MSNBC consensus: Obama’s speech was historic, amazing, “one of the best of his presidency”

In case you missed it, Allahpundit had President Obama’s number on the recycled rehash that was his ‘big speech’ yesterday — which was epic only in the sense that it was an egregious nothingburger of bromides about what we’re told are President Foreign Policy’s miraculous yet still oddly unmaterialized abilities to move us drastically closer to world peace. But, if we could count on anybody to still be gushing about it more than six hours later, we know where to look. I have to give the president some credit: It was of course nothing doing to dissuade conservatives from the robust pursuit of Scandalmania and the accompanying questions and criticisms, but it was an effective squirrel in at least momentarily getting back in these guys’ well-sung and complementary graces:

Historic, doubtful. One of the best of his presidency? Amazing?

You bet it was amazing, that he has been allowed to get by with one of the best deceptive speeches of his Presidency.

‘Today, Osama bin Laden is dead, and so are most of his top lieutenants,’ Obama said. ‘There have been no large-scale attacks on the United States, and our homeland is more secure.’

Typical Obama Bull Excrement speech, and later fellatio by the MSNBC fluffers.

They are just too stupid. They don’t even recognize a con job when they see one. Typical 0. He’s in trouble so he’s got to “play president” for the next week.

This speech was the beginning of Zero’s attempt to sway America that the threat of terrorism is waning and it’s time to close down the “war on terror”. He desperately needs to money that will follow from his defunding the military to pay for his socialist agenda.

Yes. he gives a good speech, but what he says and what he does are two very different things.

Do they rate Obama’s speeches on content or delivery? Take away his TelePrompTer, and he is nothing but a babbling fool.

BTW, can anyone quote any lines from Obama’s speeches? (If so, thank the speech writer, not Obama)

Are Obama-speak and IRS-speak mere dialects of some larger language that is evolving (or “evoloving” as one might say)?

I recall a time, fossil that I am, when language was used to say something, and largely came out of the mouths of unquestionably-authentic human beings. Hard to tell if we have now fallen through some sort of wormhole mediated mind-warp looking glass, or whether we’re merely bardo bit players in a Castaneda-inspired serotonergic misread on consensus reality.

MSNBC is in full panic mode, and pulling out all the stops to make this usurper relevant.

Of course, when the bar is set so low, he doesn’t have far to go for it to be his best speech....

I saw 5 minutes. His anger has made him a pretty poor speaker even with the twin teleprompters. He didn’t come across as having even read what was on the TelePrompTers until then.

All that heard was “..blah. Blah blah blahblahblah blah? Blahablababla... ad infinitum.

He speaks in platitudes, mashedup metaphors, doublespeak and “Captain Obvious” statements besides misstatements of facts, implausible fictions about the future and downright idiocy.
