What always amazes me is hearing comments from people who say that Barack Obama can really "give a good speech." It's clear that they like his style when he has his teleprompter handy or his scripted speech memorized. But a really good speech can be given off-the-cuff, and Obama just can't do it.
Just look at what happened Friday when Obama was supposed to give a speech on Obamacare, but he didn't have a teleprompter, and his speech was not sitting at the podium. Hello! The subject is something he knows well, but he couldn't muster anything except umms and errs.
I think the most annoying is his several references to "People!" as if his servants were letting him down. One would expect a little more class from the president of the United States.
Perhaps he's already feeling the heat from all the scandals that are boiling over. All I can say is that since the New York Times came out and said Barack Obama has lost all credibility, I'm sure there will be a lot more umms and errs coming from his mouth.
His last remark, “folks are sweating back there right now”, reeks of his arrogance.
Of course, anyone who failed their boss like this would be worried. However, a confident and wise boss would let his subordinates off the hook. They have already had their “teachable moment”. This was an ideal time for a gracious leader to crack a self-deprecating joke about “No teleprompter, no notes! What am I to do?”
Alas, Obama is at a loss, even when faced with a minor thing like this. Reagan or Palin or even Bush would have shone in a situation such as this.
In Russia, president uses TelePrompter, in America, TelePrompter uses president...
My how things have reversed themselves. Now we envy Russia’s tax code and they laugh at our institutionalized incompetence.
If even the New York Times has concluded that Obama has no credibility, how can anyone believe anything he says, including the contents of speeches written by others, and, more importantly, the fact that he has a valid birth certificate proving his eligibility to be President?
As Obama’s lies, crimes against the Constitution, and other frauds continue to be exposed daily, it become increasingly apparent that Obama does not have the documentation necessary to prove he’s a legitimate president; and, as Obama continues to demonstrate that he can’t speak without reading words written by others from a Teleprompter or piece of paper, it also becomes increasingly apparent that he does not have a fully functioning brain.
"I'll have a mocha latte with whip cream on top in a blue cup.
And don't spill any."
"Does anybody else want coffee?"
I don’t know if the world was ever really sane.
Kornbluth posited a society where the truly competent were hiding and posing as restroom attendants while trying to direct the idiots who seemed to be in charge.
Of course, today, restroom attendants only survive in a very few upscale/private venues, if at all. The idiots are all on their own.
It's unfair, but it's reality.
“Does anybody else want coffee?”
That is really funny.
Not because he is black, but because he is truly a go-fer.
I hope we find out whose go-fer he is.
Writing and reading this stuff.....wonder how long before the black helicopters come.
First democrat 2016 presidential primary candidate to announce they are running for office: The Teleprompter.
True.
The only thing Zero is capable of presenting is a endless string of lies, distortions and brainless platitudes.
He is as gracious as a mentally deficient cobra.
He takes his people skills from watching Hillary in action. When she was the worst lady no one was permitted to make eye contact with her as she waddled down the halls of the defamed White Hut.
You know what the sub-text of this is?
Every single politician in the world gets up on stage - whether it’s for a county local party event - or a G8 - and they say thank you to the assembled “dignitaries” and then finishes with “and my good friends” or whatever.
Hussein turns to the lady on this left and wants to say “it’s so good to see X” and you can see he doesn’t even know who is up there on stage with him. Meaning he couldn’t even freelance - “great to see Shamiqua, Radonda, etc. etc.”
And this is where he got his panties in a wad.
Takes cluelessness to a whole new level.
Errrr - the other left - his right, the viewer’s left ...
> I hope we find out whose go-fer he is.
It is evident from his actions and inactions.
He was badly rattled from the start: “It is wunner to see-in all of you.”
and it’s the way he says, “folks are sweatin’ back there right now” which speaks volumes.
instead of having a, “hey, that happens” attitude....people ‘back there’ are sweating because they know he will come down on them with a sledgehammer for making him look stupid. Jacka$$ looks stupid all on his own, but too wrapped up in himself to see it.
The guy needs a teleprompter to masturbate.
He’s not just an ‘empty suit’ though. Obama is a neurotic puppet, crammed chock-full with the dreams from his Marxist putative father(s), with one of the suspects writing a paper on the feasibility of taxing the bourgeois at 100%.
All his life he’s had people inflating his ‘self-esteem’ so the last few years have really rattled him:
“Why can’t half the country recognize that ‘we are the ones they have been waiting for?”
Combine a muddled, second-rate ideological intellect, demonstrating the ‘Peter principle’ every day, with a first-rate ‘Messianic’ complex and you get a hemming, hawing, incoherent leftist bigot when he ‘solos’ in front of the microphone without TOTUS.
Obama speaks in an annoying clipped monotone that drives me up the wall. His whole delivery is much like a fourth-grader reading a book report or describing a class trip. “We went to the zoo. I saw all the animals in the zoo. I saw a giraffe. then we went home. The End’’.
She’s a conservative, so she’s “dumb” by default, to the chattering classes, including some ostensibly on our side. They’re scared to death that they’ll be tainted by association (the columnists, etc on the so-called “right”), so they join in the pile-on.
Buckley, I believe, was the last conservative who got due respect for his intelligence. The later ones only get grudging respect if they betray the right, if then.
