She went on and on, I had to turn it off, I like Sarah but for goodness sakes get to the point !!! already
Got a problem with a short attention span? That was a great speech. She looked and sounded Presidential and not like the gang-banger wantta be that occupies the Oval Office today. I hope Sarah runs in 2012.
What, is seven minutes too long for your short attention span?
“She went on and on”
Interesting take. I am very critical of her appearances. I have watched the Alaska series, and I agree with many of the complaints about her speech patterns and quality of her voice. That is why I watched this response so closely. I was watching to see any stumbles, any voice problems, anything to “spoil” an important response. As a result, I failed to notice how long it took. I was spellbound. Simply floored with the total package. And MOST importantly, it ceased to be a speech, a performance, and swept me up in moment of being assured there was a LEADER, ready to represent my ideals to the world.
Do you have ADD? Seven minutes is not long for an important speech. I think she encapsulated the entire situation in an appropriate time. I guess I didn’t bring my stopwatch, I was too busy listening to what she actually said.
But instead of turning it off, I kept listening. It was very good, she finished it well, you should have continued. She said what was needed to be said in a respectful manner, told off the media for what it had done while keeping above the fray, all the time expressing a positive vision for those who were mourning to aspire to another day.
I hope the networks and other media outlets have the decency to play most, if not all of it.
Cut me a break. The entire speech was about 7 minutes and 47 seconds. She packed it with more points than most pols can make in a 20 or 30 minute one. In FACT, she made two speeches in that short time: one healing, inspiring one and a slapdown to the left. For that reason, it's hard to believe you really watched it.
If you refer to post fifty, you will note that each and every sentance has a subject, a verb, and contains a complete thought, ie, a point. She made a point in each and every sentence.
But, you already knew that.
Your point is to discredit, and although you fail miserably, the point of your posts are in fact well understood pretty much by everyone here.
History is unfolding before your very eyes, but you're too impatient to spare 7 minutes to witness it. Unbelievable.
