So this is the new "Great Communicator." He's more like the Great Babbler. Because of his great style as an orator (with prepared speeches) people have assumed incorrectly that he is a good communicator. Big difference.

When will comedians make fun of him? So far, all I've heard is that he's so perfect, there's just nothing to laugh at.

But as far as I'm concerned the guy is a perfect joke.

I don’t agree with him but your wrong. The American people will like what he said tonight and his poll numbers will rise.

Babbling, awkward pauses, and non-answers.

You amy be right about people’s reaction. We’ll see. But my point is that he sucks as a communicator.

By the way, it’s “you’re wrong.”

He lied about Japan. He lied about the New Deal. He lied when he implied that Bush’s response to every problem for eight years was a tax cut. He lied when he said Bush’s spending caused this recession. He lied when he said his spending would end this recession. He lies a lot.

It will be declared a brilliant press conference.

Don’t forget you’re dealing with people that applauded when he blew his nose while on the campaign trail.

If the Messiah picks his nose during a press conference, Soledad O’Brien and the rest will have feelings up their legs.

I watched 5 minutes and couldn't figure out what the hell he was saying.

Not coherent at all.
