I don’t think he was reading the teleprompter this time. What writer would insert all the juvenile and insulting “You guys” references to the troops into a written speech? This was his lousy extemporaneous speaking ability on display and his very clear inability to think like an adult.
The wheels are coming off. The glitterati that surrounded him early on are abandoning ship, leaving only 2nd stringers to keep his pitard hoisted.
_____all the juvenile and insulting “You guys”____
Yep - those 2 words have been running rampant in our nation - from the President on down.
How do we re-educate people when addressing an audience to say something like ‘boys and girls, you folks, you students, ladies and gentlemen - - ??
Such an opportunity to speak more correctly, especially to kids. They are listening - - -
My spouse can’t abide it when the host in a restaurant asks something like, ‘Are you guys ready to be seated??’
The gentle and friendly correction is something like “we’re not guys, we ARE seniors, and we’re ready to be seated!”
And the pastor in church - one “you guys’ after another. Or referring to more than one person in the Bible as “those guys!” Yiiiiiiiiiiiii !!!
Really sad. It’s hard to avoid all the public places where the salutation and constant referral is to ‘You guys.........’
BHO IS juvenile, and/but maybe still *c o o l* ???
