyslexia plus too much ‘sauce?’
